| Mark Levinson Gurus: Vintage Three Mile Island CW, you must get some large Tube Traps, and various room treatments placed all around. I recommend Argent Room Lenses, since they work, are tall and black, and don't blend in with any type of decor. Also they must stand in specific areas of the ro... | |
| interstage transformers vs. coupling capacitors If interstage transformers are done right, they can sound better than resistor/capacitor coupling. Sun Audio does it right. Harvey(Dr Gizmo) Rosenberg was orgasmic over the Sun Audio kits.I agree that if your speakers can go as deep as you need, t... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Hey, I gotta get some work done. Signing off. | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Hi Pat! | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu I buy all used records off Ebay and A'gon. You can get NM condition ones for under $10 most of the time. I also think that the original prints sound better than the new re-releases anyway. | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu The Studer thing is a pure sine wave power inverter, that allows me to use a 12vdc battery bank to power my preamp, which is the only part of my system which is AC powered. All my other stuff is purely 12vdc battery fed. The inverter takes the 12v... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu You gotta get a good one, and they're not cheap. The best I know of that you can get new, would be the EAR MC3, and the Shelter 411. The good used ones are the Cotter Mk2, like I have, but it has a very funky loading system, and requires soldering... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Well, Max, the Shure should do ok in that arm. I think that maybe you have gone the wrong way in cartridge selection. When you like the sound of Japanese low compliance, low output MC, and then go to American high compliance, high output MM, you h... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Max, what TT/arm are you using it in? | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Yes, the FR-64 was a great one. Still highly regarded today. | |
| 2A3 vs. 300B single end triode.... Hi Bill, I suppose that you like those NOS Sylvania 6SN7 tubes in the Microzotl. You might try the same thing in your preamp and amp. I always thought that the Sylvanias were the best of the 6SN7 tube family. They will definitely make a difference... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Max, the Celebration does look like the old Supex 900, and it may even be that. I haven't heard one, but when I saw a photo of one, I was encouraged. But $1500 is a bit much for a Supex 900, don't you think? | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Edle, I got my 103R from a member called Martin, who advertises a running ad on the Audiogon classified analog section. I haven't checked recently, but the last time I looked, he was selling them for $230. He is in Singapore, and is a reliable ven... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu The current equivalent of the 103c is the 103. They dropped the c designation, but it is the same cartridge that they have made since 1961. I had one of those prior to my 103R. The 103R is way better. It has smaller coils of 99.9999% OFC copper, a... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Well I may get some flack for this, but you couldn't give me a Grado. Never liked them.The stylus shape of some cartridges can make a noise difference, but my experience has always been that the phono section is more problematic in that area than ... |
