| Calling Lamm ML2.1 owners Send Vlad an email, but I suspect you could use some fresh tubes. And my recollection was, those weren't necessarily expensive. The only one I roll in mine (ML2) is, like the Syntax, the 12ax7. | |
| Remastered White Album on vinyl The 'new' vinyl Revolver sounds sterile. The condition of the vinyl itself was fine, not warped, no overt nasties- just dead and thin sounding. I guess I'll have to search out some old copies to find one that has some life in it and isn't beat. On... | |
| New analog museum Nice. I am relocating to Austin very soon. Will reach out to you once i get there. | |
| Remastered White Album on vinyl I ordered the new US Revolver just to check it out. I have White Album and Abbey Road on old MFSL and never thought they were special sounding. My 'standard' issue copies of the Beatles are all US issue, but not in the greatest condition. People r... | |
| Enter The Raven The GT and 10.5 It's nice when an improvement is really an improvement. Bet that system sounds great. I had the Kuzma Reference for a while, what I like about it best was the ease of mechanical isolation. Jeff deserves the good rep he enjoys in the industry. Enjo... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? I think it was Pierre Laval, a pretty famous judge, who said "It's nice to be on the cutting edge as long as you're not the salami." I'm glad you have a sense of humor about all this Alonski, because this kind of issue - model changes and new 'ult... | |
| 2012 Additions to Your Music Collection Dgarretson-The Classic of Dirt Floor is out of print, but can be gotten from Messenger Records, the label, in NYC. You can call the owner of the label or order online. It is 100 dollars, but most of the Classic Records are pricier now that they ar... | |
| 2012 Additions to Your Music Collection Nice list, '61. Curtis Mayfield was a genius. Gotta find a copy of that Atlantic R&B compilation on vinyl.I'll add, for vinyl lovers, the Cassandra Wilson Blue Light at Dawn, recently and very decently released on Pure Pleasure.And, thanks to ... | |
| Ed Cassidy of Spirit is dead Brilliant band, incredibly versatile, listen to Fresh Garbage, or almost any cut from Dr. Sardonicus (a classic which is sorely under-rated). Led Zep opened for Spirit on their first U.S. tour. | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? Man, I'd love a huge room. As an earlier poster suggested, you should try to take advantage of the benefits. I don't like overdamped, dead sounding rooms. And the fact that the ceiling is that high may help if you could suspend some appropriate di... | |
| Manley Steelhead It has oodles of gain. I used it with a Titan i and an Airtight PC 1, my preferred gain setting was '55' if memory serves and I preferred it as a phono stage, using the fixed outputs feeding a separate line stage. Using it directly into the amps, ... | |
| KubalaSosna Emotion or Furutech Powerflux? Think there is only one way to find out and that is to try them. Doesn't Cable Co. do loans for trial? Short of that, perhaps a dealer can arrange the same thing. I had Cardas signal cables and a mix of Shunyata power cables and switched everythin... | |
| Avantgarde UNO set-up tips needed Good stuff there, Tubes 108! Makes sense too, since you are treating the sound of the woofer as part of the midrange, rather than a disconnected device. Paul will be rocking soon enough. The only thing he has to do is invite Jim to his house. Me, ... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Props to Albert Porter for turning me on to the KAB device. I knew they existed, but he zero'd in on that one, the company is reliable, and you can get the device quickly.As to Alonski's questions, I can only offer my own experience:1. Yes, there ... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? KAB makes an inexpensive RIAA adapter that enables you to plug a CD player's output into the phono stage input to burn in the latter. I don't think it presents the same safety risk that Almarg described by using a 'burn-in' CD alone. I used the KA... |
