| Experiences on Tom Evans phono stage ? Hi Nolitan, I am in the UK and the upgrade cost me a total of about 800 GB pounds say $1300. There were two things that Tom did:1) upgrade to SRX - this is the thing to go for, less noise and even more detail/music2) I had the dip switches fitted ... | |
| Experiences on Tom Evans phono stage ? I have a TE Groove Plus and had it modded to SRX. I can't really fault it and it is happily driving a BENT Audio TVC controller. I agree with Stltrains - it is very quiet and is able to create a really engaging musical experience. | |
| Atma-Sphere S-30 MK3 I have the S30 mk3 OTL amp with the upgrade vcap and resistors. The break-in period for me lasted only a couple of days. I loaned the amp from a dealer and for the first day it really didn't gel and I was very close to handing it back. However, da... | |
| Power Cord for PS Audio Power Plant Premier? I have a PPP and have been using stock power cords. I'm not particularly knowledgeable or interested in power cords but willing to take advice from others. I was looking at the Kimber Palladium power cord but I've now seen a glowing review of the ... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic I switched from dynamic speakers to Avantgarde Duo Omega horns. These are obviously not full range horns but the midrange clarity, detail and imaging are fantastic. I also feel that the bass is very good and well integrated so long as the level is... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s set up Mine is also now tracking at 1.9g on SME V with about 1 on the anti-skate. Loading at 100 ohm. I have been experimenting with VTA and have settled with the rear of the arm raised up - interested to hear what others have found with VTA??This cartri... | |
| TVC Promethius versus Bent I have the Bent Audio TVC and find that the transparency that this offers is remarkable. It is feeding an Atmasphere S30 Mkiii OTL which works fine as a combination for me as my speakers are very effiecient (Duo's 108 dB/w). I have tried various a... | |
| Preamps for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers I have an S-30MkIII which is partnered with a Bent Audio remote control TVC. The combination is stunning with clarity, dynamics and imaging the best I have experienced. However, the Atma's need a lot of voltage (4v I think) to achieve their full r... | |
| Turntable upgraded power supply vs. PS Power Plant I am interested in the Premier but didn't know there is a problem with it powering a turntable. There is a review in positive-feedback that describes the improvement when the Premier was feeding a VPI Scout turntable. I couldn't find any reference... | |
| avantgarde duo spikes or plastic feet ? Thanks guys, having tried the spikes and the 3 rails mountings I prefer the latter. I will take Inman and Hornguys advice and invest in the GPA Apex footers. | |
| TVC + Altmann amp? Hi Macrojack - I got the Altmann BYOB amp and have been using for a week now (not as much as I'd like as I'm recovering from an operation). Anyway, I connected the amp direct to my Tom Evans Groove Plus and fired her up. Initially I found the soun... | |
| xover settings for Avantgarde owners - survey. Snap! I have Duo Omega's with SUB225 - the frequency is set at 140Hz (pos 6 or 12 o'clock). If the freq is raised then the sound becomes too 'rich' for my taste. I am using Avantgarde Model 5 and Altmann BYOB amps. | |
| TVC + Altmann amp? I will take delivery of the Altmann amp next week. I'll try it with the pre-amp output from my Avantgarde Model 5 amp and let you know how I get on. I'll then decide whether to go the TVC route. Thanks for your replies. | |
| TVC + Altmann amp? Thanks Macrojack for your advice. I have concerns about using 2 passive devices and I have just received an email from Charles Altmann where he advises that the pot on his unit can be ignored because it would be fully open. I see what he means but... | |
| stylus cleaning Hi Rauliruegas, the advice on the Audio Technica was from the dealer who sold me the cartridge. He said that it was something to do with the short cantilever. As a result I stopped using it but it used to give really good results on the last cartr... |
