| Does anyone know much about AGI preamps? Jay, i've seen Bruce's reviews before and emailed him quite a while ago. From what i can gather, his AGI is NOT highly modified. It simply has some common upgrades done to it. If i remember correctly, i think that he had all of the RCA's replaced ... | |
| What is the best DVD player? No price limit..... I think that Camelot unit came out best in a couple of different surveys. Never saw / used one, so i'm just passing on what i've read / heard. Sean> | |
| Does anyone know much about AGI preamps? Frank, I agree that it was a WAY overdesigned / underpriced unit in its' day. I've talked to David a few times in the last two years or so. I have his current phone / address and he's probably not too far from you. He currently designs and markets... | |
| Does anyone know much about AGI preamps? What would you like to know ? While not an expert on the unit, I own a half dozen of these units in various forms. I also have quite a bit of the factory literature and have spoken to the designer / builder on several occasions. My Brother also ru... | |
| Flat spkr cables: Nordost Red Dawn or Alpha-Core Goertz AG2 The Goertz MI ( copper series ) tends to work better with SS gear whereas their AG ( silver series ) works better with tube gear. Never tried Nordost but i do like the Goertz stuff quite a bit. Just don't forget to use a Zobel network ( impedance ... | |

He does repairs, upgrades, mods, etc... on these pieces along with offering a brief background on some of the products and the company. If you try c... | |

| transport for my cal alpha 24/96 dac The Cal Alpha or Sigma II that is specified as being 24/96 capable is just that. Capable of accepting a signal UP to that point. It is NOT an upsampler contrary to popular belief. In the Stereophile review, the Sigma II that they reviewed showed t... | |
| Did anyone manage to ``repare'' a buzz, ever? You have to track down the source of it. Start off by isolating the preamp from ALL other components other than the amp. This means removing all of your interconnects and power cords while leaving the preamp hooked up to the power amp. If there is... | |
| hopeless LP's I agree with Najo and Albert. When i changed tables / arms / cartridges, i noticed a DRASTIC reduction in surface noise. Both my brother and girlfriend stated that they had never heard records sound so quiet and "good". Keep in mind that this does... | |
| Tone Controls Several older "straight wire with gain" preamps provided switchable "loops" specifically for use with an EQ or outboard tone controls. In my opinion, this offered the best of both worlds. If the recording was poor enough to need "help" in terms of... | |
| Is there a HT pre-amp/processor w/o Video switiching?? i THINK that the Musical Fidelity processor doesn't have any video switching if i can remember correctly. Sean> | |
| Speaker upgrades and repair. I would second Bob's suggestion of using John at Van L Speakerworks ( also known as Chicago Speakerworks ). This is especially true if you are within driving distance. John is not only very reasonable in price, he is the most down to earth audio s... | |
