SEPT 11?
Without trying to get into a big political mess over this, there is a boatload of evidence that the Federal gov't had mucho prior knowledge that this event was going to take place, and did nothing to stop it. Why that may be is up for discussion, ... 
Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't.
Tubegroover, see my last post above for my experiences at lower impedances with the Berning. 
Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't.
Karl, I think that it could do it, with the feedback selector switch in the 2 ohm position. My experience with the low impedance on the Bernings is some of the "life" goes out of the music. I think that this limits the dynamic headroom capability ... 
Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't.
KarlS, you need to try listening to a Berning ZOTL. One reviewer, when he was asked about the ZOTL he reviewed, said that it was the best SS amp he had ever heard. Of course it was a tube amp, but the point he was making was, that it had the beaut... 
Need to replace a Benz glider series 1 HELP
Bj, yes an incorrect VTA angle can make the bass sound lean.Basement, the 501 is made by Shelter in Japan. It is distributed by EIFL Japan over there and you can order it from them. The new US distributor is Axxis. Wavelength Audio used to do it, ... 
Opinions on this "white paper"
The incapability for "measurement" of the sonic differences between items, is not a lack on the part of the equipment, or listener. It is a lack on the part of the measurement personnel. They lack the understanding of how to properly measure certa... 
Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't.
Hey you guys! How come I seem to be the only one who gets told that I must like the "euphonic" distortion of tube amps. I read an extremely interesting article the other day on the web. The premise was, that single-ended triode amps sound as good ... 
Need to replace a Benz glider series 1 HELP
The best money spent for a cart in that range is the Shelter 501. You will need your step-up device, and the sound of this cart will knock you on your ass. You will not believe that you can get a cart this good for that kind of money. The modified... 
New TT for around 2000--- need some advice
I have a wooden floor and it doesn't bother my TT at all. I use no isolation, and in fact, I use a rigid coupling to the floor. This sounds best with my TT and I still get no vibration problems. My TT is a mass-loaded type, and has no suspension. ... 
New TT for around 2000--- need some advice
I can well understand why people are hesitant to buy a TT that they have not heard. I was faced with that myself, when I was considering the Teres. At the time I bought, there were less than 200 Teres TT's total ever made. Yes, I have a little mor... 
New TT for around 2000--- need some advice
Actually the next step up from your P25 would be the MkIV, and a modified RB250 would be a nice arm on it. However, if you want to take 2 or 3 steps up from the P25 and still not pay any more money than a new MkIV, then just get the Teres Model 24... 
4 ohm speakers with tube amps?
Tweek, the Jadis Orchestra specification sheet shows 1-16 ohm impedance capability. So it sounds like it should be do-able. If the output has a 4-ohm tap, that should be the one to use. If not, the power output may not be the same at the 4 ohm loa... 
SEPT 11?
God has something to say about this. "Seek My face, Humble yourselves in prayer, Turn from your wicked ways, And I will heal your land." These are His simple conditions in the Bible, for the Blessing we all seek. Can we comply? If we truly seek Hi... 
Have I ruined my stylus?
Herman, you have put about 8 hours of wear on your stylus, but you have not ruined it. I will need a good cleaning to get the plastic off of it. The groove builds up heat when being run over continuously like that, and some plastic will be amalgam... 
Grado Master, Benz Glider, or Shelder 501 ?
Both the Shelter 501 and 901 are low output MC cartridges. They are also low compliance, at 9cu each. They are both probably the best values at their respective price points, if your arm can handle the compliance. They can be purchased from EIFL i...
