| Kelsie/KAVD/Kavent gone? I've seen the site online all along...and no response to calls or emails. Maybe I'll try 'em again. | |
| Learned a valuable lesson about ambient noise I grew up in Honolulu where the windows are always open for the incessant (trade wind) breeze. It was nice, it was constant, and if that breeze wasn't there it would have been WAY too hot. Moved to the Right Coast years ago and one of the first th... | |
| How do I free up a stuck volume control? I use D100 on every volume control, motorized or otherwise. | |
| How do I free up a stuck volume control? A couple of things...sometimes on audio gear the knob is pushed in on the shaft to the point that it won't turn (had that on a new preamp with motorized volume that was slightly squished during shipping...pulled it out and it worked), otherwise I ... | |
| Warm Replacement for Adcom GFA 545 II I use speakers of a similar impedance (Silverline Preludes) with AQ Type 8 speaker cables...also a couple of pairs of Diamondbacks and a 60 wpc Jolida JD502P amp that is inexpensive, sounds amazing, and has plenty of power. A very even tone all ar... | |
| Tube vs SS vs Digital With 15K to burn you can get into some tube mania...be warned as tubes can be extremely addictive. After over 40 years using tubes in guitar and bass amps I have never had one blow up, and those things get bounced all over the damn place. Kind of ... | |
| Anyone tried out Vincent Audio Intergrated? That Vincent 236 integrated is a beast...a friend has one and it's a serious piece of gear that's imposingly larger in person than in pics...and sounds really good. | |
| Totem Arro vs Silverline Prelude vs Salk Songtower Another note...my initial non-working woofer prompted me to call Silverline and talk to Alan Yun...THAT was cool and he told me, among other things, to not bi-wire them, don't lose the jumpers, and he'd sell me another woofer no problemo...weirdly... | |
| Totem Arro vs Silverline Prelude vs Salk Songtower I think the Alon Boxers are the only speaker named after a type of underwear. Sandman...I read your entire reply before I realized you were responding to me, so you get this story: I discovered the Preludes when a friend bought a pair (and a REL s... | |
| Totem Arro vs Silverline Prelude vs Salk Songtower Sandman...I'm using the Preludes with a REL Q150e sub and it's a very nice match, along with a recently added tube power amp. Although I've never felt the treble of the Preludes to be strident (with my pile of gear anyway), the tube amp (new versi... | |
| Cary CAD 120s MkII vs. Music Reference RM200 MkII In the Stereophile review it notes that there are no blue LEDs with the Music Ref amp...shocking. | |
| Replasment for Mullard Long Plates? I've got AC so the 502 heat doesn't matter, although I did worry about that at first. I stuck it on the bottom of a rack with plenty of room above it, but it does insure that all the gear above it will never freeze. I just noticed the 502 stays mo... | |
| What is a "Current Dumping amp??".. and Pros/Cons The article posted here (http://www.richardbrice.net/curdump.htm) is great and although I barely understand it, it's exactly the style of technical writing we need more of. | |
| Replasment for Mullard Long Plates? Hey Jedinite24...you get your 502p up and running yet? Yeah...try these 7025s...they're really good. I've kept the EH 12AT7s that are original to the amp since, from what I've read anyway, they're supposedly somewhat "tone neutral", but that won't... | |
| Looking for best $1000 tube power amp I went looking for a tube power amp a few months ago and found that the least expensive (by far) option that made sense to me ...new anyway...is Jolida. Period. Bought the newest version of the JD502P via Rick at Audioforce (nice guy, great deal),... |
