| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? Gibson Custom Shop (bought new 1/06) reissued 1957 Les Paul Custom Historic Black Beauty (Ebony with gold trim & hardware & 3 burstbuster pickups). My guitar amp is a Fender reissue 65' Super Reverb- (all tube). Sweet sound! The guitar was... | |
| Egglestonworks Andra II: How difficult a load? Most everyone is mentioning amplifiers. I think that the preamplifier is just as important. I own a pair of Egglestonworks Andra II's, which are being driven by a pair of Pass Labs 600.5 monoblocks. When being driven directly by my Wadia cd player... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones About two weeks ago, I finally got around to cleaning the fuse in my Wadia 581se cd/sacd player, which has a Great Northern Sound Statement upgrade. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a HiFi fuse. I called Steve @ GNS and he said that it makes a ni... | |
| Audio Research REF 3 It's probably your power tube. The stock 6550 power tube is run fairly hot and runs out of steam at about 1100 hours--clarity and dynamics diminish. You need a matched replacement 6550 tube from Audio Research. They will want the number written on... | |
| Spade connectors from Romex to outlet? Hi Keith, I've done alot of experimenting with dedicated power over the past year or two. 10 gauge AWG is very hard to work with, especially if you are installing the 10 gauge under the neutral and hot screws on the sides of the duplex outlet. It ... | |

| Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps Hi AudioFeil, I think that the XP-20 was used at a couple audio shows in Europe a few months ago and I was hoping that perhaps it has been shown (and heard) at a US audio show as well. The XP-20 lists for $8800 and Pass Labs told me that it sounds... | |
| Tubes for the BAT VK5i Hello, When I owned a Bat vk5i, I was running early 1960's Amperex 7308 white label PQ USA and 1958 Tungsol 5881's. It had plenty of bass slam. It was also musical, clear and detailed. It soundstaged well too. I attribute the bass slam to the Tung... | |
| What amp would be good for the Aerial 7b's Conrad Johnson matches well with Aerial. I used to own a pair of Aerial 7b's for several years. I matched them with a Conrad Johnson 2500A solid state stereo amp, a Bat vk5i tubed preamp (with early 1960's NOS 7308 Amperex white label PQ USA small... | |
| Pre Amp for Pass Labs X150.5 Hello Driver, To my knowledge preamp output impedance doesn't effect volume. Matching of impedance just assures that the entire audio signal is passed. I looked up your X150.5's input impedance last night @ the Pass Labs website. According to Pass... | |
| Pre Amp for Pass Labs X150.5 Hello, I'm running a pair of Pass Labs X600.5 monoblock amps, which, like your X150.5 amp, have an input impedance of 22kohms balanced, and a Pass labs X0.2 preamp. The output impedance of the Pass Labs XO.2 preamp is 200 ohms unbalanced & 750... | |
| looking for good detailed and warm player Meridian 508.24 is a very analog sounding player and had one of the lowest jitter measurements--(144 picoseconds)- ever measured by Stereophile at the time. An excellent player for the money, if you can find one used. Excellent low level detail re... | |
| Want to buy an Audio Dharma cable cooker Yesterday, I ordered an Audio Dharma Pro cable cooker after talking to Alan for about 20 minutes. He went into detail about cable cooking techniques. He seems like a very nice and smart gentleman too. Delivery should be in about 2 weeks. I think t... | |
