| Stevie Ray Vaughan Actually, it just came up on jango today and I really enjoyed it. | |
| A Paypal Offer - Is This Secure? Best way to be 100% sure is to accept only bank transfer to your account. Just make sure you understand if/what your bank will charge you and account for that. if it's a big transaction, it will almost undoubtedly be cheaper than paypal and once t... | |
| Vandersteen 2W frustration IIRC, the gain control is rotary. If so, try using contact cleaner or failing that, rotate it back and forth over its entire range very rapidly 10 or so times, then recheck the output. It may be as simple as corroded or dirty contacts after all th... | |
| what differentiates tube integrated amps? Also some of it is, I think, because there are OEM manufacturers whose products are marketed under more than one name. | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier Let me tell you, JMcgrogan2-If you get a Ren 30/30, be VERY careful moving it onto and off of a shelf. It not only weighs 100 lbs, the weight is NOT evenly distributed. Easy to have an accident and shipping it back for a repair is $$. Great amp, t... | |
| Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond V Look on the bright side, it cuts down on house calls.And I hear it keeps the elephants (and flying saucers) away ;-) | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Syntax- ?????Lewm- No I have not tried ripping LPs. analog gets played on my table, digital on the server (save for about a dozen or 2 SACDs which go into my Exemplar 3910). | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Yep, that's me. Deep in the muck and mire at work AND at play. I'm self employed, put in long hours and LOVE the convenience of my MusicVault/Modwright Transporter. I've tons of LPs from the good old days and buy an occasional new one, but until I... | |
| Phono Preamp Gain Question Just remember that there are at least two different test conditions that are used to determine cart output. ZYX LOMCs are specified at 0.25 or 0.28 but the test conditions make that equivalent to almost 50% higher output when equated to more typic... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Lewm- Agree completely that correlation does not say anything about causation but remember we were trying to identify factor potentially responsible for differences between carts of same basic architecture; presumably w same cantilevers, stylus, b... | |
| Which amps cannot be repaired locally? There are other companies that function that way. The most "famous/infamous" is Levinson. Or worse; the U.S. importer of Sonus Faber won't even repair their speakers unless you can prove it was purchased from authorized U.S. retailer. | |
| Tube preamp for $2,000 Modwright, First Sound, Joule and VAC come to mind. Not sure which have remote. | |
| To Preamp Or Not To Preamp Vac 30/30 MkII +1 Charles1dad on the amp and the demand for a great pre-amp. It is a great amp (I own one) and am have always been of the opinion that a pre-amp is the heart and soul of the system. Never heard the Coincident but from all reports it is very very ... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Lewm- I don't have nearly your experience or expertise in analog in general or carts in particular, but aren't most of the metrics that Doug was talking about (speed, micro-dynamics, clean leading and trailing edges) have more to w responsiveness ... | |
