| K&K phono stage I'd like to know what the K&K owners are using for cartridge and TT. | |
| midrange forwardness 04-19-08: Sogood51It doesn't take much...a good tube preamp is all you need. Just make sure you buy one that uses tubes, that have flavors you are looking for....after all, thats what tube rolling is all about.This hasn't been my experience. I pai... | |
| midrange forwardness It sounds like you're describing the difference between SS and tube amps. Have you thought about trying tubes? It might be worth exploring. Personally, I haven't found an SS amp that gives the kind of midrange warmth that tubes do.Check out Soundl... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Rumours reissue Is it being released on vinyl? | |
| Totem Arro or Vandersteen 1C or Quad 12L. Personally, I like Totem's sound. The Arro's won't match the bass of the Vandie's, but what they lack in low end they make up for with imaging. The Arro tends to disappear in a room. I haven't heard the Quad. I recommend you listen to all of them | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 Carl often uses Bill to do this work. Contact Bill directly and see if he will do it for less. | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 Contact Carl if you want to buy new woofers. Contact Bill LeGall if you want to rebuild them. Bill is a master at what he does and will make them better than new. Bill often works for Carl. | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 If you need your woofers fixed, contact Bill LeGall at Millersound. He works on Alons. http://www.millersound.net/about.htmmillerspkr@aol.com1.215.412.7700 | |
| Tonearm Wire I've had excellent results with Cardas 4x33 which is four twisted 33 gauge wires shielded and encased in a rubber jacket. | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 04-08-08: Mitch2I tried for years to get the V MkII's to sing with a variety of components. It just wouldn't happen for me, even when using a tubed preamp.I know they can sound nice with SS, but I really believe Alon's are best matched with tube a... | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 Norman, I don't have any experience with the Stratos or Sim. I'm sure they're both very good amps, but I encourage you to audition a pure Class A amp if you stay with solid state. -Mark | |
| alon model 5 mk 2 I'm driving a pair of Model V's with Antique Sound Lab AQ-1008. There's a warmth and spaciousness with this combo that I haven't heard with SS. I heard a pair of Alon Circe's powered by a VAC PA100/100 not long ago. It was the most spectacular sys... | |
| WBT 147 versus 108 I could be wrong, but unless you have golden ears, I doubt you'll hear any difference between the 108 and 147. The 108 is a much more robust connector. I used them in a DIY phono cable and very much enjoy them. Their construction is top notch. I d... | |
| Review: Antique Sound Labs Hurricane Tube amp Thanks for the nice review. These amps have been on my radar for a while. 1. I replaced the ASL supplied 6SN7 tubes with NOS Sylvania's from Andy's Vintage Tube Service. The change in tubes was noticed immediately and continues to improve with use... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 with Bent Audio NOH Passive TVC I don't have any experience with the Herron VTPH-2 so I can't comment on its noise level, but I have a Bent TVC. My phono stage has the same output impedance as your Herron (500 ohms). I haven't had any problems. Actually, quite the opposite. It s... |
