| Your top 3 worst purchases ever Vandersteen 2W sub- sounded great. Seller rated it 7; it was more like a 3. Water stains on cloth (which was an undisclosed replacement), Veener mostly gone, mdf corners totally ragged, top repainted w flat black w wax stains. Luckily, as a sub I ... | |
| cd player not reading a disc? Laser dirty? Hey, thanks Mental. Never thought of looking for that on u-toob. My 3910 gets erratic disk read errors and eventually stops reading altogether. I had to bring it in for service, but I bet I can follow a DIY video. I'll give it a try. | |
| Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp Charlesldad- Good idea but the Wavac is long gone (but I do see it still floating around A'gon land, it's distinctive by the dimple on the back of one of the transformer housings). I guess my system page really needs updating. Thx for the thought,... | |
| Whats the total gain of CJ Premier 3 phono input? Pedro- Your english is fine. Yes, you have to sum the phono and line stage gains; total pre-amp gain is 68 dB. You can use the KAB gain calculator found here to look into this further, but that is probably plenty for most LOMCs. | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Where can you get a pair of Coincident Dragons for $6500? PM me thru Agon system if you don't want to post it here. | |
| Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp No problem, Iso. To all, right now I am using Doshi-modified Lectron JH-50 (60 wpc 6CA7 push pull). My VAC 30/30 (30 wpc push pull) has a fault so it's temporarily on the sideline. I've been curious to hear what the buzz about the Franks is all ab... | |
| Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp Never thought to search the Virtual Systems. Thx, Charles. | |
| a strange noise now coming from my tube amp Good advice from Jea48 as it would separate a bad tube from bad contacts. | |
| a strange noise now coming from my tube amp Next thing to do is to swap the tubes from one channel to another, one pair at a time. This will allow you to isolate whether is a tube and if so, which tube. | |
| White Audio Labs B2 amp...any info? Yep, clearly labeled power consumption. | |
| White Audio Labs B2 amp...any info? You're welcome, Beemerrider. The 360 watts on the back plate may be the electrical draw @ 117 volts, not audio power output. Just a guess. | |
| EXPERIENCED VAC USERSmost bang for the buck Liszt- Given the other posts, I assumed that you would have told us if that conversation had occurred. My bad. As we all know (and can be verified independently here), this is a dangerous thing to do. You are correct; your relationship w Kevin is ... | |
| Preamp with XLR input under 1k? You might get lucky w a used BAT VK3i at that $. | |
| EXPERIENCED VAC USERSmost bang for the buck I general I would always suggest getting the best possible pre-amp, all other things being equal. I'm also sensing an undercurrent that perhaps Liszt458 may not be in a position to contact VAC directly if he is "reselling" the equipment. | |
| Subwoofer amp question. No reason at all, Froggie ;-) |
