Blown tube amp Sophia electric 91-01 need advise
Hi Bob,I have a Sophia Tube amp (MC300-A) and consider it to be the finest amplifier I have ever owned. It has had no problems over ten years of use. Were you ever able to get your fixed? Was there any damage to the speaker? 
PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES
Thank you all. I think I've got it now. My only comment is it seems as though the digital market place needs a device that will process and organize a DSD or PCM file, store it on a hard drive, and include a DAC with an analog out. Maybe this woul... 
PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES
The PS Audio NuWave phono is an A/D converter. Why would I need to get another one? This is what I do not understand.I'm sorry to be so persistent but I am trying to understand this process. If the analog signal has been digitized into a high rez ... 
PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES
I guess I am trying to understand how one can make digital copies of LPs. 10 years ago I had an Alesis Masterlink and it was a simple matter to run the analog signal into that device and it would store it on the hard drive and I could play it back... 
High-efficiency speakers and high-power amps?
Let me suggest that you take a different approach and just commit to changing over to a high efficiency system. If you base your results on the sound quality you get from a mismatched system you have gained nothing. Chances are this amplifier will... 
Help with Cartridge Alignment
Points all well taken. I have an original Panasonic electronic stylus force guage.I guess a Foz and USB magnifier are on the birthday list. 
A Great Deal on Audiogon
A number of folks have raised questions about the integration of the standard issue 225s with the horns. The prior owner of my Trios added a third pair of 225s. I cannot say why but everything sounded much better with a third bass unit (larger wav... 
Help with Cartridge Alignment
Thank you. Yes I have a custom Wally alignment tool for my arm and I have gotten things as reasonably close as I feel I can. One could argue that now it is up to listening and fine adjusting for the final tuning. Nonetheless if I had three additio... 
A Great Deal on Audiogon

Help with Cartridge Alignment
Thank you, yes I see there is an abundance of dialogue but no clear concensus as to the value of this instrument. Cartridge set up alignment continues to be a daunting task. 
Sophia Electric
I have a Sophia Electric MC 300A Integrated Amplifier which I use on AG Trios. Both the amplifier and the Company are top notch. I agree with mt1045 that the personal service one gets from this company makes buying anything from them a pleasure. I... 
Why not horns?
I have a horn system - AV Trios- after having had many rather expensive dynamic and planar speakers. Here are some things I have noted. These comments are only specific to the Trios but conceivably they could apply to other similiar horn designs. ... 
SCHEMATIC for Sophia S.E.T. EL-34 amp
While I realize this thread is old, I can tell you from experience that the folks at Sophia are very accomodating and quite reasonable with repairs. I have one of their integrated amps, a 300B single ended unit that uses a 206 output tube. It has ... 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
I have a new pair of Intuitive Design Summits with stands that I am selling only because I have ordered a pair of Pingoras, the bigger brother to the Summits, and they are finished. The Summits are in beautiful Blue-eye granite. I can potentially ...
