| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? Hi Erik, I’ve owned a few old Pioneer tables.... The New PLX-1000 does look excellent and I know one person that has one and loves it. Everyone says that you’ll need to adjust the arm bearings right out of the box. For vintage.... The PL-530 is de... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @hilde45 What part of the country do you live in? | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? @atmasphere Ralph, you are always too much of a gentleman to recommend your own products. I personally have seen Ralph give very honest opinions of how other products compare to his own. From what I know, the Atma-sphere amps are direct coupled ... | |
| Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100 Power supply caps are simple, get that done no matter what. On all 3 of my old class a units, cap replacement was a huge improvement. roberjerman is correct, The power supply filter caps are a simple switchout on this unit. | |
| Covering a TV behind your speakers? Typically improves depth of soundstage and if your speakers are 4ft from the back wall or closer, hanging a drape on the entire wall helps. Look hokey. WAF could be a big problem | |
| Anybody hear both the Coda 07x and the Herron vtsp 360? I have sat in front of the 07x several times. It is smooth, articulate and musical.... If that is tube like then ok, but the Coda does not offer any additional warmth or that most people think of when looking for tubes. It is an outstanding pre, b... | |
| Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100 A Bedini 100 will stomp a Parasound HCA-750A.....You would need to move many steps up the Parasound ladder to get in the league. I have never compared them side by side, but I’d say somewhere between the HCA 2200II and the HCA 3500 to get into the... | |
| Build or buy, speaker options @ dprincipato Sorry, I just came back to this thread after a couple of days. Most good designers use air when at all possible. Occasionally, a core is a must because of DCR. A Steel laminated core will not saturate as fast as iron ferrite. ... | |
| Build or buy, speaker options I'm not familiar with the Triangles, so I am only commenting on what could be happening. Unless you listen at volume levels that can cause amp clipping, you should not be saturating cores... First, do you know that the cores are iron for sure or a... | |
| Bose 901 Series ii Wow, what a range of answers. I believe that BillStevenson gave the most reliable answer. I've sat in front of series 2, 3, 4 & 5, of those, I felt series 2 sounded the best. I'd have to ask you what you are trying to achieve. If you ar... | |
| Looking to upgrade my 3-way towers @tomic601 Thanks for the suggestion | |
| Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100 I believe that an Agon member has my old KBA-75.... This is a nice amp, I would love to have it back. | |
| Looking to upgrade my 3-way towers Routeman21, are you anywhere near the st. louis area?I’d like to get a couple of ears on these.Tim | |
| Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100 The amps are price fairly to slightly high. Unless they are rebuilt, then grab one. They really do need to have all electrolytics replaced. I have had in my home 3 classics of the era, when rebuilt, these amplifiers are all very good. Take a loo... | |
| Ported versus sealed speakers: is one type better? Sooo much mis information posted in this thread. Ported or sealed enclosure should be based on the individual driver(woofer) and its requirements. If anyone wants to look at driver spec's here are a few guidelines that will help you understand. ... |
