| rocket 88 @guitarlenn55 I’ve bi-wired with Audioquest in a number of ways. Of course, they will tell you to bi--wire as symmetrically as possible. However, I’ve had good success with breaking the rules, somewhat. I use a combination of 6ft Mont Blanc (12 ... | |
| Step Up transformer Of morbid curiosity, a step down transformer will work and in theory give you more output when feeding transimpedance stages. Want to try a 40Ω denon 103 with your current stage? Run it into a 4:1 step down transformer and you net 4X the curren... | |
| HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO? Sometimes it feels like half the people in this hobby are also involved in the industry, in some capacity. Anyways, I don't see a problem if he's a dealer for his cables. That was not the focus of this thread. | |
| HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO? Yes. Tannoy Canterbury GR with VAC Master 300iQ monos and matching Master preamp. The Master amps effected a vast performance increase over other amps. Nothing I’ve ever heard has made so much difference as those amps. The system now matches or ex... | |
| MoFi lawsuit Were any of you unhappy with the sound of your MoFi product before you learned "the truth". I wasn’t impressed with my Bob Dylan One Step - made it through half a side and put it away; never have listened again. Given the hype I was expecting t... | |
| Step Up transformer This is just my personal preference, but if I find that the sound from a good LOMC is too rich or too lean or whatever, to the point that I can’t tolerate it, my course of action would be to change either the cartridge or the phono, rather then t... | |
| Step Up transformer Your Cadenza Bronze is one of those cartridges which works extremely well with either an active MC gain stage or a SUT (I’ve tried both with this cart). You can really go either way depending on preference. If you’re looking for a huge change or i... | |
| REF5SE tubes Does Brent Jesse even sell any 6H30 tubes? They’re not listed anywhere on his site, even the "complete stock list". I would never have picked him as a source for these tubes. He’s good for a NOS GE 6550 on the power regulator, though. Viva Tubes ... | |
| Einstein The Perfect Match phono pre and My Sonic Labs cartridge +1 thanks @lewm very interesting! | |
| Einstein The Perfect Match phono pre and My Sonic Labs cartridge @lewm I’m just curious how that works - doesn’t a "transimpedance" stage’s effective gain rise as the source’s (cartridge coils) DC resistance lowers? So for an MSL with super low < 1 ohm coils and high 0.3 - 0.5mV output (usually typical of 5 ... | |
| Is Van den Hul Frog Gold a good choice for my rig? I have a new-ish Frog Gold and it’s awesome. I’ll warn you it was very mediocre until I got some burn-in time, and also adjusted VTF a little higher than recommended (1.6g). I’m not used to so much burn-in dependence, so this took me by surprise. ... | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? Ok some more sleuthing around and I found this: https://www.koetsusea.com/The-Wood-Series.php I`m inclined to believe that it`s a Standard according to the pictures. @scm You should have your friend contact / email Koetsu S.E. Asia (Mel) dir... | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? @mulveling....Nice catch on noticing the lack of the 'bump out' at the base of the cantilever shown in the picture 👍. I let him know and told him to double check that he will be getting a Signature not a Standard Rosewood. @scm They might hav... | |
| Herron Audio...Still in business His website domain was allowed to expire. By all accounts, he can still be contacted directly. I have no concerns about the longevity of his phono stage, either way. If I had an aging SS power amplifier with OOP transistors (quite common), that wo... | |
| Audio Research Financial Troubles Possibly, but at least some of us are business people with a lifetime of experience analyzing business financial situations including receiverships, so it's second nature. No trust fund babies here. @jetter The financial geniuses in these for... |
