| linn lp 12 parts Don't know your location and/or if you have original box/packing? I highly recommend Tom at Overture Audio in Ann Arbor, MI. He overhauled 88' vintage LP12 in March/April this year. Sounds brand new!! I am sure he could even acquire box/ packing f... | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? minorl, Couldn't agree with you more. I believe HP said, If you haven't heard it; You don't have a valid opinion. Go out and try equipment at your price point, both tube and solid state. I stayed locked into (1) system for years, and enjoyed it. ... | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? I have been a Spectral guy for 20yrs but am now parting ways. Spent time with new Spectral 30SV. Was "magical" for (1) week and then nothing but problems. I have owned a Manley Steelhead since '07 and it sounded good but used my Pass Xono more. Sp... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Just found this thread. Have had my Steelhead since '07. But just hearing how great it really is! Always had to run it through My Spectral preamp to drive Spectral amps. Am now letting go of Spectral. Using Steelhead to drive a pair of Forte' mode... | |
| Anyone tried the Lyra Kleos in a Linn EKOS SE? To All, I have 1988 vintage LP12. Took it to Tom at Ovature Audio in Ann Arbor, MI. He installed Trampoline II, updated phono cable and new Kleos and did His total tune up. He is a firm Linn guy. My LP12 sounds as if it were New! I considered a Ra... | |
| Dyna XX-2 MKII vs. Lyra Kleos I currently use the Dyna XX2 Mk II on my Kuzma Stabi w/ 12" ref arm and Kleos on my Linn LP 12 w/ Ekos arm. Dyna is very layered and smooth. Kleos is detailed and dynamic, great bass. I am happy with both; They provide the just right change of pac... | |
| Lyra Kleos Repair I have not read through entire thread yet. Kleos is my third Lyra; best yet! My understanding is that Lyra does not rebuild ; Lyra gives you the best trade in and sends you a NEW Kleos.I have surfed this thread. My answer is: Take Care around expe... | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? All of you at Agon are great that you stepped in to help. All I can add is that the Kleos I bought in March /April is great (my third Lyra; must like the Lyra Sound) I feed the Kleos to my Manley Steelhead (dead quiet) then through my Spectral/ MI... | |
| The next step to a better system I am in total agreement with those who have recommended Room Treatment and speaker placement. ATS Acoustics, GIK, great sites. ASC and RPG more expensive. You CAN make your ( maybe not stratospheric costing system sound like it is with/ speaker pl... | |
| What spinning on your turntable today and how does it sound? oleschool, Totally agree Steely Dan Gaucho MCA | |
| Equipment rack behind speakers: bad? I am with the long ICs preamp to amp school w/ short speaker cables. Especially if you have a TT. My best of Axpona this year had all CAT tubes w/ tech das III TT between the speakers. JV / TAS gave it a small critique.Given room/ show conditions ... | |
| Thiel Owners I used a pair of Forte model 7 monos to drive the Thiel 3.5s (75w - pure class A ( Still have them; wonderful sounding amps.) Then switched to a pair of Spectral DMA 90s run as bridged monos (200w)Had more than a few conversations with Kathy; afte... | |
| Thiel Owners This thread has been great. I have always missed my 3.5s. I blew Many tweeter and midrange drivers. That's why I sold them. Has anyone else had this problem? I wonder if the new owners will be able to provide matching drivers to original specs for... | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear Even though I Voted #1 with my wallet for Spectral 30SV recently. #2 would be CAT heard at Axpona in April | |
| Thiel Owners Final note why I was sad to part w/ 3.5s.Had midrange " to die for " |
