| Lyra vs. Lyra I was wondering the same thing as Syntax when I read Dinster's opinion/advice regarding the Delos vs the Titan. He's just getting back into vinyl after "30 years of CD" and in another thread from yesterday he asks, "What is the correct VTA for the... | |
| VTL Binding Post - Sources? I'm guessing Luke put a stop to any "personal" service to end users. I've known Bea casually for about 10 years and she's always been very friendly and quite accommodating. Luke on the other hand is rather arrogant and can be quite rude. | |
| VTL Binding Post - Sources? My personal preference is the Cardas un-plated(bare copper); your second link. Spacing for the new posts should be exactly the same as VTL's but I'd make sure before you order them. Remember what the carpenter said, "measure twice and cut once". G... | |
| VTL Binding Post - Sources? I had VTL 250's, my buddy had the 450's. We both replaced VTL's OEM posts for un-plated Cardas which are far better quality than original. You'll want the short posts. The longer ones are used in speakers. They'll easily fit in your chassis and I ... | |
| Hovland still cuts it 7 yrs on as 2013 approaches I agree with Dgarretson regarding the Hovland caps. A few years ago I swapped a pair of Tele 12Au7 tubes I no longer needed to Bob Hovland in exchange for a couple pairs of his Musicaps. My intention was to upgrade a pair of first order series cro... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... You hit the nail right on the head! | |
| Power cords for ModWright SCD-XA5400es I've owned the Modwright 5400 for quite a while now. It's a giant killer and you'll be happy you pulled the trigger on the upgrade!!!Most OEM power cords are inexpensive 16ga. junk. I replaced both power cords(sony & power supply) with inexpen... | |
| Tube rolling on Modwright Sony 5400ES I have a pristine pair of the "nickel" base Sylvania's which I've used in my Modwright 5400 as well as a couple different pieces of Atma-Sphere gear. Too my ears, they're OK but not worth the money some are demanding for them. I have a couple pair... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... I can't believe this thread is still going! In my mind, the only thing French_fries has accomplished is to make himself look like a cry-baby. He'll never be able to listen to those amps again without thinking there might actually be something wron... | |
| Amplifier for Quads The TNT amps were designed to mate with Acoustat's own line of big panel speakers which required much more power than any of the early Quads. I'd be afraid of frying the panels with that much power.I'm with Syntax, Atma-Sphere would be a much bett... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Charles, I'll give you something else to think about; what kind of solder is JWM going to use? Remember, everything matters. Yuk, yuk!Of course, you're going to have to invite me over after you get some time on them. | |
| Preamp to pair with X250.5 Sorry, both are made by Atma-Sphere. The MP-1 is a two chassis unit with separate power supply. | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... I agree with most of Larryi's post but..."if I were in the market for a high powered amp" and were looking to spend the kind of "scratch" the ML fetches, I'd definitely be considering resale value, or lack thereof, and would probably look elsewher... | |
| Preamp to pair with X250.5 Clarrie, if you're on a bit of a budget, I'd seriously look at their MP-3. It's a wonderful sounding unit that they usually mate with their M-60 mono amps at the audio shows; CES, RMAF. If you want to take it up a couple notches(think state of the... | |
| 60 Cycle Hum If the hum is coming from your speakers, try using a 3-prong to 2 adapter on your power cord(float the ground) and see what happens. That may solve your problem. Some may say it's an unsafe way to run your equipment but I've had several manufactur... |
