| Mod for Sony SCD-1 or Different Player? Both the Audiocom Superclock3 and Superclock3 PSU are priced at about $295 each. The mod gives the biggest bang for the buck according to Positive Feedback magazine and Reference Audio Mods. I am happy with the current level of performance from th... | |
| Audio Research vt100mkll question BorgI think it is important to note again that the VT100 MKII requires input tubes with closely matched tolerances. You may encounter problems with arcing of the output tubes with a loss of the bias resistors if the tubes are not properly pre-sele... | |
| Mod for Sony SCD-1 or Different Player? I just completed a modification of my SCD-1 with the Audiocom Superclock3/PSU3 upgrade by Reference Audio Mods.The sonic improvements are superlative. the sound is much more analog-like (smoother more relaxed) with great retreival of detail, espec... | |
| Audio Research vt100mkll question I am currently using an ARC VT100 mkII in my system. The 6H30 tubes are used in the VT100 mkIII amp. As mentioned previously, you need a set (8) 6922 tubes. Upscale audio sells the 6H23 (NOS 6922) with the required tolerance/balance that are neces... | |

| Any feedback on the Graham Phantom Sirspeedy:I finally took the plunge and purchased the Phantom. The Phantom works well with my 8 gram Helikon (I recall you have a 7 gram cartridge and had some compatibility concerns).The Phantom was installed over the weekend. It has less than 10... | |

| ARC LS25 or Pass Labs X1?? The ARC LS25 MKI with NOS 6922 tubes is an excellent preamp | |
| ARC ph1 compared to ph3 I agree with JaFox.The ARC PH2 is one of the best products from ARC but least known. I purchased one new circa 1995. I have auditioned several new "super" phono preamps in my system, however I have not felt compelled to replace my PH2. It posesses... | |
| Any feedback on the Graham Phantom Sirspeedy: baiting you was not my intent; I do respect your contributions to these threads. I feel strongly, however, that ultimately the actual compatibility of the Phantom, with various weight cartridges, will be determined by actual listening.I... | |
| Any feedback on the Graham Phantom According to some of the information that I have read, the Phantom is recommended for cartridges from 5-18 gms.Sirspeedy, its time to move on. | |
| Any feedback on the Graham Phantom I would like to add that ultimately the final verdict as to the success of the new Phantom design would be determined by listening and not by conjecture. | |
