| Tube Amps from China A tube-SS hybrid amp might be a possibility within your budget. Maybe a Vincent hybrid? | |
| Turntable Upgrade Suggestions Sbrownnw, I believe that there is a shop in Eugene that sells Well Tempered tables. Worth giving them a ring perhaps. | |
| Sao Win SDT-10 Strain Guage Cartridge. Have you asked about this over at diyaudio.com ? That would be the first place I'd look. | |
| Turntable Upgrade Suggestions Check out the Well Tempered Amadeus and the Townshend Rock 7. Both are great tables. See Robert Greene's reviews in The Absolute Sound. I think he captures the flavor of these tables well (though it should be noted that he would have gotten even b... | |
| Tube Amps from China Finding a tube amp at under $1000 to drive Maggies is going to be real tough. My understanding is that Maggies really like power. Not sure you are going to be able to get the power you will need to drive them well until you get into the $1000-$200... | |
| what did you purchase after PS AUDIO GCPH PHONO? Have never heard the Liberty (and am extremely happy with the SimAudio Moon 5.3 with external power supply I just replaced by P75 with), but based on reviews and specs it does certainly seem worth taking a close look at. I have no problem with a m... | |
| Selling on Agon question I would also insist on shipping with a tracking number or have it in writing that the buyer accepts any risk that comes with shipping without tracking and insurance. | |
| Beware purepower inc Vicks7, I have no regenerator allegiances, but it seems from these forums that PurePower in Canada has had both problems with a) the reliability of their units jusging by the A'goners who have reported needing to send units in for repairs (showing... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Though there is "tubey" solid state as well and very fast extented tube designs too. | |
| Best Speaker Impedence for Tube Amplifiers And it is worth trying the different taps on your tube amp to see what works best in your system. My bi-wired Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen IIs are 7 ohm nominal impdeance. But since the bass module is 4 ohm, the speakers sounded much better out of my R... | |
| Life of a PS Audio PowerPlant?? I believe that the Power Plants with the greatest number of problems have been the Power Plant Premiers, which were made in China. PS Audio has moved production back to the US for their current regenerators. I hear of less issues with the older mo... | |
| Rega p2, WT Classic or Pro-Ject perspective? Soix, I upgraded to the Amadeus from a VPI HW-19 with a Rega 250 arm. An obvious upgrade for many reasons. When I was shopping for an upgraded table I narrowed my search to the Amadeus and a Townshend Rock 7. When an Amadeus showed up used, my dec... | |
| Rega p2, WT Classic or Pro-Ject perspective? The WT will be the most finicky of these tables. My understanding is that the paddle design of the arm is a bit trickier to set up than the current golf ball. I used to own an Amadeus and have only good things to say about the silicon damping desi... | |
| Oppo-105 vs Oppo-93 + W4S DAC2 for stereo. Hold on folks, we can't say anything about the sound of the 105 since IT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED. Those who have heard pre-production versions have signed NDAs that prevent them from commenting on the sound. And since they are hearing pre-production... | |
| PurePower what are your thoughts? If only the Canadian PurePower were so prompt in replying to complaints like the one in this thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1348390094&openfrom&10&4#10Or to complaints by A'gon user Glory. |
