| New Musical Fidelity A1008 MF bashers are still not welcome to post here. LOL | |
| PrimaLuna CD Player? I'd like to hear from someone that has purchased one myself. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole - 6021W subminiature tube ?? Its not that difficult to solder in a pencil type tube with flying leads. You clip the leads of the existing tube near the glass. Then grab the lead with a tweaser, apply heat to the circuit board connection and remove each cut lead. Then just sol... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? There is a member that sells Gold Alloy Wire here on Audiogon in bulk by the foot. | |
| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" $100.00 is not really enough to even build your own SOTA cable. Four quality RCA connectors start at $50.00 and up. | |
| Cary SLP98 Tube Question Check the filament voltage. Possibly it is not set correctly. | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free Could be that the wiping action of the contacts in the breakers are responsible for the "improvement" you hear. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? First of all, I meant no insult. DIY cables does not imply amateur build quality. In fact, often DIY cables are of the highest quality. My reference to the use of the Eichman bullet plug was one of approval. As was the use of a "similiar" wire mad... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? What makes these cables different than a DIY pair that you can make yourself? Appears to be terminated with Eichman Bullet plugs and the signal wire Audio Metallurgy. I just don't understand the $$$ spent on these cables. | |
| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen I would like to comment that the above posters are going about selecting capacitors the "right" way. That is, to experiment with your specific piece of equipment and letting your own ears be the judge. There is no right or wrong in capacitor selec... | |
| Musical Fidelity kw DM 25 Transport and DAC To get the maximum performace out of the current 6112 tube based MF gear. There are NOS alternatives to the 80's vintage stock Philips tube. The 6112 was designed by Sylvania and I have a 1960's NOS pair in my unit. NOS 6112 may also be found bran... | |
| Tube rolling for the Cary SLP 2002 There is a big difference between the SLP-2002 and the ARC series of pre-amps: LS-15,16,25,Ref1. The ARC pre-amps use FETs prior to the first tube gain stage, to boost gain/bandwidth. Plus the volume control is digital. The 16MK2/25mk2 go even fur... | |
| Tube rolling for the Cary SLP 2002 Remove the tubes and reseat them, that may eliminate the noise. Also, Check all the press on connectors and make sure they are seated ( I hard wired my entire unit) Tighten the screws down on the 3 power transistors located on power supply bored. | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 I have experimented with the Jensen copper foil oil caps and did not find them warm at all. I"ll share a neat trick to warm up the sound of most any cap. On the output lead of the capacitor, solder on a 1" pigtail of Kimber varistrand copper wire.... | |
| Tube rolling for the Cary SLP 2002 6H30 tube has less gain than 6922. Notice that many 6H30 preamps use multiple tubes to achieve high gain.Amperex BB 6dj8 in gain stage and RCA 2 mica 5814 BP in output stage will give plenty of warmth. |
