Upgrading my SET amplifiers?
Hi Don:I am glad you are enjoying the Magnepan. Answering your question, yes, I use a REL Stadium II and, to me ears, the integration is great.Faugusta:I have to try the Korneff, for sure. Right now I got a very good opportunity to buy a highly mo... 
Upgrading my SET amplifiers?
I listen to vinyl and Cds, half and a half. The vinyl sounds better, but there are a lot of material that is not longer released on vinyl. I mostly listen to jazz (hard bop). My vinyl rig is Linn Sondek/Linn Ekos/Goldring Elite. My Cd player is an... 
Upgrading my SET amplifiers?
Howard:Thank you for your answer. I know (because I’ve read some of your threads) that you are a Wright Sound fan. I enjoy the amps immensely as well. My policy is not to sell my previous gear before, in my listening room and after a couple of mon... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Hi:I am also interested in a pair of 6F6s. Also, I have noticed that your are selling your Syrah. Any other tube you are looking to sell as well (6SN7s, 5AR4s)? I have a Chenin. Thank you very much for your time. Pablo. 
What happened to Loth-X?
I second TWL. I have had electrostatics and very decent multi-drivers speakers (Silverline), but nothing compares with the coherence of the Lowthers. Pablo. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
A little anecdote to back up Cello’s point about Mick’s caring and honesty. Mick agreed with my decision to buy a Denon 103R to replace my MM cartridge in order to use the phono section of the Chenin. The Denon didn’t fit my Linn Ekos. Mick bou... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
It took me only five minutes to follow the advice of TWL on buying a Chenin, but more than a month to read this wonderful thread! Thank you very much Slowhand, Ecclectique, Amandarae, Bwhite, Jpms, Cello, Streven1960, Jazzdude, Tubegroover, Asa, F... 
Has anybody tried a Shelter 501/Linn Ekos comb.
Well, bad news for those who were following the thread: the Shelter 501 doesn't work with the Ekos either! It seems that the geometry of the cantilever doesn't allow a correct ajustment of the VTA (or something like that ... beyond my technical ex... 
Has anybody tried a Shelter 501/Linn Ekos comb.
Keith, thank you for the info about the Ittok. I didn't know that.I will try the Shelter 501 in the Ekos. I hope I don't have the same problem! Pablo. 
Has anybody tried a Shelter 501/Linn Ekos comb.
Thank you Restock. I'll transmit the info to the Linn dealer. Pablo. 
Has anybody tried a Shelter 501/Linn Ekos comb.
Jfrech, thank you very much for your answer. At least now I have a theory! Being a social scientist I feel much better than yesterday ... Seriously, thanks a lot: what you are describing is exactly what the Linn dealer described to me few days ago... 
Has anybody tried a Shelter 501/Linn Ekos comb.
Restock, thank you for your rapid answer. According to the Linn dealer the body of the Denon is larger than other cartridges. It seems that he cannot affix the cartdridge to the headshell for that reason. My guess is that the Shelter has an averag... 
HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
Chichiuno, that's a very generous offer! But still, what will happen with the other 9 grey market players that are still around? Who will service them if something goes wrong with them? And I am not talking about upgrading, but only servicing (for... 
HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
It seems that Electrocompaniet’s “grey market” problem is bigger than I thought initially, when I first starting reading the thread. My humble opinion is that, somehow, the U.S. distributor has to help the customers who, without knowing they were ... 
Any comparison between Audes/Gershman/Triangle?
Thank you very much to both, Chazzbo and Tracer. I also had the Maggies in my second tier, but I am now in the mood of moving away from planars. I really enjoyed the Aerius for five years, but when I replaced them with Silverline Sonatas in my mai...
