| ear care Thanks Elevick, Tpreaves and all other posters. I do not I have a problem listening. The music is fine. But I will be seeing a specialist about the ringing in the left ear and will ask about having the ears cleaned. This is the first I have heard ... | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? From expierence the closer the tubes are to the source the better. I also switched tubes in the phono stage and in the cd player. Phono stock tubes are 6922 switched to ECC-88 The cd player stock 12AX7 switched to ECC-83. Both with positive result... | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? I tried an Audio Research LS-25. The noise and lack of control in in the bottom 2 octaves was to much for me. Got a used McCormack MLD. Kris at SMC did his Platinum+ upgrade on it. I know this hard to except but even the midrange is better than th... | |
| Best Overall Value in a KT-88 tube Have done business with tctubes my self the past 6 weeks. They did some testing for me plus I bought matched ECC83 and ECC88 tubes for a phono stage and cd player. Just like Adam18 they were the best for customer service and product. Highly recomm... | |
| powering the Dahlquist DQ-10' To get what the DQ-10s are capable of you will need a separate amp and line stage or pre amp. Amps that I used on them are Audio Research D-350 and D110B. I have heard the DQ-10s with Threshold Stasis 2 and Mark Levinson ML-10 with very good resul... | |
| Lp's you'd like to see remastered Yes / Going For The OneShostakovich / Symphony #11 This one I just do not understand how Classic Records, Mobile Fidelity or several other labels have not reissued it. The only way it can be had is buy used. I have bought at least 6 copies and all... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Thanks Duane for clarifying ID room. Having owned Dales speakers for over 15 years because I have yet to hear anything else I like more I just could not understand what Azaud was hearing. Dales speakers are incredibly clean with outstanding tonal ... | |
| How loud do you like to play your music? I do not have a didital meter but music that has a sustained loud passage I measure 92db. Most of the music I listen is well under that. | |
| How large is your music collection? Been in this hobby about 28 years. Have almost 500 LPs and about half I listen to regularly the other half seldom. About 30 cds listen to about 5 of them regularly. Not large numbers but the ones I listen to I really enjoy. | |

| whole house protection Thanks much for the suggestions | |
| McCormack Amp Upgrades I have 2 DNA-1 amps mono block. Bought them used but they were not up to the platinum level. They are now with the Plitron transformers. I like Nelson Pass amps and pre amps. Have owned and heard some of his products. The Platinum DNA-1s are the f... | |
| Preamp for McCormack DNA500 The SMC VRE-1 linestage is the first one that came to my mind also. I currently use an Audio Research LS-12 and like it very much with my DNA-1s but plan on buying Steves VRE-1 down the road some day. | |
| Audio Research LS 12 Preamp Characteristics? I have had mine for about 6 years now. Previous pre amp was a Threshold SL-10. Have listened to a number of pre amps over the years and there are very few that are as musical as the LS-12 and fewer yet that are more musical.I use the ARC PH3SE pho... | |
| Do you leave your McCormack amps powered on 24/7? No. If Iknow I will be doing some listening that evening or night I will turn them on early afternoon and let a cd play at low volume. I have a pair of DNA-1 Patinum level, mono blocked with the plitron transformers. After about 4 hours I cannot d... |
