| Klipsch Vs axiom Personally, if you have the room go with a pair of Cornwalls, Belle or LaScallas instead. The Heritage series will be a more refined horn system than the RF Series. I heard the 83's and the 7's and while they were good I still prefered the sound o... | |
| Frustrated with new pre-amp and need advice Unsound you are correct, that is what we were taught but you don't have to go down to 0. Go just low enough that if your preamp generaes a popping noise or pulse surge it won't send through your amp. This usually does not happen in tube amps. If y... | |
| Frustrated with new pre-amp and need advice I assume the tube preamp you are speaking of is a tube unit? To me is sounds like one of two issues. 1. The preamp is faulty. 2. Some tube preamps and solid state power amps simply don't get along. If the preamp is under warranty, why not ask them... | |
| What amp would you suggest for Magnepan MG12s One amp for sure is the Modified Moscode 300 or 600. MOdified is more refined than stock units. But with a few upgrades a stock unit especially the 600 will surprise you. The Odyssey Stratos is another high current amp that should also do a great ... | |
| Eton 8.1's or Apogee Slant 6 So, far you all share some of the same thoughts I have. I'm looking for a pair of floorstanders that the bass will not overwhelm my room. I really wanted the Centaur Majors or the Centaur but they never come available locally or nearby. I have pre... | |
| Which one do I buy Pre Ject Debut III or Rega P1?? My first choice is Rega P1 because it has a better arm in my opinion than the Project or Music Hall. I also think the Rega has a little better acoustical dampening.The Technics SL1200 is still a very good table. The arm was a perfect match for man... | |
| Tube biasing problem Get a set of EH EL34's from Jim McShane. Matched Quad or Octet. Search for him on Google. He gives a pretty descent warrant too. You most likely under $140 or close for all 8.I would contact CJ to see what they offer as well. You may get a great d... | |
| dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first My vote goes to a matched Quad of EH 6CA7's in the ST70. But you should replace them all at the same time. But I also reccomend that if the mods to the input board, beefing up the B+ and power supply as well modding the bias circuit as well then y... | |
| Rickie Lee Jones "Pop Pop" What you are hearing is the naturalness of the recording. The sound is true to the artist. Rickie Lee's voice is raspy and rough. I still enjoy her nontheless. If you are listening to the LP try to adjust your antiskate and cartgridge weight. If y... | |
| Vintage Stereo System Appraisal The prices are very conservative on the gear listed. I think this would be a great candidate for the auction. I would list it on Ebay simply because it reaches more "Retro type" buyers than Audiogon. I have seen gear like this go for crazy prices.... | |
| Moscode 300 to be modded, which caps sound best? The best unit I heard had Wondercaps. I have heard at least 3 different mods and I owned one that just had Wondercaps and it was better in sound staging, dynamics, and was simply more musical. I also had a 600 with the same mods and it too was exc... | |
| Most non-fatiguing 2.0 nearfield setup for $1000 You should seriously consider the pair of Spica TC60's on these pages. They have good bass and an excellent midrange and clarity that you don't find at this price. They are discontinued but they mate well with solid state and tubes. You may also w... | |
| Audio By Van Alstine Amps/Preamps I have an older Super PAS 3si preamp which replaced a CJ PV5, and Audio Research LS9 preamp. It came with NOS Phillips 12AX7's and I have tried several others since and it holds it's own. It does not have the last word in transparency but the late... | |
| Flat Records? I have purchased many re-issues from wdcdradio. They were mostly Bluenotes, and older R&B and jazz LP's. Not a single one of them have ever been warped. I have ordered many from soundstage direct and none of them have been warped either. None ... | |
| california audio labs aria mk3 - opinions? I bought one a few months ago and the stubborn seller told me he knew how to pack it. I let it go and when it arrived the front panel was seperated from the case. I never got a chance to hear it. A local friend says the MK III is the only model yo... |
