| Question about neutrality and transparency in an amp Your claim that both your speakers and integrated are, " quite colorless and neutral", should answer that question for you. Transparent, colorless and neutral all connote faithfulness to the source, or whatever’s upstream. If you want warm colored... | |
| Newby Q about impedances etc. The specs of your Contours and other mentioned choices are so close as to be inconsequential. If you're not changing rooms and expect to listen at the same SPLs as before, you shouldn't have any problems. | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? And don’t forget the pulley will need to be bored for an "interference fit" on the motor shaft: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_fit) If it won’t go on the shaft, or falls off it, it won’t matter how accurate the OD of the grooves are. | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? Never have dealt with them(Bob’s), but- my sentiments would be the same. Yep, dealing with Harry directly, was a pleasure. I have dealt with these guys, many times and have been very satisfied with their business ethic: (http://www.elusivedisc.com... | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? I would try here: (http://www.bobsdevices.com/VPI-Accessories.html), since (apparently) one cannot contact VPI directly, any longer: (https://www.vpiindustries.com/products.html) | |
| Phono Setup with Peachtree Nova 150 and Dynaco St-70 Good to hear(double entendre intended)! | |
| Phono Setup with Peachtree Nova 150 and Dynaco St-70 From the manual: "AUX-2/PHONO INPUT: Accepts line-level input from an analog audio (RCA style) source. Also, accepts analog audio output from a phonograph/turntable with a Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge. Please note that when using a phonograph/turn... | |
| Audio Research LS15 vs. SP14 Yes, a nice tubed phono stage in the SP-14 . Also, given the aluminum chassis, it’s very easy to install an IEC socket(ie: C-14), to facilitate the use of an upgraded power cord. | |
| How does the Phase Linear 400 compare? Correction: That TAS article was not titled, "ten BEST amplifiers of all time", but rather, 'The Ten Most SIGNIFICANT Amplifiers of All Time'. Most contributors that included Phase Linear in their list, did so(and said so) based on the fact th... | |

| Bad NOS tubes... OH, how I WISH I couldn't hear all the differences between NOS tubes and the stuff being cranked out these days! Could'a saved so many Dollars and..and....... NAH! | |
| Bad NOS tubes... You used the tubes and they functioned properly for HOW LONG? I have no problem at all, with the idea that those tubes tested and sounded, "NOS", when checked by the seller. How is he supposed to know what they will do, in your equipment, after si... | |
| Cary SLM-100 amplifîer upgrade question I’ve owned a pair of SLM-100’s for the past 12 years, and have enjoyed them immensely. They are in a different league than Vincent. Of course, your tube choices will greatly influence your presentation. You may already know that the output transfo... | |
| Sanders magtech or odyssey kismet You're welcome! | |
| Sanders magtech or odyssey kismet Can’t speak for everyone that actively bi-amps, but- I’ve always used a crossover that enables me to adjust for disparities between amps. My first was one I built using DeCoursey boards(1980), for my home system. I ended up selling that whole syst... |
