| Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 vs Mark Levinson 585.5 Based on auditioning the JRDG 625 S2 and the ML 532 in my system as an indication, I would go with the ML.This is of course if the above stereo amp equivalents are good proxies for their respective integrated amps. | |
| Warm/Forgiving AES/EBU digital cable less then $1000 @denman which Cardas cable is this? Clear or the older Lightning 15? | |
| Rectifier For Cary SLP 05 Just an update so other folk will know for the future. Cary says it is electrically the same but will not fit because of the size.Also, they don't recommend a directly heated rectifier 5R4 or 5U4 on the SLP-05. " Use indirectly heated tubes like ... | |
| Rectifier For Cary SLP 05 Is Dan Wemmer still at Cary?No reply as yet and it is way after the weekend. | |
| Rectifier For Cary SLP 05 @testpilot here's hoping it does last forever.@rodman99999 how do the Phillips GZ34's sound vis-a-vis the Mullard?@tvad I am checking with Cary on both the Brimar and the Mullard GZ37 nut as it is the weekend I thought I may get a quicker response... | |
| Krell upgrade mistake? That should not be the case.The KCT is a better preamp than the KRC HR or the KRC 3 even in balanced mode. I have owned both the KCT and the KRC HR.Running all cast (inclusive of source) will improve it further but the KCT should have the old Krel... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio @the_treble_with_tribbles Thank you for taking the time to go through the copious email chain. Thanks also for your impartial reading of the situation.As I mentioned, it seems unlikely that I will see my money back but do hope that people will se... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio @glupson Yes, one really has to have luck when purchasing an Uptone product. Because everything is considered to be the customer's fault. Rattling noise from a mis-specified board size, botched up assembly and screw job, warranty replacement that ... | |
| Power/Current: How much is realistic? I was always under the impression that it’s not really possible to overdrive speakers that require high current to drive like the Martin Logan’s or Dynaudio’s - at least that’s what I have been told over the years.While you probably would not use ... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio @thyname you just don’t understand contract law. If the amount were large enough, I would have sued Uptone. In which case, I hope you would be his counsel. Either way legally, it is a clear cut case.@the_treble_with_tribbles , all I ever asked for... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio You are the one that needs to be real.I am NOT gaming anything.Do the math yourself - I did not pay just $250. I paid $435 for a brand new LPS 1.2 with the $185 being an imputed credit to void the warranty if I were to have received a brand new LP... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio @thyname the feeling is mutual - it would be painful for me to deal with you too. I am glad we never have to.1. I purchased a used LPS 1 - it was current generation then and had another 2 years left to the fully transferable warranty offered by Up... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio @thyname No, I did purchase the LPS 1 for a low price at all.I would have expected an item repaired under warranty to have lasted for more than 2 months and that through the 2 year lifespan of that warranty period, 1 return would be sufficient. T... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio @david_ten Yes, I too find the sharing of email chains distasteful but clearly Alex Crespi is unprofessional enough to not.@thyname since you condone this behaviour, please know that Alex has your personal data too and will not hesitate to use it ... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio @ianrmack no bitching. If you had read my post about Cardas I was asking for alternate contacts because time was pressing and I hadn't heard back from Cardas. Angela sent an email shortly after apologising for the delay in getting back.@jaybe no a... |
