| Spica TC-50 crossover repair Hi Ponnie,I may have some of the inductors here. Problem is, the value of one of the inductors is dependent on the service code, and I can't find that chart! But we can probably get him close. It would help if I had the service code and a photo of... | |

| Speaker Wire Recommendations? I would look at Kimber 4PR speaker wire. It's good stuff regardless of price. Way better than Monster cable. The other would be Vampire Wire CCC speaker wire. Prices will vary. I'm using the 12ga hook up wire and it is glorious with my Spicas in T... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 or used Totem Forest Gosh, you can't go wrong with either but the Maggies will require more powerful amplification than the Totems. The Spendor are hard to find or to obtain. I've been running an ad in the wanted section and I haven't found a pair yet. That goes to sh... | |
| Acoustic/Classical guitar. Who is your favorite? Andrew Hardin who use to play with Tom Russell and many others. I think the CD is called Blue Acoustics. They even use an String Bass that is so unique.Paco DeluciaPat MethenyThose are the 3 that stand out in my mind right now.There are others. | |
| bananas vs spades as terminals for speaker cables I prefer spades over bananas. But if you are going to use either use good quality jacks for your connections and treat them too with ProGold, etc. My experience with Bananas have been mixed and mostly at the speaker end. My amp will only handle sp... | |
| "Round Midnight", what is your favorite version? I've never heard a bad version of this standard. Just like Makin Whoopee! Never heard a bad version of this standard either. I have many different versions and everyone sounds very cool! | |
| Sub Question It's funny but all the responders are correct in their approach. My approach to solve the problem was to have a pair of passive devices made with a (RCA input and RCA output)plugged into the input of the power amp and my interconnect pluged into t... | |
| One "AWESOME" LP Hey Slaw, You must listen to more of Knopfler's offerings. If you think that is great, listen to Dire Straits On Every Street LP. The CD is great too. But the ease and flow of sound along with a great soundstage and excellent sonics are first rate... | |
| Something Vintage I have nearly all vintage gear. Power amp: Dynaco ST 70 with Sound Valves input board (with solen coupling caps) modified by Tom Tutay of Transition Audio Design. I have owned it over 12 years and I can't part ways with it. I have tried several ne... | |
| How important is ext. adj. for cartridge loading Years ago (25 yrs. ago) when I bought my first really good preamp I had a PS Audio IVH. Remember the resistors you placed a certain value into the sockets to tailor the sound of the cartridge you were using. That was a very useful feature. It was ... | |
| Basic Preamp - suggestions? I would look for a PS Audio 4.5 or 4.6 preamp. It is passive or active has an excellent phono stage that can handle LO moving coils and it's pretty versitale and has an outboard power supply that's twice the weight of the preamp. Even the PS IVH i... | |
| Just got Audible Illusions L1, but it sound harsh Everyone forgot one thing. Turn off your preamp and clean the pins of the tubes. Use an exacto knife and then clean with a contact enhancer or alcohol. Shake dry then re-insert tubes. Turn the unit on and let it sit for about 15 to 30 minutes. Tes... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for Spicas TC-60's? I'm using TC-60's with 2 -Dali Suite 1.2 subs. They are acoustic suspension subs and they are not boomy at all. I had a filter built by Tom Tutay for my TC50's that plug into the input of my amp (Modified ST 70 by Tom Tutay) that rolls the TC 60's... | |
| amp for Usher speakers I heard the Usher 6311's with a Vincent hybrid amp and it was pretty darn good. The one that sells close to $1,000. I'm sure under $1500.00. |
