| Black glass KenRad 6SN7s take the cake Asa, I did not use the 231, I used the WGT version. And the sound difference was amazing. The observations made by others regarding the delicacy of detail, midrange liquidity, strong bottom end, crystal-clear high end were all there, far better th... | |
| how can I find the polarity out from my XLR Disregard my post, because I mis-read your question. I thought that it said your polarity was different from the CD player to the preamp. Sorry. | |
| how can I find the polarity out from my XLR I can only say that it is unlikely that the manufacturer went through the trouble of having polarity labels made, only to have it be wrong. So you can be 99.9999% sure that the polarities on each machine are as they say they are. You can check the... | |
| Best efficient speaker for the money. The absolute best speaker you can buy in that price range for the low-power SET application is Lowther. The model I use with my 2 watt rig is the EX3 in Voigt Pipe cabinets. The plans for these cabinets are on the web, and if you can't find them, ... | |
| How much fluid do you use Although I haven't actually tried this, I am about to. I believe I heard somewhere that de-ionized water has a lower surface tension than regular water, and therefore could be considered a "surfactant" like is used in detergent to break the surfac... | |
| Will a Denon D 103 work with Benz lukaschek PP1 ?? The cartridge will work through your Benz, but the loading will not be correct. However, some people actually prefer having their MC cartridges loaded high, or even unloaded at 47k. So it is possible that you may find it acceptable. There is certa... | |
| Seeing the light Never tried it, so I can't make a meaningful comment. I suppose that there is some possibility it may do something. If it works for you, then why not use it? I can say that a full-spectrum flourescent light only costs about $20, not the $49 that h... | |
| Trans-rotor Lenardo - Anyone give a listen? There is a member here, who's moniker I can't remember, who emailed me once, that has a Transrotor Leonardo and also bought a Teres 245. He said that once he heard the Teres 245, he put the Leonardo in his 2nd system, as it could not compare sonic... | |
| What do you think about this cable company? Sounds like you oughtta buy another brand of cable, to me. There are alot of cables out there that sound good, and that are competing for your money. If that company doesn't want your business, then another one surely will. | |
| Black glass KenRad 6SN7s take the cake Give me the Sylvania 1940s 6SN7 WGT any day. IMO the best there is. If you really want to hear what a 6SN7 can do, just listen to it as an output triode in a Berning Micro ZOTL, driving a pair of Lowthers direct. This is where you really hear the ... | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson PV-9 Tube preamp I really enjoyed the details in your description, and had a good time reading this review. I'm glad you're happy with your fine system. | |
| resistors in series/parallel questions... You can use whatever combination you want to acheive the value you want. The fewer the better, because the soldered joints can be problematic for sound. You don't have to get exactly 47k, because it is not that critical. 1/4 watt is fine for this.... | |
| Which amp to drive Totem Signiture ones? It sounds to me like there may be a couple of issues at play here. I looked up your product specs on the web, and the Totems are nominally 4 ohm speakers. It is possible that they may have some serious dips at some frequencies. Given that the Kora... | |
| Need an advice about phono cable. RCA-RCA It sounds to me like there is something more than just cables being wrong. Have you set the VTA correctly? Is the cartridge loaded properly at the phono section? Is the cartridge worn out or something? The Well Tempered Classic should be sounding ... | |
| Need help - Set up Helikon using test LP Jackcob, the 12.5 has more mass and superior geometry over the 10.5, so it should be a better tracker. The reason that these Helikon owners are having problems, is that the Helikon is really too stiff in the compliance department for these unipivo... |
