| Tube replacement for Dynaco ST 70 Firstly, I would encourage you to contact Will Vincent himself.But my understanding is that his amps are incredibly close and true to the original Dynaco ST70. That being the case, this should not be considered a heavily modified unit.Most would c... | |
| tubed sacd players under $5000 Knowing Mrtennis' penchant for warm sound, as much as I respect the Modwright, it would not suit the bill. The Linn is more a possibility. Given the small number of SACD players, and even smaller count that would meet the mark, I'm thinking this w... | |
| A reasonably priced CD player with volume control The Quad CDP is another player to consider. Though I've heard good things about it, I've not listened to the player myself. | |
| A reasonably priced CD player with volume control Any of the 6922/6DJ8 tube output Dynaco machines are a decent choice.You could argue they being long in the tooth, but occasionally, you'll come across one NIB. Also, despite their age, I find these Japanese manufactured machines hold up far, far ... | |
| New York Show Equipment Review Thanks very much for your exceptionally well written report on the show, D.H. Great job!I have to say the most discouraging aspect of the show for me was the age of the attendees. At 42, my friend and I were easily among the younger crowd at the e... | |
| Where Have All the 2A3 Amps Gone Mdblank, "Deja Vu Audio in Virginia sells a 2A3 amp. But I don't know if it's an SET or push-pull."It is push-pull, about 15 watts, true (required two power cords) dual mono. Vu used vintage transformers in them, along with a level parts through m... | |
| Worth Going to 'THE SHOW' IN NYC IN APRIL I attended the show on Friday as well. Though I was worried about the abbreviated show hours, Friday seemed like the best compromise. Saturday looked like it could turn into an absolute mob scene. By Sunday exhibitors are drained, want to go home,... | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend Thank you for initiating this thread, Audiodynamo. My deepest and heartfelt condolences. Paul was a wonderful Audiogoner whose participation here left us all with his presence. He and his always terrific contributions to the discussion will be sad... | |
| Where Have All the 2A3 Amps Gone I believe the 2A3 has long suffered from looking bad on paper. The 300B that audiophiles hold in such high esteem gets most of the attention, and making twice as much power likely explains a lot of that. Give the tube a chance, and it would likely... | |
| Oh, to be a high end dealer for a year. I recently visited one of my local high-end audio dealers, a great store which has been in business since 1984.Looking around the place as well as at him and his only salesman proved downright painful. Needless to say, they were more than gloomy a... | |
| Quicksilver V4 vs Manley Snappers Gwng8, the V4 versus Snapper decision is a difficult one for me, as it comes down to a chocolate or vanilla kind of thing. Which one is best depends on personal taste.However, bringing up the Neo Classic 250s shifts the argument into a different d... | |
| Quicksilver V4 vs Manley Snappers Goldprintaudio, "Trelja--FYI-- You can order the Snappers with a Triode/Ultralinear switch option. I order this on all my demo Snappers."That was actually what I was trying to convey, but didn't do a very good job of it. I definitely prefer the lu... | |
| Quicksilver V4 vs Manley Snappers Like Missioncoonery, I've also been around both a lot.Like both a great deal. In terms of companies, you're dealing with excellence on either side. When it comes to heat, the V4s are definitely warmer, though certainly not to the point where it sh... | |
| Tube sites/books, recommendations please Pdreher, "BTW, don't stop with just getting a tubed preamp... you have to go the full distance and switch to a tube amplifier. Trust me... once you try a decent tube amp, you won't ever be satisfied with solid state."I completely agree, and feel t... | |
| Audio stuff I've lost in my own home... Well, this thread must have been a harbinger of good things.The Coincident IC turned up this evening after my spending something like a year looking for it. Thanks, everyone! |
