| Audible Illusions S-120 amp owner's manual I managed to get Art on the phone yesterday afternoon, and he was in a good mood, answered all of my questions, but couldn't provide an owners manual, so still looking for one if anyone can help. Much appreciated. | |
| Audible Illusions S-120 amp owner's manual Thanks @laginz. I've tried that too, and each time he rushed off the phone before he answered my questions. I will continue to try, but I figured I'd send up a flag on the off chance that there's a generous soul out there who'd be willing to shar... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus PreAmp>Best Amplifier Match Ever! Why not engage in a little necrothreading? I can confirm that AI made (and still makes) only SS amps, due to tube amps’ tendency to want to blow themselves up. I’ve had an M3A which ate all tubes other than the 6h23-eb, and now listen through an L... | |
| A very weird (to me) issue with an Audible Illusions Modulus L2B ... Thank you for hijacking my thread with wistful remembrances of the good old days. I was born before 1960, I remember them well. It was acceptable to pinch girls’ on the @$$ too. Try that now on my granddaughter and they won’t find where my son and... | |
| A very weird (to me) issue with an Audible Illusions Modulus L2B ... Thanks @stereo5 and @wturkey. I figure it is something like that too. I’m hoping someone might chime in who knows where to look - I have no problem going in with a soldering iron, but I’m less confident at being able to spot the bad connection... | |
| Current production EL34 tubes for vtl mb-125 New response to an old response to an even older thread - the Gold Lion KT77 ended up being my solution for the MB125’s too. Took forever to loosen up and settle in, but once they did - wow! Unfortunately, in the current political climate, Russia... | |
| Newbie question - dedicated headphone amp or is my McIntosh MA352 sufficient Old thread, I know, but I had the same question myself, so I’d like to add that while there is not much info on the headphone section, the owners manual DOES specify that it is for ‘low impedance headphones’, which rules out my preferred Audeze an... | |
| NOS Tubes - Ecstasy or Agony Old thread, but I found it because it’s something I’m thinking about right now. After 30 or more years of doing nothing but all tubes, and primarily “NOS” small signal tubes (never bothered with “NOS” power tubes), I stopped completely about 5 yea... | |
| Vintage MIT MI-330 Ok - engaging in a little necro-threading here (ran across this old, dead thread while looking for something else entirely), but I just wanted to clarify that while I have read elsewhere what nsgarch wrote about the arrow direction on the ORIGINAL... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? I hate to say this, because I am NOT a cable hater, but so far I haven’t been able to find anything that equals the tried and true Belkin gold series. I got mine brand new for about $12.99 delivered. It not just equaled but actually trounced the f... | |
| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures Mcfavre4 - welcome to the thread. I have quite a bit of experience with a pair of pre signature, biwire model 1s. They were my dad’s speakers and I borrowed them from him when my vandersteens went down (for the third time). My several months with ... | |
| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures Hey Boys -Merry Christmas! Messing around with speaker cable and wanted some input. I’ve been happily using CVT Terminator 1 biwire for almost a year without even thinking about it, but based upon comments earlier in this thread and elsewhere, I d... | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Range loading range I had a cadenza black for several years and loaded it at approximately 100 ohms - same as a koetsu or a Lyra. Assuming the red has the same internal impedance, I would think 300 is a bit too high unless you are trying to ‘liven up’ your system. Th... | |
| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures Thanks, Dave_b, I just read your post in another thread and your story leading back to the totems does, indeed, sound similar to mine (although my earlier totem experience was with a pair of pre-signature, biwire model 1s, which I still have in my... | |
| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures Thanks, N! Trying to keep a low internet profile these days, but this seems like a nice forum to share some set up ideas and listening experiences with these great speakers which, like you guys, seem to me to be under-represented out there. NSC |
