| Lyra Argo i or Shelter 5000? I agree with Nolitan and the above comments. | |
| first sound preamp When I worked at Salon 1 Audio,this was one of my favorites.Tube rolling is very easy-only two 6922s (Siemens or Amperex).Very open and airy,with good tonal saturation.Dual volume controls may take some time to get used to.All comments pertain to ... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue IMS:I believe the 88s are more "full-range".Adjust warmth through the driver/input tubes.If the power is not an issue,the auto-bias works w/o a hitch.The "stock PL tubes" have a slightly forward sound.Rolling the 12au/ax tubes makes a significant ... | |
| Need help with cart and phono stage Moving up the line should bring more to the table:10X>>17d.The output of the cartridges needs to be watched,as phono stages' gain and noise rejection become issues. Thw Aqvox states that it will accept .1mV through its' balanced input.Gettin... | |
| Phono stage for tube system - recommendations? For SS phono,don't overlook the Aqvox 2CI.It is a sleeper.Great soundstage,timbre and PRAT.I use mine with a tube integrated-simply delightful. | |
| VAC Avatar Super and Mc 2275 Were the B&W 803s the Diamond series?? I have heard these driven with 38W/ch.If Matrix or Nautilus,then the tubes were having trouble with the impedance/crossover. | |
| Primaluna and Rogue I prefer the KT-88 equiped PrimaLunas. | |
| Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar Breezer:When did you receive your Verito?? I understand that a change was made on the last production run.These are being exchanged,as they have no lower mids,mid bass,bass.I sent mine back-it did have a wonderful top-end,but with the other elemen... | |
| Need help with cart and phono stage The p-75 was good at its' price point.The Aqvox is in a different league.The cartridges retain more of their original signature (Benz,Koetsu,Allaerts,Allnic).It is much more transparent and has gain to burn. At $1000,there are many different cartr... | |
| Need help with cart and phono stage The P-75 has a similiar circuit to the Aqvox 2CI.I thought the Dyna was good,but the Aqvox takes off from there.The 17d cart would be a better upgrade.Using the balanced input is well worth the effort. I am well aware of budget constraints.But by ... | |
| ASR Emitter 1 , Does can drive B&W 802d ? My friend runs his very successfully with a PL2 (38W/ch). | |
| threaded heavyfeet question Changed my aluminum feet on my Bluenote to the brass footers.Nice improvement.Price them through Edensound and go with the cheapest route. | |
| Coaching wanted on how to get back into vinyl Contact dealers in your area.Go out and listen,until something strikes you and you can establish a "baseline".You might as well use a "local" dealer.That way you won't run into mounting or compatability issues. | |
| Sub s for Dali Megaline system 2nd Albert Porter.He had just mentioned adding subs and was considering 2-3 different units. | |
| Crossover Tutorial I would speak with Albert (VSA),and ask if the crossover is straight-forward or using delays.If you cascade the out-board crossover with those on the interior,you will change the slopes drasticly.If using the OB crossover,the crossovers internally... |
