| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Mick,a straight, erudite answer, warts and all.I know a couple of Granges are only going due to the search for the Holy (& bloody expensive) grail.I only hope at somestage I can upgrade from my Syrah to one of your dearer models. Can't ... | |
| CD output voltage too high for preamp: what to do? Hi there,a set of Rothwell attenuators will solve your problem.I think these can be had in differnt values and cost about £35 over here - sure I've seen them advertised on Gon.Russ Andrews (the Kimber distributor in the UK) does attenuated i/c's f... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Groovy, we can all hike the price of our handbuilts!I have only ever heard of one other Suprtek in the UK,A Cortese which I tried to buy from a dealer - but it was not in yet - so why advertise it.Simon | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Ray,I was using Sovteks that were ok & quiet. Lots of duff sylvanias initially caused me grief.I was very pleased with the grey glass rca's but I think the Sylvanias are slightly better (in my system)- these are the green lettered ones whic... | |

| Future of this hobby? Hmnnnnn????All attempts to interest my son in 'my hobby' fall on, enlightened ears up to a point. He loves my system, loves his music and thinks I am a) nuts to pay the money for such a system b) a lunatic to pay for any kind of software.I have sa... | |
| Convertion Pass labs x600 from 110 to 220 V? Easy conversion for a 'qualified ' tech.My X-250 was converted to 240V.a couple of wires from the transformer are re-solderedto different positions on a board - which is marked forthe different voltages.I think the amp/s would then need re calibra... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hope a European investor doesn't mean a European distributorwith the appropriate doubling in price or upgrading my Syrah to a Grange or the like will become a distant dream???Happy New Year to everyone.Rgds Simon | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Slowhand,try the Cartridgemans Isolator, I never knew how good my Syrahs phono stage was till I installed this thing.I've never had any problems with my Airy 11 at 1.91 gms but with this thing installed, it will track anything without complaint... | |
| Materials for absorption panels Hi There,thanks for all that. I have the fibreglass panels (nasty stuff!). I think they are our equivalent of 703.Anyway they are 50mm thick.I made an approximation of the 8th nerve stuff - glued tin foil to the front and getting quite good result... | |
| Materials for absorption panels Hi Cytocycle,from my studies real traps would be the way to go - I'd have no qualms paying them but damned if I'm going to pay 3x the price cause of my location so diy is my only option.My experiments so far prove to me at least, that room treatme... | |
| Materials for absorption panels Thanks Cal, that site is just what I was looking for. | |
| Materials for absorption panels I want to try a similar set up to the 8th Nerve stuff, corners and seams.I realise that for the 1rst reflection points, I don't need to worry about reflection but the idea of filling my small room full of huge bass traps does not thrill me.Also no... |
