| REVIEW: Oppo DV980H It's funny reading all the points of view that I have never used any of the USB functions or anything else. I played with the OSD once and that's it. But I have enjoyed my 980 since it's purchase. We (af friend and I) recently purchased a Playstat... | |
| REVIEW: Oppo DV980H Hi My oppo 980H bested my Pioneer DV563 SACD/DA player. I have been using mine as a transport and I tried to listen to the unit's DACS but My tube DAC simply sounded more solid in the soundstage and more refined. I also tried it on a 32" LCD and a... | |
| Hissing from Speakers/Amp? Nick778 What are your components in your system. It sounds like you have a solid state amp with the Fault light and all? Tell us more of what you have in your system. | |
| Modify tube amp or upgrade to NOS tubes I highly reccomend Jim McShane for sure. I purchase all my tubes from him.If the integrated amp is a piece you like and want to keep and as Mingles said it may add value to your piece of gear and improve the sound I say make the investment. But I ... | |
| Which is for me, floorstanding, or books w subs? Hi guys, the gentleman has already told us what he likes, Klipsch. I would suggest a pair of Hersey's, usually around $325 to $500. The trade off here is the bass may not go as low as the Fortes. Klipsch has several other models too I think in the... | |
| Fuselier Model 9 speakers You are correct. Fat Julian is no longer in business. Of course you know that. I'm trying to get an idea of what the System 9 looks like or what the driver compliment is.I know where a pair is but I don't have a clue about them.Thanks | |
| New Production EL34 / 6CA7 Hello,My Dyna ST 70 has a Sound Valves Board and it was overhauled by Tom Tutay. I have tried every EL 34 that is currently marketed. The best performance was the EH EL 34's in a matched quad configuration. I had been purchasing mine from Triode b... | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Those of you that use Isopropyl you must be careful. Isoproply will harden vinyl. Use Everclear 190 proof grain alcohol. It will not harm your vinyl. I use a combination of Distilled water, Everclear (190 proof grain alcohol) and Dawn original blu... | |
| MMF-7 what cartridge/ best way to remove leads I would go with a Grado Platinum because it is a very musical cartridge period. There is a series of low output Grados with .5mv, 1.5mv and 5 mv output. The Reference models with a 1.5mv output are supposed to be awesome. I didn't like Denon Cartr... | |
| Vincent Amps I heard the Vincent preamp and Power amp at a local audio store. The day he received it it was bright sounding. A week later I heard it on a pair of Usher speakers and I have to admit it caught my ear. I found it to be very interesting and it wasn... | |
| Is this tube sound???? If you want to hear a truly great hybrid amp check out the Pathos. You may get your cake and eat it too. It's more expensive then the Jolida but refined and will drive almost anything out there. There are other very good integrated amps the ONix S... | |
| MMG or Triangle Titus speakers? I agree the MMG. I'm driving my MG12's with a modified Dynaco ST 70. I have also owned the Titus. The Titus is fast and sounds very good but it was more forward sounding in my system than my MG12'2 ever were. I kept the Tituses for about 3 to 4 mo... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico I am a subscriber of Stereophile but to be honest I never read it outside "The Library". I'm sure you know what I mean. Sometimes there are some interesting articles like the Oppo etc. which I purchased one to see what the hoopla was all about. Bu... | |
| best inexpensive tube integrated Visit upscaleaudio.com and look under the demo and used items. Sometimes there are some great deals there on primaluna and others that were acquired in trades, etc. | |
| Old tube amp? The Dynaco ST 70 would be a very good start. But a stock ST 70 or one with stock 7199's won't give you as much detail as boards from Van Alstine, Curcioaudio, Triode, Mapletree (? out of canada)Kennedy, Sound Valves and GSI. You should also have a... |
