| When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade? Jond. Well, that wasn't my speaker you heard since mine were not finished until after your visit. However, mine are probably pretty similar to what you heard at Vu's store. They use a YL Acoustic (Yoshimura Labs) horn and compression driver fro... | |
| When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade? New speakers from Deja Vu Audio delivered two weeks ago. They are fairly large open baffle speakers with vintage drivers: Jensen 15" woofer, YL Acoustic compression driver and horn, and Electro-Voice horn tweeter. | |
| Jetrexpro's music on YouTube I enjoyed listening to it. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" Yes, the damping trough was removable on the VII without affecting the armrest. I didn't realize that had changed. | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" Peter,That sounds like a good idea. Stability is always important. I noticed your Triplanar still has the damping trough. If you are not actually using the trough, you should try removing it from the arm. I did that a number of years ago and w... | |
| Harbeth SLH5 plus. Top or bottom binding post? Ryder,Thanks for posting the Chord recommendation which is exactly what I described above. Chord even used the same word "coherent" to describe the sonic benefits of this type of wiring. Funny! | |
| Mills MRA two types of different brand ? The older Mills 12w (shiny black) has a bit more detail and has fast, clean high frequencies and is slightly lean in the upper bass although it has tight, powerful deep bass. They also have a slight edginess in the highs. The newer version (dull... | |
| Mills MRA two types of different brand ? The older 12w Mills have black bodies; the newer version has a brown body. Both sound good but I prefer the older ones. | |
| Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 or McIntosh AMP I used 3.6s for about six years and agree with you that they have a lot of potential and will be hard to beat with something new in the 3-4K price range. I used mine with a Classe DR-10 initially but it seemed to run out of power on peaks, so I r... | |
| Dog Proof Speaker Stands For Harbeth SHL5Plus Speakers I used both Sound Anchors and Skylan stands for my Spendor SP-100s, and both are very stable. I prefer the sound quality of the Sound Anchors though. | |
| Converting Solid State to Tube Rectification on a Preamp That's true. The DC from a full-wave bridge should in theory be a bit smoother, but I doubt that would make any difference in a preamp. | |
| Converting Solid State to Tube Rectification on a Preamp By the way, a typical tube rectified power supply uses a dual-element rectifier tube and a power transformer with a center-tap secondary wiring. This is a full-wave rectifier. A solid state power supply often uses a full-wave-bridge (4 diodes) t... | |
| Converting Solid State to Tube Rectification on a Preamp What preamp do you have? I have switched back and forth on several preamps from solid state to tube rectifier, but each of them was a DIY unit where I had intended to have this flexibility when I built it. A commercial preamp with solid state re... | |
| Harbeth SLH5 plus. Top or bottom binding post? The best solution for bi-wiring posts is generally to attach one speaker lead to one set of posts and the other lead to the other set. For example, connect the + speaker lead to the + woofer post and connect the - speaker lead to the -tweeter pos... | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles Jazzonthehudson,Like you I have a GTX-D (R). Mine is the NCF version with the aluminum housing and the cover plate. That's the only Furutech outlet I have tried so I can't comment on how this differs from the non-NCF version or how the outlet so... |
