| Tube preamp options Allnic Audio make great preamps. | |
| Shipping 80lb amps. Be careful to insure each box for the full value of the pair if you ship them that way, unless Klaus would be willing to make you a single matched amp to replace one that is trashed. | |
| Premium SuperTweeter Cables? Aperion Audio manufacture a good sounding cable for use with their range of super tweeters and it’s very good value. I’ve also used it as the speaker cable on a 100dB efficient speaker and it’s quite competent, though obviously that isn’t its prim... | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? As I look at my Basis Audio Debut and gently test the compliance of the suspension system with a well meaning finger, I can’t for the life of me imagine how the carbon fiber armwand would deflect the suspension as it moves slowly across the record... | |
| A Tale of Two Cambridge Audio Edge Amps Personally I think you'd improve the sound of your system by moving away from the PC and investing in something like a Lumin U1 Mini with the Sbooster power supply. The Lumin has a proprietary volume control that people are using to replace expens... | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? @mijostyn ok, thanks for the info. I was hoping but I wasn’t optimistic about making it work. | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? @dover Do you happen to have any info on what’s required to fit an ET2 to an early Basis Audio Debut Sig with vacuum platter? I have a Graham 2.2 on the Basis and an ET2 on a TNT MKI and wondered what would be involved in swapping them around. ... | |
| Dr. Feickert Turntable Great table, I’ve owned two Volares, one with a Jelco the other with the OL Silver. I also owned a Woodpecker but didn’t like the handling on the Kuzma 12VTA that came with it. Feickert has a house sound for sure. I ran my Volare alongside a Ori... | |
| Class D for Repatriated Merlin TSM MMI I’ve had Merlins, both floor standers and the TSM MMM Black Magic editions. They respond nicely to higher power delivery though Bobby P ran them a lot with ARS-Sonum tube amps. I’d be careful with class D amps as anything on the lean side or brig... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? I recently ran a project with a pair of vintage Altec Lansing Valencia 846b and a Lyngdorf TDAi 2170. I removed the XOs from the speakers and used the XO function in the 2170. I ran the woofers from the 2170's internal amp, then used the analog o... | |
| Words of wisdom on choosing a speaker Two words: Elasticated pants. | |
| Piega loudspeakers Own the C40. Good speakers but need some room to open up. | |
| Euro Tumble I bought a new turntable from the UK and it was a hassle free experience. It shipped in two large boxes via DHL. After about 5 or 6 days in transit I got an email from DHL asking that I go to their website to pay import duty. It took five minutes ... | |
| Uneven room dimensions/reflections = uneven toe in as solution? I need that symmetry so I couldn't live with different toe-in angles. However, you can also try varying the distance a little from the front wall. Pull the speaker exhibiting less output forward a 1/8" at a time until you balance the sound. Othe... | |
| Will rebuilt Quad ESL 57s take the place on a great $30K dynamic speaker? Wonderful speakers, I've owned two pairs over the years, the last pair about a year ago. For my tastes, I could only keep the Quads if I maintained two systems. They're just not suited to about half of what I enjoy - Genesis, Rush, etc, played at... |
