| Rega 25 TT is playing slow Yes, I'll bet the motor's metal spindle has come loose from the surrounding black plastic "sprocket". You can probably lift it right off. - This was my experience and Steve Laurman (sp / w apology), Knoxville Rega importer, suggested I just super ... | |
| Is Audio Research PH3 phono the best for today's price? I used to own the Ph 3 (tube)and thought very highly of it. However, you should compare it to the Aragon 47K (SS). They are so close, I sold my PH 3 and pocketed the $700 difference. Yes, the tubes have ever slightly better harmonics - better for ... | |
| reliable tube sources I have dealt with all three of the above mentioned tube afficianados. All are very reputable,knowledgeable and helpful as well as being nice guys. Additionally, Adondysh , another "audiogoner" has - in my experience - proven himself and deserves m... | |
| Pre-amp with great phonostage (tube) Mikey (Fremer) likes the Audible Illusions Modulus M3A. Oh, did I forget to mention that I have one for sale? (MM Phono would be good w/high output Grado. Sincerely, truman. | |
| PASSIVE Preamp and LIFELESSNESS? Just to "second" Trelja, I too have been suprised by a dealer who, having set up a fine high-end system, listened to our raves, only then revealed to us that the preamp was the hidden, passive Creed OBH-12! We must all learn to trust our (own) ears. | |
| Record cleaner recs? Whoever told you about the Disk Doctor solution/felt pads cleaning system was "right on". Even my old albums sound like new! I know it sounds too good to be true, it's not even expensive. This is what they use in museums on old collections. Get ri... | |
| Magnum Dynalab MD-208 I was very impressed with the warm (but powerful) sound, compact solid construction and beautiful presentation of the MD-208. It is driven by Sim-Audio (integrated) who I believe make solid state quite acceptable for even us tube lovers. Magnum Dy... | |
| Aronov Amplifiers - Opinions? Aronov equipment is underrated. I own two preamps and a set of monoblocks in various systems. It is truly very musical equipment - especially with the amps (110W ea.,4 - 6550's w/autobiasing) fed by a Powersnake Black Mambas. The approach is minim... | |
| <2K amp for Shearwaters I too, used to have the Shearwaters (Hot Rods) and Marantz 63 SE. These speakers really do like tubes, Jay. I have heard them on Rogue equip. and they sounded great, so I concur w/prev. post. My best friend has them with Jolida 502B ($700 used) w/... | |
| Tube recommendation for SFL1 I have a NOS unused Mullard for the Sonic Frontiers SFl-1 Siganture I used to have I got from the Parts Connection. I'd part with it for $ 35. I also have a Telefunken I got from Kevin deal with about 60 hours on it for $145. They are quite rare. | |
| Need FM/AM tuner, suggestions I just saw that there is a Magnum Dynalab T-11 for sale on the "new today" page (not mine) for sale. They don't make those anymore because there was scant profit & it was too hard to sell the more expensive 101's which sound about the same!I o... | |
| Anyone heard a Belles 400-A amp? Yes, I have one and although I have a lot of stuff listed for sale currently, my Belles 400A is not. Had mine upgraded by David Belles personally not too long ago(good man). As you may (or may not) recall, the Belles amps created quite a stir in t... |
