| Dual volume control - it should be standard Inna, for what ever reason; you're right about that right channel thing. I "always" dial into the center channel, and everything else falls into place. | |
| Please Advise me on Building a System on a Budget You can get an awful lot out of your computer if you know a geek. I don't know squat about computers, but I know a "geek". Although I have a Marantz transport feeding a DTI which goes into a DAC, I hardly ever use them. I use CODEX on the computer... | |
| Dual volume control - it should be standard Rrog, you are about 200% right. It took many years, a lot of reading, and more than a few peso; but the dual volume controls helped. | |
| Dual volume control - it should be standard Dual volume controls are the only way to go. You can dial in the soundstage until it's 3D, and it's like you can reach out and touch the performers. I've never been able to do that with a single balance control | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever Although I like Miles and Coltrane as much as you, "Somethin Else" is still my favorite LP. Do you have it? "Lift to the Scaffold" sounds exactly like someone would expect it to sound, it's about as "dark" as Miles could get. I like it when I'm in... | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever The best jazz recording ever is "Somethin else" by Cannonball Adderly. It features: Cannonball on sax; Miles on trumpet; Art Blakey on drums; Hank Jones on piano; and Sam Jones on bass.Let us contrast this LP with "Kinda Blue" by Miles. Cannonball... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? I always change the electrolytics when I buy used. When they get tired, the music gets tired. | |
| Reel to reel repair - is it worth it? Replace all rubber parts now if you can, they may not be available later on. | |
| An unusual phenomenon verified.As is my custom, I Tpreaves, if this had occurred in the 60's,or 70's, there would be other possible explanations; but I remember what I heard, and since it was gone the next day, it seemed like some sort of "opium dream" that had occurred during the night.I've had ... | |
| Your thoughts on these different tubes?.. I prefer the EL-34 over the KT-88. In regard to the 6922 as opposed to the 12AU7, although they are two entirely different animals; I like them both. My impression of the 6922 is of a very neutral, high definition tube that can create a 3D soundst... | |
| Simple High Quality Tube Preamp for Vinyl Only Sys Since you specified vinyl only, I believe you would do best with a line pre; and select one of the excellent Phono pre's that are available here. That would give you an incredible amount of flexibility. | |
| Primaluna Prologue Two Leersfool, the poweramp's job is to duplicate the signal it's fed from the pre. If you improve the performance of the pre, the amp is supposed to duplicate it. Since power amps are closely related to the speaker, I believe speaker amp synergism ac... | |
| Primaluna Prologue Two The 12AX7's that come with the PrimaLuna are very good; however, I would replace the 12AU7's with NOS RCA black top or clear top. I recommend Brent Jesse if you don't already have a "tube monger". In my opinion, NOS tube should be bought from "tub... | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp "This is the way I did it" All my parts came from Radio Shack. You can use expensive "audiophile" parts if you desire. First I constructed a small wooden box to house the parts. After I sanded, stained, and shellacked the box; it was quite attract... | |
