| OL Silver owners Thanks, Simon. | |
| 2a3 Tube Question I had a Cary 2a3 integrated. I never compared any NOS, but the Sovteks I thought were pretty darn nice and a killer value. YMMV. | |
| How do you pay? Why? My comparison on rates was on-line vs. over the retail counter at Kinkos. It is about 15-20% diff, IIRC. | |
| How do you pay? Why? Interesting about the none acceptance of speakers or high end electronic gear. I had gotten a quote for a subwoofer a few months ago from BAX. They hit me up for a significant fee for excess value insurance, but they did accept it. Maybe things ha... | |
| How do you pay? Why? Grant- The last time I looked at the BAX web site, they had a residential surcharge, so it seems that they must now pick up and deliver to homes. In that case it was a substantial additional charge, but in the past I have received a 42" plasma, a ... | |
| Drifting tonearm/cartridge weight Have you checked anti-skate? | |
| Wavac MD 300B Monoblocks HI Brian- that's a great pre-amp that you have and if the Peaks have a benign impedence curve, you might want to demo Atma or Joule amps. You can get quite a bit more power for "less than the cost of an economy car" They both match very well with ... | |
| How do you pay? Why? Jim- the declared value/insurance thing is a bit of a pitfall. The only way you are assured of getting re-imbursed is if its lost AND you can prove you actually shipped it. UPS and Fedex are much less prone to paying an insurance claim on shipping... | |
| One TT, 2 arms, 2 cartridges for $2,000 used? Marty- You may have made a math error (like it did a few days ago. You've used up the whole budget on TT, 2 arms, 2 armboards and 1 cart. I know its pretty close, and you could probably do something with a SOTA for example, 2 different REGA mount ... | |
| One TT, 2 arms, 2 cartridges for $2,000 used? IMO, you would be better off getting one TT, one arm, one cart for that kind of money enough compromises for one arm and cart!1 | |
| Noisy earphones There is a cord relacement available, IIRC, that addresses that problem. BTW, with the nanos, w/o an amp, you might be better off with the 4p(ortable). | |
| preamp for berning/merlin/audio aero system Hi Kevin- I'm so glad that you are enjoying the FS. It was definately a great pre; I only sold it because I wanted a full-function to kick my vinyl rig into motion (too many boxes and cables)! Enjoy!!! | |
| Can you use the same phone stage w 2 turntables The manual for my VAC Ren says that the phono stage which has 2 inputs (one MM and one MC) can be hooked up to 2 diff. tables. There is a back apron switch that selects between the two. My old Yamaha C2a had 2 seperate phono inputs. | |
| I need a 20 or 25 foot headphone cable The Moon cable is very good. Never hear the equinox. | |
