As a Moderator at the Lenco Heaven site in the above reference, I thought I might comment. The thread in question has had almost exclusive praise for Arthur in his seemingly honest and forthright attempt at a fair review of a modded 40 year old ta... 
Avalon Isis Advice needed
That may work, but you may want to sit more near field than the 15 feet you specify. I'd say around 8 feet, or more than the 15 feet, but your results will vary with your expectations and preferences. As with all Avalons, the farther you pull them... 
Review: Jade Audio Pure Solid Gold Interconnect
I just wanted to mention that I heard John's system for the first time a few weeks ago, and it is truly reference caliber. His attention to detail and the willingness to do the hard work of fine tuning and tube rolling really shows, and simply can... 
How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ???
Hi Jim- I applaud your level of DIY, but I have to disagree about your generalization about the various ICE modules. Since the manufacturers of class-D amps readily admit that voicing is crucial, and that the class-D amps using ICE modules all sou... 
How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ???
Great reply Kirkus. I was trying to be general enough to not step on toes, but help explain the transmit chains and possible sources of degredation. A set of good ears make much of the processing minimalistic loss-wise. Often times the processing ... 
How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ???
It's important to remember that radio stations use serious processing in their transmission chains. First off, they brick wall filter at 50 Hz and 15Khz. Second, they compand the signal which is basically compressing then expanding the information...

I had one of these units for 10 years up until last year. I "sold" it to a man in Russia and it turned out he had falsified a PayPal payment. Bad experience.For $500 it's a steal. I believe it's worth around $1200. I also used mine with a Theta DA...

Nice score on the Leak Stereo 20, I had one a little while agoand I just loved the sound. Something about EL-84's sounds very "right" to these ears. You do have to get them updated to sound correct though, so that's a good things you're doing that...

I think the discourse has been plenty civil with regards to Mosin and Mario. Obviously, JN doesn't seem to get rattled when someone confronts him either. All involved seem to just let it ride, they take the confrontation like water off a duck. Tha... 
What does more power do for Magnepans?
It's not about loudness, it's about controlling the panels. Tubes have a more difficult time doing this. Therefore, more tubes in parallel whether it's push/pull or single ended, lowers the output impedance,(plus or minus an output transformer). D... 
Tube amp for Magnepan 3.5 with autoformers.
I've had extensive experience with 3.5R's and you need serious tube power to make them work as well as with a high quality solid state amp. Unfortunately, high power tube amps don't come cheap. We're talking a mandate of 150+ watts.The autoformers...
