| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" Thanks mem2112 for your useful comments. I've talked to a few other people who have the TP/Universe combo, all have reported great results.nandric, sorry if I was a bit sarcastic but I still fail to understand your obsession with test records and ... | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" This thread sure got weird. Not exactly the type of responses I was looking for when I started it. I've owned my TP for several years now and I can't recall ever playing an album and having a tracking issue. Like Ralph(atma-sphere), I don't own a ... | |
| Short Lifetime for 6NS7 Tubes Thanks. | |
| Short Lifetime for 6NS7 Tubes Ralph, I actually meant to type MP-1 and my notes from a conversation we had some years ago indicate that the pair of 6SN7's between the 12AT7's on the left and the three 6SN7's to the right in each channel are Constant Current Sources and that th... | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" I'm not unhappy with my TP though I've always felt the Discovery wiring was a weakness. Tried some of their "better" cables in the past and didn't care for them. I hate the idea of making two changes at the same time, wire and wand, so I've decide... | |
| Short Lifetime for 6NS7 Tubes Three pieces of my audio gear run 6SN7's; Atma-Sphere MP-1 Mk3, MA-1 Mk3's and a Modwright modded CD player, a total of 22 6SN7's. After initial break-in, all 22 stock Chinese tubes in all three pieces were replaced with NOS. Needless to say, lar... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Ralph, I stand corrected. I saw a photo of the MP-1 3.3 on "What's Best Forum" and as the saying goes, sometimes we look but don't see. Three 6SN7's and five 12AT7's per side. As usual, the layout looks meticulous.I assume the front 6SN7 nearest t... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design It's been quite a while since I've been on the 'gon and even longer since I've posted anything. Hello Charles, hello Ralph. Hope all is well with you and yours?Seems like I purchased my MP-1 and MA-1 Mk 3's not long after SoundStage did a review ... | |
| In Walls I'd normally just agree with Don_55's comment and move on but I happen to own a pair of Solus/Clements DR-ir8 "in-wall" speakers and I have to admit, they sound great. They're designed to mount in your wall between the studs and use the entire are... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? First, I have to agree with Dodgealum, this thread was pointless. Audiozen certainly got a rise out of a few people but I doubt anything was accomplished. I've never heard PMC speakers but based on Vapor1's link to the PMC crossover, I'd definitel... | |
| Modwright Oppo 105 Jfz, Lately I've been using RCA red base 5692's. They're oldies and hard to find ones that aren't microphonic but they last upwards of 10,000 hours and really sound sweet. One of my all time favorites is the black glass Tung Sol 6SN7 from the 40's... | |
| Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos? Feet, spikes, pucks are band-aids. Take JWM's advice and hang it on the wall. It's the best and least expensive way to isolate a TT. | |
| Long throw 5 1/4 woofer?? "Long throw", compared to what? Short throw? Sounds like marketing hype to me. Excursion doesn't mean squat if the driver can't produce believable sound; you know, vocals, acoustic instruments, etc.Another thing, 5 1/4" is generally a midrange dri... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner JWM, seems to me, you can tell that the transducer is working based on the physical and audible improvements after cleaning. After listening to a few noisy albums at your house before cleaning, then hearing them after cleaning, everyone in the roo... | |
| Bud Fried Towers? I'm glad to see Salk went back to the Hiquphon tweeter, even if it is the one with ferrofluid(yuk). The previous Bozo's used a ring radiator that was extremely rolled off and had terrible dispersion. |
