| When to recap a late nineties Krell Kav 250 A. If it is working and sounding fine, leave it alone! I have many vintage amps that are still working and have yet to have any caps fail! | |
| where best to spend $2-3000 upgrade dollars in my system My Ohm Sound Cylinders don't seem to require much power (Carver TFM 15CB) and sound fine at low volume. I am really impressed by the "holographic" effect they produce even when placed poorly in a room. Unlike ANY conventional box speaker! | |
| American Made Audio Unveils New Site For Made in USA Components Thank you willemj! | |

| Amp for Amphion Argon 3s I recommend a pair of Spread Spectrum Technology Ampzilla 2000's! The last and final design by the late James Bongiorno. There is an excellent review in The Sensible Sound! | |
| Transcendent Grounded Grid vs Foreplay III Wow! Ten years and NO responses! I know of the Transcendent Grounded Grid preamp from reading about it years ago. Most every tube preamp uses a grounded cathode (resistor and cap) for bias. I don't know if grounding the grid instead has any benef... | |
| Grounded phono interconnects Be sure to run a ground wire from the TT ground to the Phono Box ground! This is to eliminate hum. I do the same on my Pioneer TT. | |
| Grounded phono interconnects Yes, you can simply swap cables! My Pioneer PLX1000 has the same RCA jacks on the back. It did come with a nice high quality IC - which I replaced with an AudioQuest Silver Extreme to match my other IC's! | |
| Vintage Carver I still have a TFM 15 used with my KLH Nines and Ohm Sound Cylinders. Working and sounding fine! | |
| First Tube Amp Will Vincent of Idaho makes some superb tube amps - both PP and SE! I have one of his SE 45's! Great sound and build quality but limited power output (1.75 watts!). Works well with my vintage Klipsch Heresy's! | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? I have an original Athena and Andromeda from when James Bongiorno ran the company. After he left later versions may not have been as good! Sumo closed long before James died! | |
| Aleph 4, or else? (good general purpose class A amp) I recommend any of the Bedini amps: 25/25, 45/45, 100/100 and 150/150. I own the first and the last! Superb Class A sound from the late John Bedini! Competitive with the best and most expensive amps today! | |
| First Tube Amp How about a nicely restored Dynaco Stereo 70? A classic PP design using pairs of EL34's, 5AR4 rectifier and a pair of 7199's. And GOOD iron! Probably the most popular tube amp ever (500,000 made!). I own two: a new input board version and a full-c... | |
| where best to spend $2-3000 upgrade dollars in my system Your Klipsch Cornwall's are the limiting factor in your system. How about a new pair of Ohm Walsh's for $3K? Easy to setup and 3D imaging from ANYWHERE in the room! A sadly overlooked brand! I own a pair and they are competitive with ANY multi-kil... | |
| Good Direct Drives Why would anyone want to spend $4000 on the new Technics 1200G when the Pioneer PLX1000 is comparable in every respect?!!! |
