| Opinions on a Grace F8c for a freshy I think SS offers 3 levels of Grace replacement styli, but I don’t know if they fit the F8. Even the middle model beat the unused stock stylus on the NIB F9 I bought some years back. These SS styli are a true gift. I use the top OCL on my F14 and... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? Were I a serious record collector like @whart and others here, I’d use outer sleeves, too. Truth be told, I don’t have many LPs that are all that valuable in my 1500+ library. Lots that I love but few worth more than maybe $50. I’m fastidious abou... | |
| Old SS amps @devinplombier , deal! :) | |
| Old SS amps I’m still using a Reference Line Silver Signature amp that I bought new in 1999. Class A, so it runs hot. Still sounds fantastic, although it did blow out a couple of transistors over the years. Fortunately, Roger Modjeski (RIP) lived nearby and g... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? Outer sleeves bug me and take up space. I toss ‘em. | |
| Class of operation for Tube Power Amps FWIW, Aric Audio makes some lovely PP tube amps that run exclusively in Class A, like his Transcend Push Pull, which I own and love. | |
| Tannoy or Volti @sns +1. Differences in presentation are precisely why I swap in and out 3 different speaker/amp combos in my main system. One is high powered SS, class A, driving 89db cones and fabric domes; another is 65 watts of class A KT150 coupled with 92d... | |
| Tannoy or Volti As a CWIV owner, I’ve definitely been intrigued by Volti, all the more following this thread. Like a few others on Agon, mine have been upgraded with the Don Sachs recipe of caps and resistors, along with better binding posts and dynamat damping o... | |

| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Ironically, this thread is hi-fi history. | |
| Where's Mijo? Great news. And that’s from the Holy Grail, btw. :-) | |
| Where's Mijo? I appreciate the response. I did a quick search to see if he’s participating in other forums under the same moniker, as many do, but found nothing except a few posts from 2003 in Audio Asylum. Troubling. I don’t always agree with his judgements bu... | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! If you start looking small bookshelf, the Proac Tablette 10 Signatures are stellar. While not ostensibly high-eff, they are incredibly easy to drive with tubes, given their 10 ohm nominal impedance. I put a pair in my 300 sq/ft shop/gym, powered ... | |
| Cornwall IV V-Cap ODAM and Path Audio resistor modification @ephan , If you like the sound of stock CW4, I don’t think you’d be disappointed. I can’t really imagine why anyone would prefer the stock to ones with the Sachs mods. I went a bit beyond those but the meat of the upgrade is in the superb caps and... | |
| Cornwall IV V-Cap ODAM and Path Audio resistor modification @ephan , I see you’re new here. Welcome. FYI. If you type @ followed by the userid of a member, as I did just now for you, it alerts that user. I just saw that you asked me this question in an old CW4 threat, but I was not aware. |
