| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy Bobheinatz, I have bought two "modern" systems in the past few years: a Quicksilver Line/Phono/Mini Mites and a Primaluna ProLogue Three/Sevens. Both have on/off switches, input selector, and volume knob. No remotes. Manufacturers can keep their f... | |
| What`s your fave Audiophile Chill Out recording? If you are set up for vinyl, Arthur Lyman: Taboo on HiFi Records. You need the original 1958 stereo pressing, still easy to find anytime for $5. His style (vibes) is masterful but very restrained, and he recorded in the hemispherical aluminum Kais... | |
| Budget Turntable For Low Output Moving Coil ??? The used Rega P3 is your minimum. I went that route with a DL-103. From there, you can incrementally upgrade when/if needed with your first objective a Groovetracer subplatter. A P3-24 or P5, both of which can use the TT-PSU power supply, are even... | |
| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy Bobheinatz,1. Your '70's system was simpler, and life was simpler. This generally kept us happier.2. I play CDs, but I listen to LPs. I don't need to debate which sounds better or has more potential. To listen to an LP, I need to maintain it, I ne... | |
| Tell me about "tubey" tubes. Tonyjack, I will return to this thread when I run the Snells with KT88s in the minis.I really respect Kevin Voecks designs, especially the B and B Minor. I had not originally intended the ProLogue system for the 1.6QRs as I bought a Vincent SP331 ... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Fatgh0st: I mean, to the point where I'm thinking about going exclusive analog in my main rig and leaving digital for the "convenience" listening elsewhere.YES! YES! | |
| Tell me about "tubey" tubes. Tonyjack, I do indeed plan to run the Snells with the Quicksilver setup, especially when my wife complains about the Angeluses (Angeli?) in the living room. She doesn't mind showing them to people when they are in the basement, but prefers stand-m... | |
| Tell me about "tubey" tubes. Thanks all for even more focused advice and literary allegory. Yogiboy, I don't mind less gain as the Druids and Chorus IIs are screaming with KT88s by nine o'clock on the attenuator dial...Speaking of KT88s, I also appreciate the advice I have fo... | |
| Tell me about "tubey" tubes. OK! I got some pretty definitive power tube advice, then some input opinions. I had visited Joe's post years ago when all I knew about tubes was sticking them in my Fender guitar amps and running them hot. Thanks for the link-- Wasn't Kurt Tank a ... | |
| Tell me about "tubey" tubes. Thorman/Hifihvn: This may have been all too easy. My passive websurfing has also suggested the SED EL34. Every datapoint helps, however, so I don't mind being advised the same repeatedly.Buconero117, I sure hope that they are capable of it. Some r... | |
| My Turntable Collection..... Lewm, I have tried it, but secondarily-- One KD650 that I bought for $65 already had its platter shielded. It also had an IEC socket and cord, and an Audio Fidelity FR1mk3F mounted with the stylus snapped off, which I had re-tipped by Peter at Sou... | |
| Classic JBLs with Aquaplas surrounds... Xie, correct regarding surround material-- I also bought a pair of L166 had had the 12" surrounds replaced with OEM.However, the white surrounds and black, untreated paper cones are no longer available, but are now replaced with equivalents includ... | |
| Classic JBLs with Aquaplas surrounds... Thanks all, yes, I tend to trust the tech who did these, and intend to use the two pairs as a quartet, and love them, so I should probably stay on-plan.Xiekitchen, thanks for the clarification-- I had been advised by a third party as to what "Aqua... | |
| Seeking comments from ProLogue 3-5-6-7 owners... Thanks to all. Newbee, yes, impedance matching and the apparent synergy of the pre/amp is why I'm fairly set on the matched combo regarding ProLogue and not currently planning on using one or the other separately. However, Rar1's success with a SS... | |
