| Different Results between Record Cleaning Machines Doug,What seals on the Loricraft do you apply a lubricant to? I'd like to try that on mine. | |
| Custom Builder For P/P Power Pentode Amplifier You asked for "the very best builders" for a push-pull amp. That would definitely include Fred Volz. I have a custom pair of his push-pull Vita monoblocks that can take 6L6s, EL-34s, 6550s, KT-66s, KT-77s, KT-88s and KT-120s. I recommend them high... | |
| Mitch Singerman EAR 834p mod Is there a website describing the mods? | |
| Can anyone recommend a better rectifier tube? I have had very good results with RCA 5R4GY rectifiers in both my preamps and choke-input power amps. They are pretty cheap and easy to find, and they last a long time. | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? 1. Western Electric 757 speakers in the Silbatone room2. Daedalus speakers in the Galibier room with Serious Stereo amps3. Volti Audio Vittora | |
| Record Cleaner Fluid suggestions On my Loricraft, I use a 2-step process. First, I apply AI #6 and let it sit for about 5 minutes, then after vacuuming it off, I apply L'Art du Son and immediately vacuum it off. If the record has been cleaned before, I will sometimes use just the... | |
| Speaker Stand Design? Stanwal, I am curious about your experience with Spendors on both Sound Anchor and Skylan stands. I have Sound Anchor stands with my SP100s, but I was wondering if the Skylan might give me a fuller low end. Could you describe what you noticed with... | |
| Spendor and Tubes I agree 100%. I have been using my SP100s with tubes for 10 years now. During that time, I have paired them with a modified Dyna 70, Cary 40M monoblocks, EICO push-pull monoblocks (6L6 and EL-34), 300B single ended amps, and now Emotive Vita push-... | |

| Comparison Living Voice IBX-R2 to OBX-R2? I didn't notice what type of Border Patrol amps were being used. Sorry. | |
| Comparison Living Voice IBX-R2 to OBX-R2? I heard the OBX-R2 twice recently, at the Capital AudioFest and at RMAF, each time with Border Patrol electronics. I had high hopes for the speakers given the praise in various reviews. Each time however I was disappointed finding the overall soun... | |
| 2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet I forgot the Volti Audio Vittora. That also sounded very nice, even better than when I heard them at the DC Capital AudioFest in July. | |
| 2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet I agree with Clio09. There were very few rooms this year with what I consider good sound. Five that did sound promising or at least interesting were (not in any particular order):1. Silbatone with Western Electric 757 speakers2. Galibier room with... | |
| What equipment uses 5687 tubes? The Emotive Audio Sira linestage uses a single 5687 for the gain (plus a lot of other tubes for voltage regulation and current sources), and the Emotive Vita amps use a pair of 5687s for input and driver stages. |
