| Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact? Thanks Jtran.I currently run four Hytrons and a pair of Cryo'd gold pin EH. But you now have me considering buying a quad of the Sophias and Psvanes and trying various combos. This could be fun!! How would you characterize the difference between t... | |
| Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact? Thanks for all the good info everyone.Kiwi_1282001:I've taken the BT's off my list. ThanksRight now I am using CBS Hytron 5692's which I feel do have an enjoyably deep soundstage. But the bug in my ear keeps telling me that there must be an even b... | |
| Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact? Has2be/Kgturner,Thanks for the idea. I'll see if I can get some dimensional info on the octal savers, then decideRaquel,NOS options are in my auditioning plans. Just heard such good things about the Black Treasure that they made the first cut of m... | |
| Acoustic Zen Satori VS Analysis Plus Oval 9 Tom,I have both balanced and rca PS audio transcendence, Belkin PureAV (don't laugh - they sound great) and AZ Wow and Matrix Reference II rca's.The Oval 9 bass is about on par with the Satori but fatter and not as clean. In my system the Satori i... | |
| Acoustic Zen Satori VS Analysis Plus Oval 9 Tom,I've had my Adagios for almost 2 years and have used the Oval 9s for most of that time with very pleasing results. The bass is very well presented while being quite tight. They are excellent cables in their price range.However, over the past y... | |
| Dodd preamp vs. McCormack RLD-1 preamp Mrjstark,Thanks for providing your take on the RWA Isabella versus the Dodd. I added the RWA 30.2 integrated to my system back in May and have been very pleased with it. I have been contemplating adding the Dodd or RWA preamp also and am most inte... | |
| Tube Amp for Acoustic Zen Adagio Achakh,I am using a PrimaLuna Prologue Two with my Adagios. It sounded pretty good with the stock tubes. But after replacing the power tubes with SED Winged C 6550s and the input tubes with Philips Holland Pope 12AX7s, it sounds fantastic. The tub... | |
| How to clean Stubborn Records Oregon,Very interesting observation. What magnification did it take to see the detail you described. Thanks.Regards,John | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? jwglista,Distilled water is pure water - the best available. R/O water is no better than distilled water and may be worse if the filters are "worn" or if bacteria is present (which it may not remove).Regards,John | |
| How to clean Stubborn Records It would be helpful if it were possible to visually inspect the groves before and after cleaning. Has anyone tried something like a 10x or 25x Radio Shack pocket microscope (or another type) and would that even be enough magnification to see anyth... | |
| Zen Adagios...outriggers? Whatjd:I have the outriggers on my Adagios (They were the ones Response34 said were for sale on Agon). They definitely provide the stability I was looking for. Whether they have any impact on the sound is a personal matter - maybe they sound a bit... | |
| Balanced tube preamp for Class D amps Guido - is the Capri a SMPS or SS? Look forward to your assessment.Jim - thanks for the info. One constraint in my search is that my small room can't tolerate much heat in the summer (rarely listen to my tube integrated then). How much heat do the... | |
| NuForce vs Red Wine Kck,I share your pain in parting with components. My TVC really does sound liquid and dynamic to me with my NuForce amps. My Placette has great tonality and transparency - I just like it. I hate to part with either. But I now just have to hear a t... | |
| NuForce vs Red Wine Tvad,I wonder why that is so?. I have used several SS preamps with my NuForce amps, but none have come close (IMHO) to the smooth and detailed sound of the passives. In my system they present the dynamics of the recording as well as the actives. T... | |
| NuForce vs Red Wine Vicdamone,I asked my question to solicit multiple opinions on the differences between the two amps, independent of system, fully aware that component synergy does make a difference. I did not list my system only because I thought it unlikely that ... |
