| The Room, not us, determines our speaker choices I never expected that I'd write a post in agreement with Mrtennis either. BUT- I'm one that could never be happy with boxed speakers as well(except as studio monitors). I too have been using Maggies(a couple of the smaller models, modded, 24" from... | |
| Cayin A70T has bogus tube rectification? You bought an amp that was manufactured in china(cap omitted intentionally), and you're surprised that the rectifier tube is bogus/counterfeit/fake? Counterfeiting ia their national vocation/pastime/hobby!! | |
| Replaced Kimber Kable Hero ICs with Kubala-Sosna Gee: the Emotion(at over $2000/m) outperformed the Hero(at under $250/m)? What a shock!! How about comparing them to Kimber's Silver Select line, which cost about half the price of the Emotions? A much fairer comparison. I'm not saying that Kubala... | |

| Broad Stage in Santa Monica That would have been a major drive. I wish they'd come to Indianapolis! No venues with that kinda class though. | |
| "Bi-amping" an integrated without another amp? Mr E: Rotel called that position on the "swotch", "A+B". (http://www.rotel.com/content/manuals_archived/ra1060.pdf) It'll work. | |
| "Bi-amping" an integrated without another amp? YES: That would simply be the same as bi-wiring. | |
| which tube amp to try??? I've been using a pair of Cary SLM-100's for a few years now. Out of the gate, they were a very transparent pair, tubed with Sylvania and Winged 'C's. They're rock solid on their bias, easy on tubes, and very easy to mod(should you desire to). I d... | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and 6ohm speakers Mr G- You won't hurt anything, if that's what you're asking. | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and 6ohm speakers The ST-70 was working with the Maggies for me(at the time) because I was using it only above 200Hz. Well- That was with a 6db/oct slope, through a Dahlquist DQLP-1. Solid State on the bottom. I used(and modded) the combo with a variety of speakers... | |
| black touchup paint? Go to your local hobby shop, and pick up some Testors Flat Black enamel in the small bottle(#1149). Apply sparingly, with the tip of a toothpick. That should provide you with a lifetime of touch-ups. Totally non-resonant in the audio bandpass. =8^) | |
| need new ic's Kimber Kable Hero!! They were my intro to the Kimber line, and all have been excellent since. I'm using their KS-1130's now. The Hero is a VERY popular cable. If you don't like it, you won't have any trouble getting your $$ back via re-sale. (http... | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and 6ohm speakers Try them on both taps and see which sounds the most like music to you. That's what I did when I owned my modded ST-70 and Maggies(nominal 6ohm). I chose the 4ohm lead, and then installed Vampire 5 way binding posts(no chassis butchering necessary). | |
