| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Take a look at the TW-Acustic tables designed and made by Thomas Woschnick; he makes several models at various levels but they all sound excellent, are versatile and able to handle multiple arms, and are built with the very best German craftsmansh... | |
| The Hub: Axpona comes to Atlanta! Decent show; just returned from three days at Atlanta AXPONA. Sheraton was a very nice venue overall and the many of the rooms had better than average sound. Especially enjoyed the DaVinci DAC with the Wilson Sophia's and Pass amps in room 317; ni... | |
| What are some favorite NOS 12AX7s for phono? Larryi,not to high-jack this forum, but what's your run-down on the basic differences between the three phonos that you mentioned above? I am looking for a replacement for my HP-100 which I love but is just not quiet enough. I've auditioned the AR... | |
| What are some favorite NOS 12AX7s for phono? And, I've had mixed results with the NOS 12AX7 Mullards; sometimes they are very good, other times they seem to go 'noisy' really quick. The Sophia's go noisy in my Hovalnd too but it takes significantly longer. The HP-100 does use a third tube in... | |
| What are some favorite NOS 12AX7s for phono? Check out Sophia's website for more info; they are located in Virgina I believe. Supposedly they go to the Chinese factory and cull-out the best testing 12AX7's as they come off the assembly line. They are a little pricey in my opinion but overall... | |
| To all tube lovers....... A used pair of Cary 500mb's. 500watts into 8 ohms & 1000 into 4 ohms. Can drive just about any speaker on the planet and the closest thing to tubes that I have found so far. | |
| What are some favorite NOS 12AX7s for phono? I've tried all manner of 12AX7's in my Hovland HP-100 phono including a number of NOS' and the overall best that I have found so far are the Sophia Electric (have not tired the Psvane yet though). Of course get their "A" grade for best results. Of... | |
| ARC Reference Anniversary preamp in 2011 Hey, any of you have experience with the EAR 912? I need to replace my Hovland HP-100. | |
| My speakers - weak link - proposals ? If you have the proper room space (at least three feet to set the speakers out from the wall), try a pair of Magnepan 3.6's or the new 3.7's. Best speaker I have heard to date for the money. | |
| What are best speakers for VTL 125 amps and 90dB ? I think Khorns are at their their best with smaller scale music like jazz ensembles, guitar performances (say like Neil Young at Massey hall). However, you need a good-sized room for a pair of KHorns and they must sit directly into the room corner... | |
| Your favourite cartridge What's the 'best' cartridge for the Dynavector XV-1s? | |
| What are best speakers for VTL 125 amps and 90dB ? Pick up a used pair of Klipsch KHorns; they are great 'rock 'n roll' speakers and work very well with the VTL 125's, especially in Triode mode... | |
| Best speakers For ARC VT100MKII I would second these:Magnepan 3.6's or the new 3.7's. You can get a great deal on a used pair here on AudioGon. I'm not 100% sure how well the VT100 will drive the 3'6s - they like lots of current... but, it would be an interesting test. A better ... | |
| A low cost way to try phono once again? I agree; go for a used table. You most likely will get a better table overall than buying new and get more bang for the buck. The VPI Scout is very good table for the money; not sure how much they go for used though... | |
