| Lector CDP7 vs Primare CD31 buy a Prima Luna Prologue-8 all tube CD player. It will bury the Lector and PrimareNot so sure about that...read the whole review and be careful with system matching. If you are still upgrading, using the Prima Luna may limit some of your preamp c... | |
| Lector CDP7 vs Primare CD31 There are two PCM-1704 BB 24 bit DAC's (with indipendent board pcb for real jitter reduction)If you dig on the website, there is a pdf with a picture of the Mk II DAC board showing the two BB PCM-63 DACs. These were replaced with PCM-1704's in the... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Just out of curiousity but why whould anyone put tubes in a CD player?Mordante-below are some comments from the Modwright website that Dan makes about his top modded Sony 5400.WHY TUBES? WHAT ABOUT MAINTENANCE? WHY THE 6SN7?Vacuum tubes are best f... | |
| Lector CDP7 vs Primare CD31 I have owned 3 of the Lectors and have never had a single problem with the door, but my gear is kept in a relatively dry room - either heated in the winter or air conditioned in the summer, with a dehumidifier. I have heard of others having the do... | |
| The Cyclicality of Black Vs Silver Black for me...Clayton, Lamm, Lector no other choice, and that suits me fine. | |
| Just a stinkin fuse... Hi Chuck, I haven't checked in on your system in awhile. I believe I purchased some Starsound Sonoran PC's from you a while ago. Not using them anymore but I see you still have the Starsound speakers. Those crossovers look killer with the Dueland ... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Carlos Santana has to be my top pick for pure musical enjoyment. | |
| hardwood floors, area rugs, and spiked feet If your situation changes so that the speakers will not be on the rug, try spikes or cones (e.g., Audiopoint, Mapleshade, etc.) with coupling disks by Audiopoint (or similar) sitting on Herbies Big Fat Dots between the disks and your hardwood floo... | |
| MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player? Thanks Defride, for weighing in - any information is helpful. I have been considering the Erato II in order to simplify my system by running all solid state equipment that should better serve my erratic listening habits. I have been curious about ... | |
| MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player? As an update, I did hear back from Kevin at MUSE and we are discussing details for the upgrade to Erato II. The attenuator module is indeed an active device that has a maximum output of 6.5V RMS, an output impedance of 150 ohms (or 150+150 ohms in... | |
| Need help fast - Unbalanced Preamp to Balanced Amp Al, your suggestion to call Jensen resulted in some good information. I spoke to their designer, Bill Whitlock, who informed me the specifications shown on the website are referenced to a typically worst-case scenario where they considered a loa... | |
| MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player? Bob, I have e-mailed them with some questions on Sunday and have not heard back. Since a couple of the questions were technical in nature, Kevin will probably be elected to answer them and I suppose he has been busy. The Erato II will be an upgrad... | |
| Need help fast - Unbalanced Preamp to Balanced Amp Thanks Al, I had not noticed the impedance information in the literature. I would be interested in a more thorough reporting of the output impedance of the transformers at different frequencies resulting from a range of input impedances. The outpu... | |
| Need help fast - Unbalanced Preamp to Balanced Amp Dob, I could have been clearer. Al nailed it above.Most of the pictures on the Jensen site show their ISOMAX transformers in a stereo box (both channels into and out of one box). After asking them, they set me up with mono transformers (only one c... | |
| Need help fast - Unbalanced Preamp to Balanced Amp Based on my use of transformers with my current gear, I will respond to a couple of Ralph's transformer comments,If you go the transformer route as mentioned above, place the transformer as close as you can to the preamp can keep the cable to it s... |
