| Need help from ALON V 's owners. 07-25-08: PhotoalanThere was also a woofer upgrade at some at point on the MK3.I've seen a number of posts and classifieds where people have upgraded Model II's and V's with Alnico woofers. I don't know if this was standard on the V MkIII. | |
| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? Thanks for your suggestions. 07-26-08: Mitch2I built my own balanced attenuators for the input side of a tube preamp using Vishay resistors Is it better to put the attenuators on the input rather than the output to the amp? I'd really like to see ... | |
| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? Bob, I completely agree with you, but Kevin at Upscale assured me that he's never had a problem mating an AE-3 DJH with amps that have less than 1v input sensitivity. My DAC has an output of 1.8v which is less than your average 2v. My speakers are... | |
| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? 07-25-08: Mboldda1in the case of tube preamps, what about using lower gain tubes?Is there such a thing as low gain 6SN7's? | |
| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? I appreciate the suggestions. The manufacturer or a modifier can do it internally/elegantly.I like this idea. I sent a message to Cary and AES to find out what they recommend. I'm waiting to hear from them. A switch and a few resisters at the powe... | |
| Whats the best Cartridge for a bright Pro-ject 9 ? Can anyone recommend a good phono pre amp? Almost anything will be an upgrade to the MF X-LPSv3. I found that it lacked any sense of warmth, three dimensional soundstage or lifelike realism when compared to an EAR 834P, Wright WPP100c, WPP200c, an... | |
| Still working on choosing a power amp 07-21-08: DougdubinBob, The Rogue Perseus has an Output Impedance of 450 Ohms. Does that mean the input inpedance of the power amp should be 4500 ohms? So, for example the Mcintosh line of SS amps have an input impedance of 10,000 ohms... therefor... | |
| Tube phono preamp help please. Bottlehead Seduction with 36 dB gain is very well regarded in the $500 or less range. Your Ortofon 2M Red with 5.5 mV output will match with it fine. Check the forums: Bottlehead Seduction Phono Stage question | |
| Best way to add remote volume control to tube pre. I agree with Rodman about the Creek remote units. I used one briefly between my source and amps and found it wasn't as invisible as I wanted it to be. A Placette would be a much better option. | |
| Rega Phono Mini or....? When I was getting back into vinyl, I tried a bunch of entry level phono stages. Some were quieter than others, but I didn't find a substantial difference between them. IMO, they all sounded somewhat similar. You might want to check out this TNT r... | |
| Minimax Preamp vs........the world? Robbob, can you give us an update on the Metis? How does it sound? I'd also like to know how noisy it is. It seems to have a reputation: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1208489647 | |

| Need help deciding which power amp to buy. In reviews and shows where Carl has set up this model, I've seen references to deHavilland Aries 845-G: http://www.nolaspeakers.com/reviews/6moons.com/HE2003_wrapup.htmlahh... but they're more than 5k and not balanced... never mind. | |
| EAR 834p no mod vs Jolida jd9 level 2 mod I'm interested in how these compare as well, but we may not find anyone who has heard both. The Jolida with mods isn't nearly as common as the 834P. | |
| Rega P25-best upgrade Winoguy17, you may have been kidding, but I feel the need to stick up for Audiofeil. Dealers often get a bad rap, but there's nothing wrong with selling equipment you believe in. He also contributes a great deal to the forums. If you look through ... |
