| What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built? ALRIGHT! What mics, pres, and mixer are you using for your location gigs?Best regards,Sam Sam, NP, I use a pair of 414xls or C-12s direct into a pair of 737 preamps.if digital then into rosetta 200, if analog straight into analog inputs on tape d... | |
| cartridge question have both. some would say the ART is a bit more extended, with the benz being on the warmer side, but also need to watch the loading. If lightly loaded the ART can seem thin and extended. with proper loading a great cart. would have to say the ART... | |
| RIAA, Questions only please @Ramtubes, Thanks Roger for the tip, ;yes I usually watch ebay for used test gear from those mfgrs. best regrds. | |
| Primaluna DiaLogue Premium preamp aolmrd1241, congrats on your purchase. If you want to surprise yourself, buy a pair of Shuguang coke bottle 5U4Gs and use them in the rectifier sockets. imaging will open up, you'll get a bit more air....really nice improvement. best | |
| RIAA, Questions only please with all the discussion on the RIAA curve, would suggest real vinyl philes consider the following; test your LP playback set up and see if the playback response is flat according to the RIAA spec. To do this test, you will need a NAB RIAA playback... | |
| a dilemma for cartridge/phono stage combination lewn did a nice job of outlining what you need to do.according to stereophile your amp was available with a MC or MM pcb plug in board. https://www.stereophile.com/content/creek-4240-special-edition-integrated-amplifier-specificationskey thing to ... | |
| Shipping heavy speakers don't crate them. Use plycon blanket wrap service. Have used them for large speakers and studio gear several times. works very well. https://www.plycongroup.com/freequote.php | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers I would buy one of Dennis Had's single ended amp either new or used. Well under your price point and they do sound really good. Much better than any SS amp I have heard. | |
| MC suggestions yep or you can buy from ELCOPC. off the web. | |
| MC suggestions fourwnds, that is a nice phono stage. but would suggest you change the load resistors from metal film to Vishay bulk Foil. no comparison. the noise floor will drop and micro detail will come through in spades without any sort of frequency balance ... | |
| MC suggestions what are you using for a phono stage. May be better to spend some dollars on that first...the grado is a pretty nice cart. | |
| Recommendation for input coupling caps would add go with copper foil cap. either from audyn, Jupiter, Jensen or Dueland. The most organic sound I have heard from any cap are the copper foils. The Duelands are physically quite large, so may not fit in your application. | |
| Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions Sure, not a problem. Also have a PL prologue 4 I have gone through with copper caps. Am pretty sure I have before and after pics. Not too difficult of a job. If you lived nearby would say just bring yr amp over and can walk you through the steps. | |
| Shipping speakers Craters and freight forwarders could be rough on the speakers. for big heavy studio gear, have used Plycon with great success. ask them for a quote for their Blanket wrap. They will wrap the speakers in heavy pads, then get tied to the wall of one... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) another vote for Jupiter or Jensen copper foil caps. great caps in a reasonable price range. The Duelands are nice, but physically too large to fit in most apps, unless you build an outboard cross over box. |
