| effect of tubes in cd players Steve have you ever heard Wytechs? These tube amps (all SET) have the most bass I've heard of any tube amp. Very fast, tight, in a word, perfect for my tastes. No bloat. A real treat to listen to them. When you mention you modding the Shanling and... | |
| Thinking of modding my 834p, or should I move on? Hi Pauly! Thanks for the link. My phono stage is still dead and every once in a while I'll hear a small chirp from my TT begging to be played. I really need to get my phono stage taken care of. I'll read through the link you provided and hopefully... | |
| Thinking of modding my 834p, or should I move on? Thank you for all the encouragement guys! I have a bit of soldering experience and did fix one of my aging Melos amps year back. Maybe I should give it a try! As for the Lundahls, are there any that could be swapped into the chassis for a straight... | |
| Thinking of modding my 834p, or should I move on? Hi Paul, Yes, I was quoted $200 to replace some RCA's (to NextGens though) and then another 800 for the mods (parts and labor). I have not yet done so because I was iffy on the price. I live in Canada so shipping to the US is always a PITA but if ... | |
| Thinking of modding my 834p, or should I move on? I've read that Ear's own step-ups are quite good, as are the Lundahl's but they require DIY prowess. Bent Audio transformers seem to get the most praise around my area. | |
| Thinking of modding my 834p, or should I move on? Thank you kindly for all the comments and suggestions. The $1k incorporates the repair of my faulty RCA connectors (I'm swapping in NeXtGens for kicks). Otherwise, it would be in the $750-800 range with labour. | |
| Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison? I was in this boat a year or so ago, though I was not interested in selling my digital gear, but simply diving into vinyl with a handful of LP's (5 I think, maybe 12). I contacted a good friend of mine who was interested in helping me out. He set ... | |
| New Foo Fighters Release Anyone? The vinyl release sounds exceptional in my opinion, far better than the Redbook release, and by that I mean more than is typically the case (since much popular and rock releases on lp are shoddy). The box is very well put together as described abo... | |
| Ottawa, Ontario Good Day, I would love to join. I'm a graduate student here in Ottawa. I have a headphone only system, something that may not appeal to you members right away, but it may also amaze you at what can be attained having transducers strapped to one's ... | |
| Ready to try vinyl I've learned more in the 30 minutes it took me to get through this thread than the months of reading about various TT designs. Thanks to all those who have been participating. I own a belt driven table, I'm pleased with it but I had been consideri... | |
| Tonearm for the Michell Gyro SE MKII I have the SME V on a Gyro SE and I quite enjoy the sound. I have used it with a Koetsu Black and a Clear Audio Aurum Beta S. I am thinking perhaps a Shelter 501 or a Grado Reference, but the SME V is definitely sticking around. I have the SME spe... | |
| Newbie needs some cart advice for a SME V/Dyn P75 Thanks to everyone who has replied. I really appreciate all the advice. I have some good news I guess. I had a friend of mine who is also a professional at setting up turn tables come by last night and properly setup my rig. After a few hours he h... | |
| Newbie needs some cart advice for a SME V/Dyn P75 Thanks a lot Raul, I love your posts and your solid advice. I will look into this Sumiko Celebration and see if I can find one at a good price. | |
| I have my table now I need a phono, please help Thanks a lot David,I went today and ordered a Dynavector P-75. I hope this will do me well. I also have a friend searching out an Ear 834p for me. I will eventually have that to compare with the SS phono and make a judgement and then sell off the ... | |
| I have my table now I need a phono, please help Wow, excellent advice from everyone who replied. OF course, with such good advice it makes my decision a bit tough. Perhaps I will hold off for a few weeks and see what pops up for sale here before asking the local dealer to get the Dynavector P-7... |
