| System for weekly traveller to use in hotel room I've been very happy with the sound quality of my Sony Minidisc player when driving Grado SR-80s. I record straigth from the audio output of my Classe DAC, but Sony also sells an cable that allows you to input a digital (Toslink) signal, so you ca... | |
| Looking reccom. for tube pre amp for about 1000? I'm happy with my BAT VK3i which should run between $800 and $1300 depending on options (remote, phono card). Balanced and single ended in and out, uses 4 6922 and 2 6V6. | |
| bat vk3i best tubes Ralph- I've used a variety, so far I like the Amperex 6922 PQ best. I'm waiting for a quad of used CCa's which should arrive this week. I've also have some of the Russian 6H3Ps that were pretty nice, and I had no complaints with some NOS Phillips ... | |
| Should I use LAST Preservative or Uranium 238? U-238! | |
| classe/great customer service Not surprised; they did a great job in receiving an item shipped from abroad, converting voltage, full check out and shipping to me in US, at a very reasonable price. | |
| Bluegrass question: Describe what the difference Yeah there's a few here (maybe more). Just guessing about your question, but here goes: 1st generation could be Bill Monroe (who invented the term), Earl Scruggs, Vassar Clements, Stanley Bros., etc. 2nd generation would be Ricky Skaggs, Mark O'Co... | |
| Preamp Matching? I haven't heard the 30se, but my 3i sounds aweful nice with my DNA1.0 Rev. B. I've never been too much on specs. | |
| Oracle to Bang & Olufsen - Interconnect? You are looking for an RCA to DIN cable. Most cable manufacturers can supply such a cable, probably at some additional cost. | |
| Denon DP 61 F Turntable - Need Help/Info Ned- I've got a 47F with a "dynamic servo tracer arm", whatever the @#$% that means. If you email me off-line, I can copy the portion with thet tonearm info and send/fax it to you, if you think that it's the same arm. | |
| The final solution to WAF problems / issues. Careful with the term "final solution" ;>) | |
| Problems with CAL 10 display Can't comment on service, but I've got the same problem with my CL-10. The dealer says its the power supply for the display. So far, after about a year, I can report that while the display is worse, its had no impact on the audio, and I just leave... | |
| Subject: Anti-Piracy Breakthrough Albert- Just when I have been lamenting the "tameness" of the forums, you come along and make my day. This gets my nomination for the A'gon Hall of Fame. Thanks so much, you're the best. | |
| Best Remote $1,250 used preamp? I have a BAT VK3i and love it, but the remote is volume only. Has a unity gain setting for HT pass-thru, and multiple volume pre-sets (not sure what that's worth if you cant switch sources remotely), and a mute, but no source switching. IMO, the o... | |
| Do step up transformers degrade sound? Cw is correct. I had DAC converted by the factory for $50. | |
| I turn the big Half-Century today I crossed over about 2 months ago. My wife invited me out to dinner, and when I got there, found she had also asked about 30 of my best (old and not so old) friends. The hubub in the room at the restaurant was the sweetest music I've heard in a lo... |
