| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Hi mac,I'm also purchasing Altec A5 or A7 VOTT. Definitely going to follow the mods implemented by Jeff Day. And remember both Day and Smith owe Shirokazu Yazaki-san for turning them on to the We16ga/Belden 8402 as well as Jeff's Arizona capacitor... | |
| A little help please John Rutan is absolutely one of the best. You are lucky you found him. Best, Rob | |
| What's the best Sony CD/SACD player? I use the Sony S9000ES in a second system as transport and couldn't be happier. It is connected to Eastern Electric MiniMax DAC via Silnote digital cable currently, in past MIT. I recently made a couple of Western Electric WE14ga power cords with ... | |
| Best Cables for around $500 And and the Belden 8402 microphone cable for a about $80 beat the Mogami and many others handily. Save your bucks. Best, Rob | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price The We14ga Is excellent, period. So are all the other gauge wire, 10ga, 12ga, 14ga, depending on your use. I'm now using the WE10ga as power cord to amp and WE 14ga as power cord to DAC and Transport. Best, Rob | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today I decided yesterday to purchase Altec A5 or A7 Voice of the theatre (VOTT), have them modded such as Jeff Day, see his blog, about his acquiring Maestro Stowkowski's Altec A5. I'm pumped by the potential of these speakers with my low-watt amps (... | |
| Tannoy vs. ATC I'd go Tannoy and keep the Tubes; more musical to these ears. And if you don't have to replace amp, perhaps Canterbury become doable? | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium preamp owners! Saki70,The Black Treasure 6CA7 much, much better than stock EL34 in Primaluna. | |
| Taralabs cables Hi Zephyr,Well, many in the Audiogon community members did same as me, see my response under another cable discussion. Unfortunately the Western Electric 16ga is no longer available, seemingly. Best, Rob | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium preamp owners! I use Joe's Tube Lore as a touchstone; it is outstanding work by Joe and I agree with most of his listening experience. As always, room, rig, taste will determine what one settles on...the RCA Clear Tops in my Primaluna were very good, just not as... | |
| Taralabs cables Hi, my name is Rob and I am a musician. The Nordost and Taralabs are too lean for me. I bought Western Electric 16ga tinned copper speaker cables, very musical, bare wire to terminals. Since they cost only about a $1.49 a running foot when I bough... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium preamp owners! Second Saki70. Love Black Treasure 6CA7’s, the Amperex Bugle Boy 12au7 and Sylvania 12ax7 or Sylvania 5751 3 Mica Blackplates. The RCA Clear Tops also good. This week I am putting up for sale these tubes. Great Nos on the Amperex, RCA, Sylvania si... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes To me, the question is: Why would anyone choose a difficult load where one needs a lot of power and ability to drive that difficult load. There are many ways to make it easier on yourself, likely less costly as well. Best, Rob |
