| VPI SDS question I read somewhere here that it has to do with the classic motor,,, do a search or contact VPI.Good luck.Tony | |
| Thoughts on using Sony PS3? rare 60gb SACD version I had a newer PS3 80gb and the fan noise was unbearable. However when reading up on fan replacements (which I never did) I saw it mentioned that the early PS3's had a quieter 9 blade fan so it may not be an issue for you. | |
| Dynaudio C1 with more impact FWIW, speaker mounting can make a dramatic difference. I found loading the stands (Dynaudio Stand 2) with sand had a noticeable positive improvement on the over all sound, with my Special 25's. The type of coupling used under the speaker (to the s... | |
| Duntech repairs? I sold a pair a while back to a buddy who refinished them. You are right the original Marquis (PLC) were fitted with Dynaudio drivers. If I remember right it cost him about $300 a driver and they were very difficult to get.However if you can fine ... | |
| VPI SDS owners- Sounds like an isolation issue, that is over time your table is moving around a tad. Slight movements when you change the cart... just a thought. Btw I have the same table and my SDS is always spot on. I also use a 1000g clamp. Both the table and ... | |
| Tubes for Modulus 3A You should get your tubes from him... more often than not it is better IMO to go to the manufacturer.Tony | |
| Tubes for Modulus 3A The differnce between a 3a and 3b is about 12 months of wait time. All joking aside Art made severial refinements (I would need to review the manual) but I was never able to pin him down. That being said it's a great unit.Sorry I can't be of more ... | |
| Tubes for Modulus 3A I use cryo'ed 6H23-EB's with Herbie Tube Dampers in my AI Mod3b. I also use 3 cones (points down) for isolation.Tony | |
| Floor stands for tube amps Cheap and easy... Bamboo craving board with halved tennis balls underneath. | |
| Looking for New Speakers - Suggestions What's your buget? I've heard Marten Design Birds at concert levels as well as the older Dunlavy IV's... both will blow your doors off. Pair the birds with big VTL mono blocks and you will never look back. Who knows you might even start enjoyong l... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe? I have no experience with the Wilsons, however I went from a McIntosh MC402 (400 watts, solid state) driving Dynaudio Special 25s (88db, 4ohm) to a VTL ST-150 and have absolutely no regrets. The VTL is a wonderful amp based upon the 6550 tube. I... | |
| Smooth Sounding Tube Amps that Can drive ATC Have you considered VTL? They make great amps that can drive anything. You may want to look into a ST-150. It rocks! | |
| Monitors to replace Dynaudio Confidence C1's Ryder, I beg to differ... What are you driving your set with?I'm driving my Marten Dukes with Manley Labs Series 100 Mono's using circa 1960's Mullard EL34 tubes and Crimsom wires all around. It's one of the most life like speakers I've ever owned... | |
| Monitors to replace Dynaudio Confidence C1's Nothing comes close to the sound and appearance of the Marten Design Dukes. I just replaced my Special 25s after many years with absolutely no remorse. Paired with Crimson speaker wire and powered by VTL magic (aka ST-150), Ive stopped making ad... | |
| How much does CD player affect overall sound? A lot, but so does everything else. There really is something to system matching. That said, I would have to ask what you feel you are missing that a new CDP would bring to the table. Youve got some nice gear, however both the CJ and the B&W... |
