| 12AT7 tubes How does the EI fall into this group? They came stock with my stingray. Another member has a set of teles Im interesting in. Thanks | |
| Tubes for Manley Stingray Has anyone here had an opportunity to try out the Electro-Harmonix EL84 ? Was wondering how it might compare to the stock and JJ. | |
| Kubala and Oritek Mattheus, I tried the Fasination ICs and Speaker cables. Was an interesting comparison. Be nice to be able to come up with the best traits of each and put them into one.. Holy Grail quest I suppose. | |
| Kubala and Oritek Hey all, just wanted to update anyone thats interested. I had an opportunity to A-B them on my system. They are both terrific cables with suttle differences. The kubala has a softer presentation with a very warm and rich midrange. But, the bass di... | |
| Kubala and Oritek Thanks RC, I'm being overly critical. They certianly have a very involving sound. Just soooo many choices out there. I'm just trying to narrow it down to a couple prior to making a commitment. I guess power cords are a whole other ball of wax. | |
| Cleaning old record collection.. advise please Great!!! Thanks for all the replies. Think I will start off by cleaning a few of the good ones and see how they play prior to investing in all the gear (VPI, turntable, phonostage, etc.). I've been reading up on turntables as well. Seems like ther... | |
| Cleaning old record collection.. advise please oops and Rushton | |
| Cleaning old record collection.. advise please Steve, I guess I'll clean a few (good and bad) and see if I can audition them someplace to verify the condition prior to making a commitment to a turntable and phonostage. I wasnt sure what impact mildew had. Didn't find anything when I did search... | |
| amp/preamp combo for sonus faber cremona auditors Im using a manely stingray with aural symphonic cables on my auditors. Excellent system match. However, I think that amp might fall short of your expectations for your room size. But I would certianly suggest you audition the combo if possible. Th... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors / Manley Stingray?? I'll try to see if I can audition a stingray with the speakers as well, being that is my 1st choice. Wonderfull little amp. Just hopeing it's a good system match. When I first heard the stingray I was quite pleased. We tried a missing link power c... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors / Manley Stingray?? I had a CAV50 when it first came out. I was not impressed with that unit. The sound seemed compressed and dark. It did have a fair amount of detail it revealed, but the tonal signature was not to my likeing. It's been a while since I heard it, but... | |
| CJ CAV 50 vs. VTL IT 85 vs. Rogue Tempest I also owned a CAV 50. My impression of the amp is, it's abit colored, and slow in the timing domain. It is kind of a dark sounding amp. Might marry well with a pair of brighter speakers. After carefull listening, it is not a bad amp for the money... | |
| Vote for the Best Preamp: Audion, Jadis, ARC or CJ You should consider a CAT or Joule Electra. The CAT is a fantastic pre-amp. Crystal clear transparency. The Joule, although very good for the money, creates a very slight drop out on the upper mid range. Bottom line is, it's all about system match... | |
| Favorite integrated amp? I would avoid the Krell 300. I had one. It was very edgey and grainey. Good base control, but the accentuated upper freq. was too much for my tastes. |
