| Preamp for atma sphere m60 Don't rule out the Atma-Sphere MP-3. With the regulator and V-Cap options it's very nice. | |
| Sony SCD-777es as transport? My Theta Data Universal II was better as a transport than the SCD-777. | |
| Atma-sphere S-30 with Reference 3A? I have the M60 Mk3's paired with the De Capo I's. There's nothing to get in the way of the music. Add an Atma-Sphere pre and you may never want for anything else. (I don't!) | |
| How to remove scratches from lidcover turntable NOVUS makes a scratch polish for acrylic. There are 3 different polishes. One for deep scratches, medium and fine polish. I would try it on a small spot before going over the entire cover. For a deep scratch you may end up having to use all 3 poli... | |
| Preamp Experiences with Atma-sphere Amps I was using an ARC Ref1 with my M60MkIII's. After a discussion with Ralph I decided to try out an MP3. WOW! More transparency, detail, air, better sound stage and better defined bass that left me wondering why I needed a sub? You'll hear things in... | |
| Do you pull A/C plugs during thunder storms? Yes, and disconnect the tuner antenna down leads and extra ground them. | |
| Reducing cd tray noise I covered the CD cut out in the tray with black felt. Totally stopped the open and close CD rattle. I have quite a bit left over. E-mail me directly if you are interested in a piece. | |
| The most important word of advise? The room first, though you can only work with what you've got to work with. Next, speakers that will work in your room. Finally an amp the will bring out the best in your speakers. | |
| new 6h23 tubes vs nos telefunken or mullard 6022's NOS are nice, but finding good, low noise, matched, linear, reasonably priced NOS can be an exhausting challenge that often ends in disappointment. There just is not enough NOS supply to screen and weed out the "boutique junk". The current manufac... | |
| Balanced Cables If I remember correctly, the balanced input of the LS15 is the "direct in" input. This input always sounded best when I used an LS15. You definitely want to try the balanced inputs and outputs. | |
| Preamps for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers I can't possibly imagine a better pre than an Atma-Sphere MP-1 or MP-3. I just went from a REF1 to an MP3 with my M60MkIII's. The switch was a revelation. You don't mention what options your Atma-Sphere gear has. If you don't have the Teflon coupl... | |
| CLS Transformer Modication 4 Mid/High only I'm not quite sure what you are trying to achieve, or how you are planning to utilize your CLS's, but based on my experience with the CLS/CLS1 I'll give it a try. It sounds like you want to implement a high pass xover to add a sub and play the pan... | |
| Monitor Suggestion - $ 2000 max Reference 3A MM de Capo i's used around $1500. | |
| Source for infrared receiver sensor I checked out the owners manual for your receiver. They suggest a Niles or Xantech receiver and show it plugging directly into your Pioneer. If you have a Plasma TV make certain to buy a Plasma Rated model. For some reason you can have interferenc... | |
| Transparent MIT was at one time the cable of choice with Classe and Thiel. (along with ARC tube pre) I ran an ARC Ref1, Classe CA400, Thiel CS5i set up with MIT 350 Ref and 850 Ref with fantastic results. |
