| Some impressions from the 2007 RMAF: I believe the Kharma Vyger Kubala room was Bill Parrish (GTT Audio) and of course, Joe Kubala. I am sorry I did not attend, these shows sound like far more fun than the old CES.I would have enjoyed meeting some of you in person. | |
| Is Quad ESL57 most amazing speaker of all time? I have both the 57 (although they are moldering in my basement) and the 63 (a Crosby modded pair), and let me tell you, to paraphrase something similar, I know the 57 and the 63 (even Crosby modded) ain't no 57.THe 63 will play deeper, louder, is ... | |
| Dedicated Stand for a Turntable ? Opinions. My best experience has been with wall-mounted shelves, given that I typically have to deal with springy floors. I am currently using the Kuzma XL, which given its weight- approximately 177 lbs naked, does not easily mount to any wall I have in my ... | |
| A higher level than Mullard in tube quality? So Thom, it looks like you have to update your system profile and pic to reflect the ML 2.1 and I would love to see a report on how they sound, now that you have had time to get to know them. | |
| A higher level than Mullard in tube quality? I had Mullard gold pins (NOS) in my Steelhead, but swapped them out for Telefunken 6922s (NOS). Sound went from warm and darkish to neutral and not edgy. A big improvement in my system, given my taste, although not inexpensive. | |
| Acoustic Sounds Customer Service I think we are all insane. I have also known Chad and done business with him since the beginning of time. I have found that he accepts returns on defective records, and if memory serves, doesn't he do some pretty good deals on shipping?I guess the... | |
| Bi-amping Avantgarde Duo's hey, Jim, howz it hangin?My Duos sing with the Lamm amps.And my bass integration problem is not a problem anymore (the Lamms go down way deep for a tube amp). I switched to Joe Kubala's cable, and went to long ic/short speaker runs. Took out all p... | |
| Bi-amping Avantgarde Duo's Isn't that how the speaker already works? I mean that the woofs are 'self powered' with a solid state amp built in and the mid-tweets can be hooked up to anything, but often (and in my case, hardly unusual) it is with a tube amp.The idea of feedin... | |
| A better record cleaning brush than the vpi brush I bought the Walker Prelude package, which includes separate brushes (really more like pads) for each of the three solutions (well, the last one is purified water, which is used twice at the end of the cleaning cycle). Perhaps it is because I am c... | |
| Zerostat or Gruv Glide to rid static? I am currently liking the Walker Talisman very much. I have a selection of brushes, as well as the Zerostat. The Walker thing works and doesn't touch the record surface, although it is more expensive. (No affiliation and normally don't endorse pro... | |
| Ground Lift on PC, but Grounding Chassis to Outlet Thanks. From what I gather, the grounds on the amps may have been lifted internally before I bought them. When they went back to Vlad for switch replacement, I suspect he reinstalled the ground wires. Thus, the problem. I know that sometimes we ca... | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling Alex- the Emotion PCs, on all components now. | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling ON PCs, I really like the Kubala cords on the ML 2. That's what I'm using. And, I get my tubes thru the mad Russian in Brooklyn. | |
| Well Tempered Classic - any advice before buying? I used, at different intervals, all with success: A Lyra Parnassus; a Van de Hul hi output moving coil and god knows what else, probably a Grado Reference. Again, George Stanwick would be a good source for info. | |
| Well Tempered Classic - any advice before buying? Table is pretty bulletproof; Classic is, as you may know, a name for what was at one time, their only table. I still have one of these old ones, which has a newer motor, the black platter, a heavy brass aftermarket clamp around the fluid cup, some... |
