| component problems driving me from the hobby? Sounds like DC got to your pre. Have your pre AND your CD player checked out. Depending on their design( you don't mention mfr.) capacitors or servos may have failed.I doubt it is ac line related if you live in a metropoliton area. Although, it ma... | |
| Replace my Berning ZH-270? I would agree with Oneprof that your prerequisites sound exactly like what the Berning does best. I've never heard the big CAT amp but, for the price, I would expect it to do very well. I have had the M60 atma amps and heard the MA1's and VTL 450'... | |
| Tonearm cables for suspended TT Hovland Groove 2 is very pliable on my Oracle MK V | |
| What are the treasures in your vinyl library? Wow,I thought I was the only one that appreciated Laurie Anderson's Mr. Heartbreak. We used to play it 20 years ago amongst a group of friends while "testing" our systems. Gravity's Angel and Sharkey's day are favourites. Peter Gabriel's backgroun... | |
| I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners I've had my Topaz 211c for just over a year. Its taken this long to fully appreciate it. I have listened to the Berning zh270 I have along with some restored classics on hand: Citation II,Futterman, Marantz 8b,5's,quad II and more. Each of these h... | |
| Is Quad ESL57 most amazing speaker of all time? I'll chime in here. I have a couple of pairs of ESL 57s and a pair of USA monitors. The 63 does not even come close to the transparency of the 57. The 63 is easier to place for a forgiving centre image, plays louder and deeper so might be a more s... | |
| Aesthetix IO Sig V 2nd power supply & Lamm LP2 del Hi,I have an IO Sig with 2 supplies & volume controls. Its just over 2yrs old so the Mills resistor issue is not a concen with my unit.I run a Koestu RSP which is .2mV and noise, with careful NOS tube selection, has not been an issue in my set... | |
| MC TRANSFORMERS VS TUBE PRE PRE Mpearson,You hit it with the jump factor comment. IMO you just can't get this with transformers. I've not tried the Kondo or ultra expemsive Audio Note... but have tried the moderately priced AN ,EAR,jensen and some highly touted microphone transf... | |
| MC TRANSFORMERS VS TUBE PRE PRE Hi, I used the classic combo of an ARC SP-8 and Counterpoint SA-2 for almost 20yrs.Both my mint SA-2 and SP-8 are sitting on the shelf gathering dust. They are great pieces that hold their own today, if a bit noisy...the noise can be managed thoug... | |
| Ok....Audiogoners: need some tube amp ideas Wow, the internet is a strange place. I was queried the other day on comments I posted a year ago and low and behold did not remember what I said. I assure you I have had the atma amps as I described in my system. I decided to go with the Berning ... | |
| Best Koetsu for SME V Hi,I use a Rosewood Signature Platinum on an SME V and a Oracle V. There's a big difference in frequency extension ,especially in the upper end detail with the low output Koetsu. I came away from a Helikon and Benz Ruby 2 and the harmonic "rightne... | |
| Berning ZH-270 I feed my Aesthetix Io with volume controls right into the ZH 270 and it works just fine.Berning's new equipment including the preamp will be more of a statement product with far more robust power supplies, better parts and heavier chassis. The ZH... | |
| I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners Hi,I drive the Topaz with the Io sig +2VC + 2 supplies.I use a .2mV Koestsu RSP .. I get 100 db peaks with ESL 57sand USA monitors...plenty loud for me. I'm no where near SFbut it sure is a beautiful city! | |
| I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners Well if you ever add an Opal to the Io let me know what you think. The Io can swing a mean sine wave so I don't think lack of input sensitivity of any modern amp will be affected by the abiltiy of the Io's drive. But who knows, this is widely unch... | |
| I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners I've got the latest Topaz. I spent several months earlier this year researching and auditioning before buying the Topaz. I also visted with Roger Hebert and heard it in his system with the Coincidents and Tannoy Churchills.I think he now has the b... |
