| Did I just ruin my amp What you saw was a tube arcing. I saw it once on a Rogue Cronus Magnum. The tube had a blue arc going up and down it. I replaced the tube and also the fuse that was in line with each tube, then had to rebias. | |
| Feedback Problem Thanks for the link. I asked over on the VPI forum as well. | |
| Odyssey Kismet Reference series. When I had my Odyssey amps, I ran them with both an Audible Illusions Modulus 3B and a Rogue RP-5. You could also get the Rogue RP-1 for half the money with 85% of the performance of the Rogue RP- 5. | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT I am planning on dropping by sometime in January (weather permitting), and I would be up to meeting you guys. I need to purchase a new Cartridge from JohnnyR and have it mounted on the Prime 3D arm. | |
| Audiotron Looks like a garage build. | |
| Feedback Problem Do you think the Dynavecter DV20X2L cartridge would be a better match for my 3D arm? | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? If you are into McIntosh, I bought a 200wpc integrated amp from Audio Classics for $3200.00 used but it looks and plays like brand new. They have similar on their site with built in dac for less than 6K. | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? Don't waste your money. While different cables have different attributes, if you don't have much bass, no cable will magicly give you bass. | |
| Best course of action Vandersteen makes a powered sub that will work very well with your speakers. | |
| Does a tube need the break-in hours? Uncle Kevvy from Upscale told me the 12au7 and 12ax7 tubes which were NOS would take around 50 hours to break in. | |
| Analog integrated amp recommendation What about a Pass? I think they had a integrated 150 that went for $7500.00 I would check with Reno Sound as they carry all the used , closeouts and refurbished Pass equipment as well as new Pass equipment. | |
| Feedback Problem I am wondering if the high output of the cartridge is amplifying the feedback to a greater extent? I didn’t hear it with the Denon perhaps because it’s output is so low it doesn’t amplify enough for the speakers to pick up? | |
| Suggest an SACD/CD player under $6k I wouldn't go the dac route as you can't play the SACD layer through it. | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? First of all, GE designed all their own drivers for the Triton References and they certainly aren't cheap drivers slapped in a box. Their crossovers use all the best high end parts including Mondurf caps. The fact that they build them in China i... | |
| Transaction make sure you give him good feedback if you haven't already. |
