| Art Loudspeakers, upgraded Crossover components Audio Note is one that offers upgrades, but they are not that extreme with the pricing. I do know that Audio Note and The Ramsey Brothers (formely of Systemdek fame) have a good relationship.) The Emotion does look silimlar to one of Audio Notes o... | |
| VTL compact 80 amps and 5881 tube vs EL34 tube Hello. The first thing:the DQ10's need power. Eighty watts may or may not be enough depending on your room size. EL34 vs 5881's well power is the difference here but I always think the EL34 has the best midrange I have heard. That is a matter of o... | |
| Has any one tried the Van Alstine st-70 input mod This won't address bandwidth limiting but IMO the VanAlstine input board will be a huge improvement over the stock ST70. But there are some other things that you may want to do. For instance the Full VanAlstine mod. The power transformer should be... | |
| Dynaco ST-70 totally restored vs Dynaco ST-70 Kit IMO: Some of the ST70's I have seen here are beautiful. But... They still have the same circuit as the original amp. I would prefer a new input board with all new tubes that are different from the vintage 7199. The 7199 was a good tube 40 years ag... | |
| Dynaco A-25's and a sub-woofer? The Dynaco A25's are nice speakers but they are over 30 years old. There are many speakers today that will better it's sound. I have a pair of A50s and I use them occasionally for parties, etc. About 15 years ago I used them for my main system but... | |
| How much difference in sound? Gary, that is a very hard question. Some people hear big differences and some don't. Some want that dry,edgy and bright, and forward sound and some prefer it to be laid back but I want neutral. Some want detail and some want less. Your speaker wir... | |
| This may be a silly question but... It's funny you should bring that subject up but a friend and I tried some Vampire Wire 10 gauge hook up wire and we both canned our expensive speaker wire. This is the Continious Cast Copper wire that comes in two colors black and red. Michael Per... | |
| What amp are with ET LFTVIII 8B There are several amps out there that should be to your liking and have great drive also. Odyssey Audio Stratos 150 watts per channel and it sounds great also. You should also check out the NYAL Moscode 300 or 600 amps. The 600 would be my first c... | |
| Amp for Soliloquy 5.3i floor standing speaker? The Soliloquy 5.3's do not like tubes in the power department. The preamp department will be fine with tubes but you have to have an amp that can control the woofers or bass. I read so many opinions of them sounding good with tubes. Not so! They w... | |
| help with system synergy I agree with the other responses but when you get good system synergy you will know it! Everything will flow smoothly and effortlessly or shall I say snap into focus. Something as simple as an interconnect can make your system oh so right! Having ... | |
| Preamp, Sub, and Magnepan connect Is it possible to have very good technician put a 2nd set of pre outs on your preamp? That would make things less complicated for you. It is a simple process.other than drilling the holes and soldering a new set of jacks. You will have one set for... | |
| PLEASE HELP ME. NEED ADVICE Hi I would try the cheater plug which you can get from a Dollar Store 2 for $1. If that does not work I would tighten down the transformers on the chassis and place someneat dampening blocks under it. Check your polarity to make sure it's correct.... | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and 6ohm speakers Hi, It is true that a ST 70 will drive Magnepans. I used my modified ST 70 to drive a pair of MG12's. It did a pretty good job driving them but I wanted more bass control and I ended up with a Moscode 300 hybrid amp mainly because I wanted tighter... | |

| IMHO, not enough gain in my Phono stage It sounds to me that you are using a passive linestage or a linestage with no gain or very little gain. I have a Rotel phono stage and when I used it with a linestage with no gain I experienced the same problem. My preamp is a VanAlstine Super PAS... |
