| A new phono stage How about a Tron preamp with phono on money back terms if you don't like it. I picked up my Tron preamp from Graham Tricker at GT Audio in the UK today. I asked him if he would let US buyers buy one and return it they weren't satisfied. He will, p... | |
| A new phono stage How about Tron Syren preamp (http://www.tron-electric.com). The Trons are designed to be silent - like absolutely silent with tubes and Avantgarde Horns. Edward Barker has just named it as one of his finds of 2004 (http://www.6moons.com/industryfe... | |
| Speakers for vocalists Avantgarde Horns and tube amps. I have AG Duos driven by my tube amps (Verdier Control B preamp and valve psu and Quad IIs) and a vinyl front end (Platine Verdier, Schroeder model 2, Allaerts MC1B). Vocalists really ARE in the room with you. Liste... | |
| Acapella Versus Avantgarde I haven't heard the acapellas. However, I do own the Avantgarde Duos; I can't really see myself upgrading these now. I use them with my Platine Verdier, Schroeder model 2, Allaerts MC1B driven by Verdier Control B tube preamp with dedicated valve ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I've had my Quad IIs since 1981 -still use them in my main system. I've had them rebuilt twice by Quad first and then GT Audio (manufacturer of Tron high end tube amps). They now sport phono sockets instead of the 6 pin Jones plugs and have separa... | |
| ultimate best speakers ever- now under 15K Avantgarde Duos. I've bought mine - my best ever upgrade. Needs proper setup. I had mine setup by the UK importer GT Audio, who came to my home - great service. | |
| Two Tonearm Turntable: Need Suggestions The Platine comes with 2 armboards as standard. The motor is normally only 2 speed. However, Graham Tricker at GT Audio in the UK does a bespoke battery PSU for the Platine. He is not averse to bespoke electronics, so he might well be able to adap... | |
| I need a quiet tube amp You should try the TRON high end tube amplifiers made by Graham Tricker at GT Audio in the UK. They are absolutely top class and designed to work with effcient speakers (Avantgarde Horns) and are absolutely SILENT. He makes a preamplifier (with MC... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm I agree with Frank. It costs a fair bit to distribute and advertise. Like frank, I'm surprised if you didn't get a reply from GT Audio.I bought my Schroeder Model 2 from Graham Tricker at GT Audio in the UK. I have known Graham for over 10 years a... | |
| New Turntable Verdier is one of the best names in high end TTs - good enough for me to spend my hard earned pounds on one. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-1 MK3F I gather that Garrott Bros aren't interested in retipping unlike the orginal brothers. I was thinking of getting my Garrott Bros decca retipped, but the UK distributor for New Garrott said that the new company weren't interested any more in rebuil... | |
| Avantgarde Horns - amps you've tried and love? I'm still using my Quad IIs. They've been rebuilt by Graham Tricker at GT Audio (maker of the Tron brand of british high end tube amps). I've heard the Duos with Tron's 300B monoblocks and 845 monoblocks. Both are very good.The important thing abo... | |
| Avantgarde UNO's 2.2 advice needed Although the speaker placement you are constrained by is not great, you will probably still be able to make them sing. In my setup (Duos 2.2 in a room 35x20 with Verdier tube preamp and Quad IIs with Platine Verdier TT), I don't really worry about... | |
| Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's The AG horns have an immediacy and transparency to match the ELSs. They are renowned for their dynamic range and ability to fill a room. No problems with driving them - they only need 3-4 W!! The bass problems with the subs is much better in the n... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D cartridge problems If you DV17 is knackered, why not just exchange it for a new DV17 or get it rebuilt by a Dyna dealer? Dyna certainly do rebuilds or exchange new carts in the UK. Should be the same in US surely? |
