| Eggleston Andra 2 owners I took a look at Bob Ludwig's setup. One pair Egglestonworks Ivy-$100,000 and five Egglestonworks Andra II's for surround sound. Amplification is: two bridged Cello Performance Mark II Amps (6000 watt peaks) and Transparent cabling throughout. Stan | |
| emmlabs into wall outlet or into shunyata hydra? Hi Michael, I'm using the EMM Labs CDSA CD-SACD player, which is their new one box player. Also, it's still breaking in at 600 hours playing time. I'm using an Electraglide Epiphany on the EMM Labs player right now, so my results might change with... | |
| emmlabs into wall outlet or into shunyata hydra? Hello Karmapolice, I have an original Shunyata Hydra line conditioner with a Shunyata Anaconda Alpha Helix powercord going to the wall. I also have an Electraglide Epiphany powercord on my EMM Labs cd/sacd player, which is plugged into the Hydra. ... | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? I just want a system that will make me do "the church lady dance"--from Saturday Night Live. Stan | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? Hi Tvad, That would probably be the amps. I'd love to get a tube amp, or a nice turntable for that matter, but I've got the WAF to be concerned about. Besides, I've already spent way too much money on the system in the last few years and my wife d... | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? Hello all, Thanks for all your input. This has turned into an interesting post. It's taken me two and a half years to bring my system to the level that it's at today. I thought that it was well matched, resolute, dynamic, live sounding--everything... | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? Tvad, I recently retubed a McIntosh MR71 fm tuner. It takes fourteen tubes in all. Most of the tubes that I rolled into the MR71 are Telefunken with a few Amperex in the mix. I'm amazed at the sound that I'm getting. It's the most musical componen... | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? Hello Everyone! Thanks for all you responses. Actually, I've got a pretty good preamp already. I have an Audio Research Reference 3 preamp. I guess what I'm looking for is a tubed equalizer to go between the preamp and amp to add a little musicali... | |
| The original first Hydra with Elrod statement Jfz, There is no way to change out the NEMA that I know of, unless you can get in from the back. Maybe you could use an adapter. Shunyata says that if there is a problem with an original Hydra, they would have to break one of the sides, top or bot... | |
| What polish do you use for your speakers? Fender Mist and Wipe Finish Enhancer-(one of three bottles in Fender's Instrument Care Kit). I also have the Gibson guitar polish, but haven't used it yet. For the granite sides on my speakers, I'm using Stonetech Revitalizer. My speakers have a f... | |

| Where do I make the long run IC or speaker cable? I'm pretty much repeating what's been said...I agree with Elizabeth and Nsgarch. In general, longer interconnects and shorter speaker cables give the lowest signal loss. This is what I've always heard from audio dealers. However, as a former Conra... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Hello, I'd add the gorgeous McIntosh C1000C to your list. It consists of a "control box" (9k) and your choice of a solid state or tube preamplifier section (8k each). It can be used with both tubed and solid state sections together to make a three... | |
| Michigan - Any Interest? Kurtsm and S7horton, I'm originally from Grand Rapids, but moved away when I was 25. I'm now 50. Who knows... we might have gone to the same school... I graduated from Forest Hills Central high school in 1975. Back in the early and mid 70's, the o... | |
| McIntosh C1000 tube pre vs. ARC Ref 3? I've been looking at the ARC REF3 as a possible replacement for my Pass Labs X 0.2 preamp. After reading the Stereophile article on the MAC 1000 at their website and reading the answers on this thread, I'll be looking at the MAC 1000 as well, whic... |
