| Cartridge, Preamp advice: Bottlehead Seduction? Rebbi,It's a pretty basic and straightforward build. These do come up from time to time on Audiogon and would already be built. You can always mod them after the fact. The Bottlehead website has alot of info. | |
| Cartridge, Preamp advice: Bottlehead Seduction? I LOVE my Seduction! Probably one of my favorites pieces of gear that I have ever bought. You will be limited to a "higher" output MM cartridge. I tried about 5 or 6 different cartridges and finally settled on the Linn Adikt. Make sure you swap ou... | |

| What amps for Maggies? Sanders Sound Systems new ESL amplifier. | |
| Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money? One of the best upgrades I did on my Rega P25 was the Heed Orbit outboard power supply. I have a FULL BLOWN (every urgrade you can do) P25 and the power supply upgrade was probably the best "bang for buck". | |

| Spilled marinara sauce on wood speaker.... I nearly had this happen to me once. I don't let my speakers eat at the dinner table anymore :-) | |
| Directional interconnect cables I totally agree with Narrod. This is the correct orientation of directional cables. | |
| VPI HW 16 Broken Dustcover. What to do? Drvan,The 16.5 upgrade does indeed bypass the lid. The lid, after the upgrade is done, just becomes a "dust cover". It's a pretty simple upgrade kit to perform and VPI does still have them.http://www.vpiindustries.com/prices.htmScroll down towards... | |
| VPI HW 16 Broken Dustcover. What to do? I think that VPI still sells a 16 to 16.5 upgrade kit? That's what I did with my original HW16. It works way better than the standard 16. Check with VPI... | |
| Tube Pre-Amp: Audio Research or McIntosh Theo...like this should come as a surprise to you, but I would go with Audio Research. If you can afford it, buy the LS26 over the LS17. A Ref3 would be SWEET!!! | |
| 'they blew'em off the stage' A oouple of years ago, Joss Stone opened for the John Mayer Trio and was SO MUCH BETTER, that even John Mayer stated that "they should have opened for her." This was at the Fillmore in Denver. | |
| Tube Rolling A Pro-Ject Tube Box SE 5751s will work, but you'll get about a 30% reduction in output. Probably will depend on what cartridge you are running. I'd had some 5751s sound much better than their 12AX7 counterparts, but in different gear. | |
| Returning to REO's "Hi-Infidelity"..... I LOVE REO! I got to see them live last summer at Fiddler's Green in Denver and they can still ROCK. It was an excellent show. Styx wasn't too bad either. | |
| Classe DR-15 amplifier compared to Classe Dr-9 Majicjazz...according to the brochure in my hand , the DR-8 and DR-9 WERE Class A amps up to about half their output,(70 and 90 watts), respectively then switched to Class A/B. Sorry for the confusion. |
