| Good Phono Stage for Benz Micro Ace. Aqvox 2CI.I use this with a PL2.Have heard this unit combined with a Benz Ruby with excellent results.Of course the budget would need to move toward $995. | |
| Vinyl Front End Upgrade I can highly recommend the Aqvox 2CI MKII phonostage.Have heard it with the Allaetrs,Benz and Koetsu.Each had its' own signature.Adjustable gain on front panel allows for fine-tuning:very helpful.Thinking of pairing mine with a Dyna XX-2 for my ne... | |
| Dorm Room Amp/Preamp Winsome Labs' Mouse-30/45W and musical.Small chassis.Been very impressed with mine driving full-range monitors.Alps Blue-Velvet volume is recommended. | |
| Oppo 83 transport and DAC Take a look at the Citypulse 7.2X ($469).I use this unit with a 981 and a Z-Systems RDP-1,with good results. | |
| Triplanar RCA out to Balanced out for MP-1 The turntable/arm ground wire should be used as the XLR ground.The +/non-inverted and the -/inverted signal will go to the respective terminals on the XLR,as these are floating +/-. | |

| Need Help Choosing a Tube Preamp for a Classe Amp What characteristics are you interested in?Mullard CV-4004/M8137 or Brimar:warmer/fuller tonal balanceSiemens/Amperex:linear with good transient behavior.I'm sure there will be other recommendations to come. | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers You might look at 2-way speakers with multiple woofers (2 or more).First order crossovers usually function the best at performing the task at hand.Seating distance can also be important in steeper sloped crossovers. My experience with B&Ws has... | |
| Need Help Choosing a Tube Preamp for a Classe Amp How about the First Sound Presence or Wyetech Opal? Is a phono stage a necessity? | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers When you fell in "love" with the speaker,do you use the same gear as during the audition? Your gear may compliment the Klipsch,but not be synergistic with the B&Ws. | |
| Jadis with Telefunken 12AX7/ECC83 tubes That was my reaction to the Teles.You might try the Shuguang triple-mica G8/G9s.The driver tubes can moderate this effect (12au s ?),maybe the Mazda /Clifte french military. | |
| 12AX7A and AT7 tubes I believe Dougs' tubes has them (8+9G).At least they did as of earlier this year.I sent two friends for them.I bought 8 matched off E-bay some years ago for about $5/ea. | |
| 12AX7A and AT7 tubes Try the Shuguang triple mica 12ax7s (G9).These were discontinued,but still available.About $10-11/ea. | |
| Dedicated lines & outlet setup question I would suggest running one line.This will avoid any ground-loops.I used the Jena Labs outlets and painted all the surfaces with E-SST. | |
| Anyone Familiar With These Infinity QLS 1s? I owned a pair of the QLS.The woofers don't keep pace with the tweeters and need Power.I was more satisfied with the Acoustat 3s,more coherent.Driver replacement will be a problem,should it occur.As mentioned,the RS-1s will yield better results an... |
