| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope Picture nr 3 at the top here:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&1337191142 | |
| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope I have worked more with my first pictures. As you can see, if I could copy them here, they are quite good, but not good enough to measure the SRA at a one degree level. My measures vary between 87 and 98 degrees, based on subjective ideas where to... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes I am away travelling and also have some speaker driver problems (not tube-related) so it will take some time before I can answer these questions. | |
| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope Thank you, JCarr. I will do it when I get the microscope back (may take some time). Very grateful for this help.Let me assure everyone reading this, that I enjoy my Atlas a lot, each day - this is why I have used Lyra cartridges for almost twenty ... | |
| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope Some months ago an audo friend of mine, visiting and listening to my system, adjusted my SME V arm upwards - he felt that the Atlas sounded better that way. It went as far up as possible, 6-8 mm in my case (Hanss T30 player). I thought, well perha... | |
| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope Thank you, JCarr, much appreciated. Ever since I bought my first Lyra, a Clavis, I have adjusted by ear, and your text confirms that this is (still) the main way to go. Happily the microscope wasn't a big investment. Obviously, some find it useful... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes Thanks. Listening some more - the conclusion is the same, I like this. | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes I listened some more. If these 28 RCA tubes hold up there is no doubt, this is what I prefer. I am willing to foresake the strong points of the stock Russia/China tubes. Three main reasons. First, better musical illusion, in the midrange especiall... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Sabai - I agree with most of what you say, but I would not put my Kimber KCAG cables in the "yawn" category, they are more in the "have served me well over the years" category. Mogami - well perhaps, but then again, they are cheap and dont claim t... | |
| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope It would be nice with a comment from J Carr or others of Lyra... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes After 60 hours of preconditioning I could not stand the silence anymore, and decided to give the RCA 6AS7G tube set a try. So I put the MA-1 amps from Standby (yellow) to On (red light). No misbehaviour or arcing so far, having played for three ho... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes Thanks Rushton & Clferrari. I am sure people have tried this before me but there is not much info on the web, since most of the focus has been on the driver tubes. It will be interesting. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Audiokineses LCS Dreammakers - They do something special, have never experienced it before. The soundscape becomes much more three dimensional, embodied, fleshed out, poignant; the sound is almost visually present, and this effect covers most of t... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes Burning in a set of 28 RCA 6AS7Gs right now - following Atma-sphere advice, 72 hours on Standby, before turning the amps On. I hope they work OK, and give the same sonic improvement that I have heard other places, changing from stock Chinese/Russi... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes Hi Acresverde - I have bought a RM-1 tube tester from Beck Electronics in Germany, custom setup so it can test 6AS7G (among others). I have not received it yet, so we shall see, does it do the job. My impression, living with 28 of these tubes for ... |
