| I bought a TT--Need a phonopre Just a quick browse:Audio Horizons TP-8.0 home auditionAcoustech.Krell KPE,EAR and Musical Surroundings Phonomena. Time to read some reviews and also keep an eye open for comparatively priced units mentioned. | |
| A turntable? Botit:No you don't need another phono stage. By "package",it is meant to be -table/tonearm/cartridge.Most have these ready to plug-n-play. | |
| Which speaker did TAS put in place of Gallo 3 Is Gallo dis-continueing the 3.1s,in favor of the 3.5.Or will they still build both?Goatwuss makes some valid statements concerning TAS/magazine reviews. | |
| Quality inversely related to power output? I am of the "first watt" camp.If you don't get the first one "correct",then the rest doesn't matter. It is much harder to get multiples to act as one/two.That being said,you'll never drive 86/88db efficient speakers with 3W to a desireable level. | |
| A turntable? I would suggest a "package",completely set-up w/either a MM/MI or hi-output MC.Can we make the assumption that the Pioneer has a phono input? Rega and Music Hall MMFs will be fine.Check Acoustic Sounds,Music direct and your local dealer-plenty of ... | |
| Gallo vs. Quads ESL 57 The Polk SDAs were okay in their time,somewhat dark.Not in the league of either speaker mentioned previously. | |
| Tube Phono-Stage question. Rick:What do you like/dislike,with the "current" tubes? It would be easier to make recommendations. | |
| Tube Phono-Stage question. Buy used.It is possible that a different set of tubes would hield different results. Had you experimented with loading? | |
| Gallo vs. Quads ESL 57 It is a matter of mating tweeters/woofers to take the load off that midrange.I tried the Decca and RTRs,though I would think the CDTs or Lineaum di-pole might be a better match.Then there are the crossovers:Dahlquist and an EC-3 or?? I tried to st... | |
| Remarkable systems on a budget Oppo 981/Winsome Labs Mouse/Radio Shack LX-5 IIor LX-10/Parts-Connection IC/HD-14 SC.Under $1000.229/419/85 or 160/80/15.If you want phono,maybe another $3-400.NAD/CJ Walker or Rebel?? | |
| small ish floor standers WAF 5-8K Gallo or Reference #A Veena/Grand.Sonus Faber-WAF. | |
| best cartridge for phono aqvox Allaerts Eco/MC-1b.Great combo-couldn't be happier. | |
| Gallo vs. Quads ESL 57 Two different sounding devices.Had the 57s matched up with the Hartley,then M&K 12s and finally the Mag/Tym IIIb bass panels.My Gallos are modified:time-aligned the larger CDT and configured for a 9 ohm load. You really are comparing apples-or... | |
| Can we go back to 33's please? Agree with Thomasheisig:The original RCAs sound better than the re-issues.Must be the original tube driven units-more natural/organic.Especially "Bob n Ray". I believe the analogy between running reel-to-reel decks holds true for analog:The faster... | |
| Sub or Amp Where do you tie-in to the B&Ws (mid/hi or bass)? Have you replaced the "straps/jumpers" ? |
