| ear preamp It's been quite some time since I visited this thread. Just want to mention a few things. First, I still own the 88PB, and am still enjoying it very much. It of course uses four 7DJ8(PCC88) tubes. Aside from its stock tubes(Ei Yugos), I have tried... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Certainly not the first nor last time regarding differences in views over a component. Seems to be true for an overwhelming number of them on Audiogon. Doubtless, the "meat grinder" will never wear out. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Is it possible that those Raven owners who have not been able to maintain stable platter speed have not correctly used the "STORE" mechanism on the speed control box? Some of the instructions on the sheet of paper that came with my Raven One, givi... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 "...[I] wonder if some of the diverging views have to do with what else is in the system and its overall sonic character?"I certainly wouldn't be surprised. | |
| SME V rewire Viiu...I strongly agree with Gundam(FrankC)above. Though I presently own a different tonearm, the best and most dependable job of rewiring my previously owned SME IV.Vi tonearm was obtained from the SME company experts in Sussex, England. Their se... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Suteetat...I give the speed control switch on my Raven One just a very quick flip up or down as many times as I need to(I've found the push button control of little or no help)while simultaneously checking the rotational speed of the platter with ... | |
| Cardas Golden Reference vs. Triode Wire Labs 10+ I previously owned the GR interconnects and also auditioned simultaneously the GR speaker cable. I agree with Mechans and Soix on both counts. I felt the interconnect contributed to a considerably more musically enjoyable presentation than the spe... | |
| Calling all Dunlavy Gurus I wonder how many SC-4 owners have taken a good look inside and noticed the splayed wire/clips connections to the drivers. Hard to believe, considering all the intelligence and care John Dunlavy put into his very fine product. Would one attach bar... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Pani, with no ill will or bad feelings intended, I don't hear certain things the same way you do with Raven. At least you indicate "...somewhat dark but not overtly." I've read comments from a few others on Agon where the description they have giv... | |
| Which alcohol to use? You might want to try TechSpray. It is 99% pure isopropyl. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Maril...I'd like to make a few points in response to your concern with the "leading edge" issue. I've already indicated I use the Raven One, and like Pani, initally heard what he did. In fact, a short while ago I posted a thread seeking some assis... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Pani's take on the Raven TT : "BUT, to me it had an artificiality/coloration in the flow of music. The notes did not naturally bloom, hold and decay the way we know it should. There is a "rush", a little too much leading edge and not enough time t... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 After purchasing the Raven One/TW Acustic 10.5 combo, having Tom Tutay restore my Air Tight ATM-3 amps while providing iec capability for changing power cords, and also re-discovering some extremely fine power tubes, I've found a level of musical ... | |
| Father of the LP passes: Thanks for pointing out this nice and nostalgic article. It also reminds me of those lps I still own and enjoy that were produced by Howard Scott. | |
