Re: Story about Ringo
Say what you want about about Ringo's drumming, but he has a "feel" that is near-impossible to emulate. When you're propelling a band, it's all about support and groove.The word synergy gets bounced around a lot on this forum. Those four players i... 
Cambridge Audio 840C
Dave_bI was initailly looking to go with a 2-channel RB player rather than SACD. I have an SCD-C555ES that is in need of service, thus the reason for looking into new players. Have you been able to compare the RB playback of the Sony to either the... 
PrimaLuna Prologue 8
Mitch,I also took note of the measurements from the reviews. With other Primaluna products it shouldn't be a problem. My linestage has an input impedance of 100k so it could possibly mate well. If I were to upgrade to another linestage having a lo... 
Biasing Six Pac help
Springbok10,I'm not at all familiar with the multimeter that you have. What is it's maximum range in milliamps? My multimeter only measures up to 500mA and uses a needle to check the reading. Sorry I can't be more helpful. 
Biasing Six Pac help
Springbok10,I'm not sure if it will work without the speakers connected as I've never tried. I would ask Gerald at Cary.Enjoy! 
Biasing Six Pac help
I spoke to Gerald about the very same thing. He said that it's ok to insert/remove the plug into the bias jack while the amp is on....your speakers may not like it, but it shouldn't cause any harm to the amp.I initially followed the directions in ... 
In the Air tonight DRUMS - phil collins on LP
Can't comment on a particular pressing of the Collins' solo record, but there's plenty of great drumming to be found on the early Genesis records (Peter Gabriel period) or a mid-period record like "Trick of the Tail."Phil can play. 
Best Live Recording on LP
In addition to two of my rock faves previously mentioned (Allmans at Fillmore and The Who's Live at Leeds)I'd also recommend Humble Pie's "Rockin' the Fillmore" and Hendrix's "Band of Gypsys." 
Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp
Mjcmt - I bought my Six Pacs new, have had them since January, so I'm assuming they're the most recent edition. I don't know about any changes that they've made to the driver stage, but mine came stock with 12AX7's and EL-84's. I've since swapped ... 
Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp
The AE-3 MKII, if nothing else, should provide some synergy when paired with the MKII Superamp for the reasons that you've already stated. Seems to be a good gain match with my Six Pacs. The AE-3 might also benefit from upgrading the feet. 
AES 6 pacs Speaker choice?
I have a simiar AES setup and am also interested in hearing about speakers that will mate well.I've been using a pair of MMG's along with a sub, and while I like the sound, I know that these speakers aren't the easiest to drive. I'd like to better... 
Eastern Electric minimax phono vs. Hagerman Cornet
I've never heard the Hagerman (I own the MiniMax)but they appear to have a similar layout and one could probably be very happy with either.If you're planning on using a DL103 cart, the stock loading on the MC side of the MiniMax (47 ohm or 100 ohm... 
Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp
I have been using the MKII for awhile along with the Six Pacs and it's been a fairly good match. It has 3 inputs and two pairs of outputs. I've also heard terrific things about the DJH version. Tube rolling helps with either unit. 
Linn Basic LVX or Rega RB300 ?
You'll probably need to get another armboard if you want to mount the Rega. Origin Live makes a pre-cut board. I don't think that the Rega arm is much heavier than the Basik, though you'll definitely have to check the Linn's spring adjustment and ... 
Rebuilding LP12; which tone arm
I'll be fitting a Tecnoarm to my LP-12 this week.....very similar to your RB300 arm.Is the Zu/Denon a good match with the Rega arm in terms of compliance, etc...?
