| Loud POP The staticy sound you hear when you operate the mute switch is most likely dirty contacts. The key there is that the sound goes away after you flip the switch a few times which mechanically cleans the contacts. Try flipping that switch 5-10 times ... | |
| Which CD players have AES/EBU digi outs? CAL CL-10 and perhaps others had it as an option. the CL-10 is perhaps the best sounding changer ever made (IMO< YMMV< etc.) | |
| Best preamp for my system. there are plenty of tube pres w dual outputs. And most pre-amp tubes last a very long time and unless you use NOS tubes, are not that expensive. Also there are some HT bypass units that do not require the pre to be on. For example my Doshi, but th... | |
| Telefunkens for the 12AX7's and 12AT7's Jim Sautter has always come thru for me. Good tubes; good service; good guy. | |
| Best Headphones in $500 range for Leben 300X the K1000s are a great phone, but given their are out of production and have a big following, I would be very surprised to find a pair @ $500.00. $850 is the lowest price I've seen in several years. | |
| Does anyone know? If the CD player has a volume control aka attenuator, you can. | |
| phono pre amp giant killer? If you are talking used, you can probably get a Lehman Black cube for that money, and if you desire, upgrade to the SE power supply at a later date. | |
| A Tribute to the Sequerra MET 7 I still regret selling my pair. Forget which version, but it was NOT one of the early metal grill deals. | |
| Are there any Tube Integrateds out there with? VAC Avatar perhaps. Probably just under 50 wpc. 2 el-34s/side I think. Avatar Super has 2 KT-88s/side with definitely more punch but probably a little over your budget. | |
| Fedex minimum insurance for special handling Fplanner- did they put it on a pallet or did you? | |
| Extreme hardglass CD OK, so after looking at the ad, I wonder. Is this basically a very expensive re-issue like MFSL ultradisks? Where do they get the music files they dub to the CD? Do they have a license from the artist and company that put out the original. Who wou... | |
| Broken Interconnects-fix, trash or ??? Try Moon Audio. In the past he'd said he would re-terminate cables. The question you have to ask is "is the cost worth it?" I would expect to pay $30.00 per pair of ICs plus the cost of the male RCAs. | |
| Bridge integrated amp and amp Not sure what you mean, but I'll take a guess. A quick look at the NAD web site shows that the C272s are bridgable to mono. The C355 has a pre-out/main in facility as well as a second set of pre-outs. So you could use the 355 as a pre-amp to drive... | |
| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? I also own ar ARS Sonum and it is a fantastic amp. If you are going to stick w the Dalis, you may want to think carefully. They are pretty efficient BUT the low nominal and minimum impedence is something to take into consideration. Not sure what t... | |
| Been wondering about this for years.... And that was the reason I got a Loewe Planus which is 16 x 9. |
