| Tubed Pre Dying? ? My friend has a PV14L, nice preamp. He is sending his to the factory for a mk II version upgrade, which I believe includes re-tubing. It is only costing him about $275 + shipping. There are other cap/resistor/? upgrades as well. This may be someth... | |
| You used to love it but now....................... I never thought I'd say this, but Led Zepplin. They were my favorite band in the 70's. For some reason I just can't listen to them anymore. I must be getting old. | |
| Cart. match for Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 Signature Try switching the wires first, it's free. If you decide to go looking for a MC cartridge, take a listen to the Lyra Lydian Beta or a Ortofon Kontrapunkt B. Both have a output of around .5mV and sound very good.Regards,John | |
| VA Beethovens with REL Storm or VA Strauss I've been down that road, and I decided to buy the Strauss. I can't say it would have been the right decision for everyone, but I'm happy. I owned a pair of Beethovens for about a year and a half. I was satisfied with their performance as well, bu... | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? Distortion, not to worry, after your fiancee becomes your wife, you won't be needing that cable anymore anyway, so length becomes a non-issue.=) | |
| What's in your record cleaning machine???? I'll second Dan_ed. Record Research made a real believer out of me too.Regards,John | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? The shorter the better, within reason. You don't want cables stretched as taunt as guitar strings now. You also don't want to coil cable, as this will increase inductance. It's best to tailor the length to the application. Have enough slack as to ... | |
| Krell KAV 250 vs. Proceed HPA-2 Neither, really IMHO there are just too many better amps out there. Try a Jeff Rowland or McCormack amp. Even Classe, Pass, Plinius, BAT or an older Threshold would do a better job. The Krell Master series is good, but their KAV series is too brig... | |
| How many stereo lovers have you created? Sadly, none, in my 25+ years in this hobby. All my friends and family just think I'm a psycho. I've met stereo lovers though this hobby, but, I haven't 'created' any. Maybe I'm just a bad salesman..........or maybe....I am a psycho........... | |
| Recommend Power Cord for HC Ultimate Outlet I'm very happy with the Virtual Dynamics Nite P/c that I have on my HC UO.Regards,John | |
| Levinson Amp Experts, I need your help please I wouldn't consider any of those Levinson amps if I were you. Your Pass X-250 probably sounds much more natural. Levinson can sound thin or clinical without the proper surrounding gear. Many Levinson owners are also having service issues since Mad... | |
| Cracking and Popping Albums?? I highly recommend using Record Research's Super Deep Cleaner. That stuff has cleaned and saved more records than I can count.Regards,John | |
| Does anyone have experience with noise reduction ? You don't by any chance have you audio system touching your video system, do you? Even if your tv is plugged into the same circuit as you audio, you can pick up a ground loop hum. I had a similar problem and it drove me nuts, I tried running dedic... | |
| Pre-amp with Headphones out for 600-800 Sonic Frontiers Line 1 | |
| PrePro - Classe SSP-75 vs Krell HTS 7.1 vs ??? If you're happy with the sound, I would go with the Classe SSP-75. I personally prefer the Classe sound over the Krell sound also. It's richer and warmer in the midband, where the music lives.Good Luck,John |
