| ideal voltage for SS ASAIK, 117-120 v is "standard". There are several devices (Monster AVS-2000 is one), that will put out a constant voltage. | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Patience is tough, but hang in there; Santa, I mean Alex, is coming. | |
| My Teres 350 is on the way Just one question Audio (Bill) Fiel- Since you are a dealer/distributor for two competing tonearms, why did you order a Schroeder? Is it a better product that you want for your own use, or ......? Its getting more than a bit tiresome to see you re... | |
| McCormack 0.5 standard vs. Deluxe ONe difference was in the binding posts, but Weim boy is correct. SMc's upgrades are quite spectacular. Not a subtle improvement. The cost of the upgrade has a differential based on whether it is a std or a dlx you send them. | |
| How to touch up nicks on edge of black faceplate? I think what Jhold is saying is that the Sharpie has a slight purpleish tint. I could be wrong. Help us out, Jhold. | |
| RIP Dad Elgordo I echo all of the thoughts above, and will add just one other. Although one year has not been enough time to heal the emptiness, it will come. My wife lost her father suddenly at an early age. He was a great guy and everyone loved him and missed h... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? HI Steve- Appeared to me, my friend, hat Jmpwme's post was in the spirit of gentle ribbing from an kindred spirit. Spin a few silver disks and enjoy what you've got. | |

| calling all headphone gurus If you put a headphone amp into the tape monitor circuit, you can accomplish this, OR another option would be a Cary 300 sei integrated that has a headphone jack driven off of the 300bs, and speakers can be switched in and out with push of a butto... | |
| Merlin VSM-mm's a good value at $3000 used? Waveman- Not to hijack the thread, but which subs did you use? | |
| Your music system is an instrument. LMAO. I really needed that. It has been a tough week here in ol' New England. Thanks, guys. You are the best. | |
| Which tubes would you recommend? Check Joe's Tube Lore at Audio Asylum where you can get a detailed description of the characteristics of the various 12AT7 tubes. Be forewarned, JOe does not like the 12AT7. | |
| Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs Either the 2CEs or the 3Asigs with the Vandy sub is a virtually seamless transition, IF you use good filters. The only way I could tell that my subs were on, was to pull the plug. I've moved on for other reasons, but if you like the VAndy sound od... | |
| "Reference" Preamps Never heard the Callisto, but head to head the VAC Ren Mk2 beat the Calypso in every way. It has balanced out and a very nice remote. Comes w or w/o phono stage. |
