| Which amps have 2 sets binding posts per channel My Cary 500MB monoblocks have two sets of WBT posts per channel. | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 Hi Mark,I purchased almost everything from Carl (which may no longer be an option), including new Circe alnico woofers and tweeters, Carl's internal wiring, and Carl's outboard crossovers that used upgraded capacitors from what was in the Circe. O... | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 I tried for years to get the V MkII's to sing with a variety of components. I actually upgraded those speakers to above the Circe level with all new Alon alnico drivers, internal wiring, and a pair of Carl's outboard crossovers that according to C... | |

| Has anyone tried modifying a CX-7e? Nrenter, a couple of thoughts; I owned the CX-7e and thought it was quite good, but ultimately a little lacking in richness and dimensionality compared to my current Lector CDP 7TL MkIII, which is maybe just a shade behind the CX-7e in resolution.... | |
| Has anyone tried modifying a CX-7e? Nrenter, the quote from Charles came from a thread I posted at Audio Asylum regarding differences between CX-7e and the C-5xe. As the manufacturer, Charles would probably (and understandably) not be inclined to endorse modifications. I was hoping ... | |
| Why Can't Tubes Be Mass-Produced Cheaply? I just worked with one dealer who will not sell anything other than new Electro Harmonix tubes for use in a few preamps that are "demanding" of 6922 tubes placed in critical positions where low noise and reliability are important, along with at le... | |
| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? To Pubul57, I believe that the plate direct output is the default setting, and according to Jud it is the most direct and best sounding. However, the output impedance from the plate direct is 1,200 ohms, which could be too high for amps with low i... | |
| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? Hi Jamnesta, I have had the LA150 MkII up and running for about 5 days now. The only thing I can think of is the preamp simply needed a bit of warm-up to sound its best. The bass is killer, just as described by HP in TAS. I am running from the pla... | |
| Jeff Healey Rest In Peace Aw shit. A terrible disease. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. I saw him play once, but can't remember who with, I do remember it was a great show. I really enjoy his music. | |
| Used SS preamp between $1000-$2000 to work with Ay The 3X has a higher quality attenuator, which is so expensive they had to discontinue the unit, and plus you get a separate power supply. The K5XE is newer technology. I was not overly impressed with the K5XE when I owned one, although it was ok f... | |
| Bluenote Reliability Have to disagree about the Italian stuff, at least from my experience. I have owned three Lector CDP 7TL's and the Zoe, and all have operated flawlessly. I also owned the Stibbert and, regardless of what HP says, I like my CDP 7TL MkIII better, an... | |
| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? To update this thread, I have purchased the Joule Electra LA150 MkII and I am currently giving that a run in my system. My unit is an upgraded MkI, and Jud Barber says there is no difference between that and an original MkII. My first impression i... | |
