| Tube amp on/off: best practice? Samhar, turn the preamp ON first then the amp. When shutting down turn the amp OFF first then the sources and preamp. | |
| Wilson Sasha or the new B&W 800 Diamond I do know what I heard and can buy either speaker or both. IMO anyone that would pay retail for either speaker is foolish. | |
| Wilson Sasha or the new B&W 800 Diamond I heard the B&W Diamond Tweeter speakers and the whole 1 hour speach was on how hot the diamonds were and took 3 days to make and what fantastic tweeters they were, and when the speakers had music played through them it was the lowest bass cel... | |
| Mint Protractor It will do everything needed. It is turntable AND tonearm specific so you need to let YIP know what you have. I have a Linn Sondek 12 with a Linn Ittok II tonearm and since all Linn tonearms are the same effective length I can still use it if I go... | |
| better tonearm? What arm and cart are you using now? I replaced a Nagaoka MP 11 with a Linn K9, then K18 II, then I went to an Ittok II arm w/ a Dynavector 10x5 (use extreme caution with them, because the catilevers bend extremely easily. I ruined 2 and will neve... | |
| Best match for Cary SLP98 Preamp I traded in my V12R that sounded great with the SLP98P and yes the 50-100 watts is plenty, but the Cary CAD 120's sounds much better and has a little more power. The only drawback is that you can not fry a hamburger on it like you can the V12R. Th... | |
| Amp for the Wilson Sophia3s I heard a pair using Ayre but not sure of the model. You should have lots of choices for amps (TUBE). I love the sound and wish I had a pair. Good luck. | |
| Best match for Cary SLP98 Preamp Just get the Cary CAD 120s. Mine works fine with the 98P. | |
| Can anyone tell me how my amp compares? If it sounds good why waste your money? Listen to some other amps, then make a decesion. It will also depend on the other components and speakers you are using. Take you time and try to audition some other items first. Good luck. | |
| Speaker Wire Recommendations? Mike Morrow. I have SP3's now biwired. 300 or more hours to burn in or he can cook them for you. Amazing how thin and light the wires are but they perform very nicely. Good luck. | |
| semiautomatic or automatic to support a Dynavector Mine is connected to a Linn Sondek 12 TT with an Ittok LV II tonearm. TT is not automatic though. | |
| semiautomatic or automatic to support a Dynavector I have a Linn Sondek 12 TT. I have never had a problem mounting a Naganoka MP 11 ot a Linn K9 or K18. I have had 2 Dynavector 10x5 carts. They are garbage and the Cantilevers are very poor quality and bend very easily. I do not wish you bad luck a... | |
| Klipsch Chorus or Cornwall II All Klipsch speakers sound different. I had a Mac 7270 and have owned Chorus, Herseys, Forte, K4. I still have my favorite Quartets that I no longer use. Mac and Klipsch is a good marriage. Listen to the Stones on headphones. They're great in the ... | |
| Best Subwoofer you've ever heard??? No sub. | |
| Linn Katan to Compliment Linn Ninka's I'm wondering the exact opposite. I have Katans with all Linn sources and a Cary tube amp and tube preamp. They sound great in a 14 x 12 x 8' room and I was going to get the Ninkas as an upgrade. It's hard to find a place to hear an a-b comparisio... |
