| Wierd Phono problem - what causes this? I'll bet your right and left channel + & -'s are reversed in some fashion at the cartridge. | |
| Three Cheers for Pass Labs I, too, would like to second the three cheers! It's a wonderful surprise to have Nelson himself pick up the phone, as he did with me several year's ago. Also, Peter is the best. They have always been most helpful and generous in, yes.... the old M... | |
| iPod question-how to import uncompressed... Actually, Apple lossless is the way to go if you've got plenty of disk space ...and probably your "default" choice. It does compress, using 1/2 the disk space but restores to 100% - don't ask me how they do it. So you may be OK unless you changed ... | |
| Melos Audio restoration To be helpful, I've found a very capable technician and amp builder, Bene,here in Atlanta : http://www.aminaaudio.com.He has repaired/restored/modded my Melos SE 75's monoblocks to be deadly quiet with more headroom than before.- Not affiliated ot... | |
| IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER This sounds like a classic phase problem. Yes, try a mono recording if you have one, or a regular stereo one if not. Switch the positive and the negative on one (only) of your speakers. Perhaps you have purchased a (used?) pre-amp/you don't have t... | |
| Big beautilful tube amp Older VAC 30/30 or 70/70. Beautiful array of 300B's Nice Brass vintage VACMedallion, great sound. | |
| Looking for a good phono preamp solid state... Used Aragon 47K w/outboard IPE power supply would be my choice. | |
| Question for First Sound Owners Open up your Pre and check to see that the 0S2 tubes are good - as the Pre will work with just the 6922's- but just not sound near as good.Truman/Atlanta..By the way, I do have one listed for a great price. Do a search/First Presence. | |
| Best Amp for Audible Illusions 3A tube or SS John Rutan of Audio Connection in NJ sold hundreds of the AI M3A preamps for Art Ferris - and one to me. His contention was that a match made in heaven was the Audible Illusions with solid state Belles amps. These dealers get a chance to try out a... | |
| Good value phono preamp for MM cartridge Used Aragon 47K for around $300 will serve you well...if you can find one. Plus, it does MC if & when the time comes. You can add a bigger IPS power supply for a bit more umph as an eventual upgrade if you wish. About $600 new, I found it to b... | |
| Best Values and worst values in SS and tube amps ? I'll "third" Aronov tube gear as being great (used) value ! I haven't found anything to bettter drive my Gallo Nucleus Ref's than the Aronov 110W Monos (4 conservatively driven 6550C's or KT 88's ea,) for the price. I used to have Pass Aleph 2.s. | |
| Pass Labs Service Peter is the best! Pleased to be able to share my appreciation. A lightning strike fried a few resistors in my Aleph P. Pass fixed it and returned it at no charge within a week and even paid return shipping ! Exemplary service not matched by the l... | |
| Best KT88's for an Mc 2000 ? Any suggestions I just have to back up bobgates when he sings the praises of the Tesla (new improved) KT-88's! -also from Steve at Quest for Sound. They seriously bettered the 6550C Svetlanas in my Aronov 110w Monos powering Gallo Nucleus Reference Spkrs. More "a... | |
| Cable recomendations for VTL/Spendor One of the nicest set-ups with VTL and Spendor(and this is a nice set-up) was using Van den Hul ultimate interconnect. I heard it here in Atlanta at Jim Keene's Audio Essence - I don't mind giving a plug when it's well deserved. I felt this was de... | |
| Conrad Johnson 17LS Stock Tubes I'd just like to second Fatparrot's suggestion that you contact Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services. I have dealt with him before. He is very reputable and stands behind his products. I have also had excellent dealings with Kevin Deal of Upscale ... |
