| DH Labs Air Matrix IC:: Level of sound quality? I'm using DH Labs Silver Sonic Air Matrix from my TT to phono stage. I also used their Q-10 speaker wire for the internal wiring on my Tannoy speaker project. I am not disappointed with their performance in either capacity. They are very much a ba... | |
| Identification Help - Tannoy Type HF/200/20L Hello,I can't help with ID'ing your amps, but google Hilberink's Tannoy website. If you can't find the information there, you can post the question on the Tannoy Yahoo forum, it's worldwide, someone will know about your amplfiers. They are most li... | |
| Kimber 4TC for M-L Electromotion ESL? Yes, the TC-4 will work. I had TC-4's years ago, and they sounded decent, but when I auditioned cables from Synergistic Research, I was blown away at how much better the SR's sounded. I bought them, and am still using them after 6-7 years. I'm not... | |
| Why Not Return the Favor? Thanks to all for their response to this thread. I was surprised at how many there were, and surprised and humbled by some of the kind remarks that were made. Michael, thanks, and your system is fantabulous too! Foster9, thank you as well, Gammajo... | |
| A true believer I just have to weigh in here. A few months back, there was a raging controversy on the Hilberink Tannoy site, so much so, in fact, the subject was banned from all further discussion. The object of all this heated debate was some Russian speaker ca... | |
| Looking for "Last" 2 channel speaker system. I have said this on this forum before, and I will say it again, do try some Tannoys out. My custom thirty-five year old HPD 315's are among the most musical speakers in my long experience, are easy to drive, at 93db sensitivity, and are easily amo... | |
| Berning ZH-270 & Joule Electra LA-100 MK3 speaker I would try Tannoys. Mine do a remarkable job in my very large room with 35 watts push-pull. They have all you are asking for, plus they are excellent at getting the scale of music right, be it large (symphonic), or small (jazz, chamber music), or... | |
| Speakers for a large vaulted room? My room is larger than yours, and I drive my Tannoy HPD 315's (12" Dual Concentric) mostly with 35Wpc, an old VAC PA 35.35. With these vintage speakers (though with custom cabinets, custom crossovers, and current-version "Hard Edge" surrounds from... | |
| Supra Ply 3.4S The Classic 6 is working very well for me, I might try the 3.4, and see how that sounds, thanks for the info, Highwayman.Dan | |
| EL34 vs 6CA7 vs KT77 In my VAC PA 35.35, I was using "Winged C" and EH Gold Dragons. I swapped out all the tubes at once, the smaller tubes are now NOS Telefunken 12AT7 and 12AU7. The EL34's are Mullard reissue with the Groove Tube label. The change these tubes made w... | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Raul is right. I got back into vinyl about five years ago, and it has taken me that long to get the full measure of what my modest analog front end can do. But, even though modest, it sounds stunning. Unless you do have ready access to someone ver... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Just my 2 cents worth, I bought an old VAC PA 35.35 a while back, and while I liked it, it wasn't as good sounding as I thought it might be, so I set about getting new tubes in it. It had EH EL 34's, and 12AU7's,and 12AT7's. In went NOS Telefunken... | |
| For all you Clapton fans.... I've been a long time fan, and have seen him twice, last time was when he toured with Mark Knopfler, around 1990 something. He was phenominal both times. If you haven't seen him live, you have no idea of how good he really is.Regards,Dan | |
| dynavector XX2MK2 set up question I primarily run a VAC PA 35.35, an EL 34 push-pull amp. Sometimes, I switch to a Plinius SA 100 MKIII, 100wpc solid-state, depending on what I'm listening to at the time. I don't feel the need to change cartridge loading when I change amps. The Pl... | |
| dynavector XX2MK2 set up question With mine, I track at just shy of 2gm. about 1.97 or so. Now that all set-up parameters have been optimzed, I find 1000ohms sounds just right. Before that, 30ohms is what I used.Dan |
