| Gallo Ref III Amps/impressions Well, fortunately, my Tempest integrated has an active pre-out that I hooked up to the Parasound's inputs, using a pair of FMod 50 Hz in-line low pass filters. (See the review on 6Moons website.) My Parasound has level controls on the back, but ri... | |
| Gallo Ref III Amps/impressions I have had the Gallos for several months; and coincidentally, I just recently hooked up an older Parasound amp to the second voice coils. I am by no means an expert; but I feel that this set up is far and away better than using a sub(s). I only wi... | |
| Cary sli-80 owners... I am currently using Electro Harmonix KT88s, Chinese military 6SN7s ($16 each from DIYhifi supply), and EI Elite 6DJ8s. The only traditional NOS tubes are the RCA 5U4Gs.I have tried a fair share of other NOS tubes, and for the money, this combinat... | |
| UPS ??? Do they ever pay a claim??? Thanks Sean:Yes, I am quite sure that I can do a better job packing my items myself. As a matter of fact, I have never had a problem yet with damages. However, I am now faced with the prospect of shipping some large speakers--and there is no way t... | |
| UPS ??? Do they ever pay a claim??? Has anyone tried one of the packaging/shipping services such as Pak Mail? I was told that if I pay the extra charge to have them package an item that I want to ship, that it would be covered under their insurance policy--thereby avoiding UPS or FE... | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? I have a Cary 303/200, and just recently began to use the upsampling feature, because I wanted to get a feel for how the unit sounded in the standard mode. To me, there is only a subtle difference; and I am not sure that I like it. There seems to ... | |
| Packing Peanuts-a waste Here is my method: 1)Purchase a new box that is about 4 inches larger in all dimensions than the original. 2)Purchase from Home Depot, one package of 16" X 48" sheets of insulating styrofoam. Cut these sheets to size, in order to line the inside o... | |
| Other great classified add sources,even Canada? What is involved in a reverse transaction--A person from the US purchasing an item from a person in Canada? Does it make any difference if it is a used piece of equipment, originally made in the US? | |
| Antique Sound Lab Amps Well, I received an e-mail from Divergent, advising me of the closest dealer to me in Grand Rapids, MI--and I just ordered a MGSi15 (standard model) from Holm Audio in Chicago. I have purchased items from Holm in the past, and they have been good ... | |
| Antique Sound Lab Amps Dark--I don't that many hours yet on my Twins, but I am quite pleased with them as is. Has anyone dealt with Brooklyn Audio? They quoted me a great price on the MGSi15--However, they do not have the standard model in stock. Evidently, there is an ... | |
| Antique Sound Lab Amps I have the same questions--Which amp are you looking at? I am considering the MGSi15 to use with my Reynaud Twins in my second system. | |
| <2K amp for Shearwaters I have a set of Wright Mono 10s ($1700) on order to use with my Shearwaters, so I can't yet comment on the sound. However, in the meantime, I am using a Fisher 400 tube receiver that I purchased for $200 on eBay--and it sounds great! I previously ... |
