| Dynaco MK III Monobloc That's right; thanks. That's how my cousin used them; wired in triode. He drove a pair of Quad 57'S. I still remember that beautiful midrange. | |
| Dynaco MK III Monobloc Wasn't the Mk III a 35 watter; sometimes referred to as half an ST70? | |
| Dynaco MK III Monobloc Classic equipment such as these Dyna's command very high prices in Asia due primarily to their classic status and collectabilty. The Mk III's can sound pretty good particularly after updating. But, $3000?! I don't think so. Way too much, in my opi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A couple of thoughts about rewiring tonearms. The benefits of using a continuous run of wire from cartridge clips to phono pre are tremendous in my experience. I would strongly encourage anyone contemplating a tonearm rewire (DIY, or otherwise) to... | |
| audition copper/silver arm wire in New York BTW, Lew. Re soldering this wire. A good technique for soldering these incredibly thin wires is to first rub a little flux (best, but not essential) on the ends, and then to hold a bead of molten solder on the tip of the iron. Then, with your othe... | |
| audition copper/silver arm wire in New York Lew, yes that's what I use. Fantastic wire; I can't say enough good things about it. A real PITA to work with, but worth the effort. I use one continuous run on a Eminent Technology 2 arm, from cartridge clips to phono preamp. I will be surprised ... | |
| Singers you like Sarah Vaughn, now you're talking! Here's another great:http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=_G0qKQTGCWk | |
| audition copper/silver arm wire in New York Avs9, I tried contacting you privately but was not able to. I won't have time for the next few weeks, but if come April or so you still have not been able to do so, contact me and I would be glad to try and find some time to demonstrate my vinyl r... | |
| What is Jazz? I don't share the cynicism and negativity expressed in some of the posts above. The "demise" of jazz as some of us would like to remember it was inevitable. To accept this inevitability is to truly understand the art form. No one destroyed jazz. J... | |
| What is Jazz? Actually, the quote is (upon being asked what jazz is):"Man, if you have to ask, you'll never know"A couple other favorite Armstrong quotes:**** To jazz, or not to jazz, there is no question ******** If I dont practice for a day, I know it. If I ... | |
| What is Jazz? Charles1dad, of course you are correct. But, I would bet you my Manley mono's (and I'll throw in my Columbia Six-Eye "Kind Of Blue") that if you were to poll 100 jazz musicians and ask them who they would pick (if they had to) as THE greatest jazz... | |
| where to get AudioNote wires Nandric is correct. I found this out when I was sourcing my AN wire a while back. My concerns were put to rest when I received and installed the AN UK wire. The Kondo wire may be superior (at about 3-4 times the cost), but the UK wire is the best ... | |
| where to get AudioNote wires Lew, what I do is to solder the tinned end of the wire or twisted pairs of wires to the end of a length of thin solid core picture hanging wire which will comfortably slide through the entire length of the teflon tubing, and I pull it through. No ... | |
| where to get AudioNote wires I purchased m Teflon tubing from Michael Percy(.com). He has Teflon tubing as thin as 22 gauge. I think I used 20 gauge. AN wire is very thin so even the 22 gauge will work, the problem is that the thinner the tubing, the more difficult it is to r... | |
| where to get AudioNote wires Lewm, have you considered running it first through small diameter Teflon tubing, as used to insulate capacitor leads, then through the copper braid? That is what I did with my continuous run tonearm wiring (except for the short section where it ne... |
