| Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers? FWIW .. Before plugging in a higher output example of the 6550, PLEASE insure the amplifier design will handle the higher load.Contact the designer of the amp and ask them if there may be a problem. Without question, it WILL be a tearful experi... | |
| Anyone heard the Aronov LS9100 monoblocks? Back from the dead(!) Oh yea.. these are great amps but most likely more locomotive than you need to pull your little train. With a little work they can be cleaned up and will sound as good as what's next on your list as long as they are compare... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? SFCD-1 | |
| Silly turntable question If you are at the point of having something (anything) to enjoy vinyl..plug in and go from there. Dream as you go, the old saying "a bird in hand is worth two in the bush" comes to mind. The best thing about vinyl is the listening.. on anything. | |
| Why not horns? 901s are ok but, comparing (901s) to a horn system is weak.In the Hi-Fi game, I doubt 90% of the community have seen (or much less heard) a "Horn" system. I say this from the prospective of observing reactions from those coming through my door.Big... | |
| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge The 103R Cartridges have always been a winner. This cartridge continues be be the lowest cost serious player available. I say this with the confidence of having worn out several. As for value, nothing comes close for the investment, you would have... | |
| Best stereo recievers of the 1970's? Pioneer SX1250...If you have never had the joy of a face to face with one of these MONSTERS, I'd suggest that you now have something to do. Until you have, consider yourself a non-player in the audio hobby. "dare ya to listen to one" | |
| Garrard 301 & Thorens TD 124 voltage I (on occasion) have noted some of the belt sellers are supplying units with too large a diameter (belt), which will cause adjusting the platter speed to not be possible. Typically, platter speed that has been adjusted to its slowest possible sett... | |
| Review: Sonic Frontiers SFCD-1 CD Player Transport problems aside, I have been enjoying my SFCD 1SE for a few years and only been (more) pleased as time passes. A minor board problem popped up recently and was repaired locally without having to deal with shipping. Friends bring there new... | |
| What do folks use to clean cables/connections? Grain Alcohol (if it's good enough for NASA, it works for me) and Detoxit. Don't drink the Detoxit please, | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and Power Condtioners Would having a bad "soft start" relay be a cause? Replace them and see what happens especially if they are showing signs of excessive resistance at startup. I use a big Powervar and turn one piece of gear on at a time. I have replaced both of the ... | |
| Lamm ML1.1 vs. Aronov ls9100 vs. others Understand Aronov is not in the production side of audio any longer, just repairs. Their support system needs help.I have a pair of JenaLabs modded LS9100s and LOVE them. Besides being big, hot and beautiful, they are most likely my last purchase ... | |
| Review: Sunfire Symphonic Reference Preamplifier UpDate:Something must be wrong, my SRF continues to deliver the goods.No roll/off problems or listening problem(s). I'd suggest returning yourproblem child to have it checked @ SunFire. | |
| Review: Sunfire Symphonic Reference Preamplifier Very good review...I would like to add, the direct feature that bypasses the function controls.This feature is a big plus when you get lucky and find a well produced (ie) CD.Also: this unit is DEAD QUITE and does a fine job with headphones, which ... |
