| Linn Ittok vs. Rega RB-300 @mbendig4986 Obviously, in discussing the above, we find ourselves sailing perilously close to the boundary of another, somewhat thornier issue, which is whether different is necessarily better. But that is another story! Anyone else care to co... | |
| Nakamichi CA-7A Preamp I shut off the use of my Western Electric 300 B tubes on my SET amp, for ballgames. ( trying to save tube life… I wish I knew at my age of 70, how many years of life they had, using them 4-6 hours at night only… any idea?) yeah the making of th... | |
| Nakamichi CA-7A Preamp @moose89 The CA-7A has two torrodial transformers, so one would think that they're for left and right channels respectively. They're not. One transformer is for line inputs and the other for phono; each transformer has separate windings for lef... | |
| John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away I've been chatting with John since 1986 when I bought my Walsh 4's. I admired his ability to give a straight answer to any question regarding his speakers. Needless to say I admired him and his speakers. He built my speakers in 1984; there ... | |
| Nakamichi CA-7A Preamp I have a NAK PA-7A MKII amp and a CA-7A pre. They are a phenomenal combo. The phono section in the pre is in a league of it’s own. I use an AT33PTG/II cart and it’s hard to describe how utterly clean the sound is. The one weakness the pre has is ... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition $60k for an LP12? Well that’s fine by me, I’m just curious as to how long it will take Ivor to offer expensive ’upgrades’ to this TT. BTW: My 39 year old Heybrook TT2 has metal hinges. | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. @llg98ljk Since you mentioned that class D may be in your future; and keeping in mind your budget then I would consider a Buckeye 2 channel Purifi amp for around $1K BTW: I'm 75 also https://www.buckeyeamp.com/shop/p/purifi-1et400a-amplifier-... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable I've never owned an LP12 and I don't aspire to ever own one. Why? I've had an aluminum sub-chassis Heybrook TT2 for the past 25 years. | |
| Goodbye Everyone @elliottbnewcombjr You just need an 'attaboy', we all do now and then. | |
| Goodbye Everyone When a hobby turns into a cult this is what happens. We all give advice based on our experience and knowledge but most of all personal preference. Audio SQ is strictly subjective, so recommendations should be acknowledged but not necessarily a... | |
| After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be. Snuck into my Uncle's basement in 1959 when I was 10 and he was relaxing to some new fangled Stereo LP's. The room was dark except for the glow of tubes; the sound was everywhere, like a blanket on me. He was playing jazz and I felt the performe... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? @niodari In Spring of 2021 I bought a P3 with Ania MC cart. #1 The tonearm leads were the cheapest, most fragile ones I've ever encountered; and I've owned 8 tables over the last 50 years. #2 The closer the tonearm was to the spindle, the loud... | |
| MC for Low Mass Tonearm If you check out the specs on an AT OC9 XML you'll see that it's custom made for your arm's 8.5 g effective mass. Save yourself a ton of money. | |
| Are you getting the bass you deserve? @sounds_real_audio I guess to refine the question if you feel that you have enough bass how did you get to that point. Was it simply avoiding the hype surrounding bass or something else? I’ve owned OHM Walsh 4’s since 1986. #1 Ensure cabinet ... | |
| AT33PTG/II upgrade? Compatible? Hi There, I've had the PTG33/II for a year now, prior to that had an OC9ML and before that an original OC9. The 33 is even more neutral than the OC's and slightly warmer than the OCs. Superb on jazz not as good on rock as the OC's. In my opini... |
