| Old ARC tube amps Those ARC models are a good choice. I owned the SP-3a and D-76a combo in the 70's and upgraded to the D-150. I was seriously considering the MAC line but with head-to-head the ARC was better hands down. For old times sake I picked up a D-150 and i... | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? One thing that seems to have been lost in this thread is the budget issue. I own a Jolida 302 that cost me $600 with upgraded tubes. It's a nice unit for my office system and I have bought a few for classical music listening friends on a tight bud... | |
| Audiophile quality Mozart??? I assume that you want a complete recording. Whether you consider it audiophile or not the best recording from an audio perspective is SoltiÂs on Decca/London. From a purely audiophile perspective, I think this is as close as you will get. It is ... | |
| Best way to organize 6000 albums? Between CD's and LP's, I'm in the 10,000 plus. I store the media on shelves in another room. It is first divided by type of music. It is alphabetical by artist within type for non classical and by composer and subdivided by performer in classical.... | |
| Digital volume control, WADIA style I use the dCs Elgar direct into my power amps. I also have the Z-Systems digital preamp in front of an MSB Platinum straight in. I also can use a very high quality Vishay resistor shunt to ground stepped attenuator that I put into my poweramps. Wi... | |
| Any high power tube integrteds that do well on roc Dave99. I use a 502A with KT-88 tubes in our master bedroom system. It rocks but the room is smaller than the living room and the speakers have an effeciency of 94 db. | |
| Any high power tube integrteds that do well on roc I would help to know the sensitivity of your speakers. My Dunlavy's are 91 db sensitivity. I use high powered tube monoblocks and play alot of 80's Metal. I would guess that 100 watts of tube power would be the minimum to really rock unless you hv... | |
| Seeking advice re: complex power conditioning I have a call into the local Horlick distributor close by in Silicon Valley. As I have posted on several occasions, I have terrible power quality. I live in the first residential neighborhood to have underground power (1925!) and if there is a pow... | |
| WANT tukans to do the disapearing thing??? I have Tukan's in my office system. I have also tried them in my main system in a very large well treated room with Sigtech DSP room correction. It is hard to make them disappear, especially since there is a certain brightness resulting from a sma... | |
| Seeking advice re: complex power conditioning Most electrical power sources are designed for efficiency NOT; elegance of wave form, low (let alone no noise), and ability to delivery high current at the top of the cycle with no voltage sag. A motor generator combo that meets these specs can be... | |
| Seeking advice re: complex power conditioning I've had a fair amount of experience with motor generators in research science and computers. As Karls states they can't be beat for high demand current at the top of the ac wave form (especially if the setup has a fly wheel). The practical effici... | |
| Where do you sit? To Vdub: I'm 6' 1" and 51 years old. You need a bean bag filled with premium beans and not regrind or shredded foam. I'm also don't figit. | |
| Rock and Roll System Aroc; I use 400 watt Melos Monoblocks with my SC-V's | |
| Anyone using i tunes as a computer based jukebox? I highly recommend the stereo link. I use one in my office driving a Jolida and Linn Tukans. Way better than a sound card. The stereo link was developed by Sigtech. I got one of the first ones because I use the Sigtech DSP in my main system. Check... | |
| Rock and Roll System My room is about 8000 cubic feet. I play a lot of AC/DC Metallica, Iron Maiden, Motorhead etc when not listening to classical. By measurement (not regular listening) my Dunlavy SC-Vs will do about 112-115 db and stay within the 250 watts rating if... |
