| How Do Left & Right Brains Like AT ART9 vs Dynavectors 17D3, XX2, XX2mkII vs Ortofons Since you asked about the 17D3: Not only is it low mass(at 5.3g), but- also fairly high compliance(15x 10-6cm/Dyne) . That’s why it mates so well with low effective mass tone arms(under 10g), like effischer’s(and my) Magnepan Unitrac 1. Very faith... | |
| Been "Gone" 10 Years...What Have I Missed? If I owned a Lector, I probably wouldn't part with it either. I need a front-loader, so- I own a BAT VK-D5 and found that upgraded tubes in the analog section made a major contribution to it's performance. The six NOS, early 60's Siemens CCa gre... | |
| Best sounding transistors " This is what often happened in the old Phase Linear 400 amps back in the 70's and 80's. " Their 700 had the same issue. Those of us that repaired so many, often referred to the company as, "Phlame Linear". | |

| Best sounding transistors @Goose- Another type you might find of interest: Epitaxial Planar or Ring-Emitter transistors. They've been used by Pass, Burmeister, Symphonic Line, Electrocompaniet, and other respected marques. Seems the source now is Sanken. | |
| Best sounding transistors Nelson Pass has a supply of NEW OLD STOCK Toshibas(ie: 2SK170/2SJ74/2SK2013/2SJ313), that he's using in his newest amps. NOS doesn't only mean, "new old stock" on ebay! | |
| Best sounding transistors "What do the Pass amps use? " Nelson is using NOS Toshiba JFETs(input stage) and NOS Toshiba MOSFETs(output stage) in his latest amps(the .8 series). | |

| RMAF 2016 "No Schiit?" "NO Schiit?" Sounds like there's a lot of new Schiit. | |
| Telefunken in Disguise? Tele’s diamond is actually an embossed(raised/molded) emblem, rather than engraved. If it doesn’t appear as shown in these pics- the tubes aren’t genuine Telefunken: https://www.google.com/search?q=telefunken+diamond+bottom&espv=2&biw=1138... | |
| Direct Digital Amplification Heard of it, quite some time back(around 1998): (http://www.stereophile.com/content/pure-digital-amplifiers) | |
| Will changing gain affect frequency response? Seems I missed(spaced) the part where you brought the volume back down, at the listening position. Kinda obviates Fletcher-Munson from the conversation(sorry). | |
| Will changing gain affect frequency response? I suppose looking at a Fletcher-Munson graph may be a good idea, as well: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher%E2%80%93Munson_curves) | |
| Will changing gain affect frequency response? This article may offer some insights: (http://ehomerecordingstudio.com/fletcher-munson-curve/) | |
| Output threshold using a Dynaco ST-70 amplifier with passive pre. Contact Joe Curcio. There are a plethora of upgrades, that can be done to the ST-70's power supply(simple and complex). He's an expert on the piece. (http://www.curcioaudio.com/) |
