| Ronnie Montrose I have just recently really gotten (back) into Ronnie Montrose/Montrose. I've been listening to all of his vinyl. I have almost everything he ever did on LP.This is very sad news. He was a great talent. I wish I had seen him live. One of the few I... | |
| Any experiences with Modwright SWL9.0SE ??? Shakedown, the only time I've heard or seen a hole having to be cut is for a different RECTIFER tube than the 5AR4/GZ34. The small 9 pin tubes have no problem with clearance of the lid. I tried at least 9 or 10 different brand/styles of tubes and ... | |
| Advice re: Entry level CD Player +2 on the Rotel RCD-1072. Excellent player at retail, a killer deal used. | |
| Any experiences with Modwright SWL9.0SE ??? Dan runs the tubes very conservatively in the SWL9.0SE, so I would say around 6000-8000 hours easily. You can use 5687, 7119, 7044, 6900 tubes in this unit.I never tried the Bendix 6900 tubes because they are ultra expensive, (like $600+ per pair)... | |
| New 12AX7s from Audio Research Are these ARC tubes "new production" or NOS, (new, old stock?). I wasn't aware of any new production tubes coming out of West Germany? Maybe there is a new plant there.If they are NOS, could be Telefunken, Siemens or Amperex.Glad they sound good a... | |
| Highest rez audio service Rhapsody, Pandora and MOG use MP3 codecs. Your Sonos will have no problem with these. I really like MOG, but still would love to be able to get Hi-Rez in a streaming format. MP3 is NOT a hi-rez format, even at 320K. | |
| Any experiences with Modwright SWL9.0SE ??? It's a fantastic preamp. I started with the SWL9.0SE, then upgraded to the SIGNATURE version. I then upgraded to the new Modwright LS100. The SWL9.0SE & Signature remain one of my favorite preamps. Excellent value, especially at the used price. | |
| how to re terminate my cardas hexlink golden 5c Cardas is probably the only ones who know for sure what color is what. I wouldn't think it would make a huge difference as along as you use the same colors on each end, of course. If they are all the same guage, does it matter? I've never cut the ... | |
| how to re terminate my cardas hexlink golden 5c I agree with the above comments. I was a Cardas dealer for many years and they are almost impossible to re-terminate yourself. Cardas uses a pretty elaborate method to put connectors on their cables. I would send them to Cardas and let them do it. | |
| Highest rez audio service I think, (but could be wrong) that the OP is asking if anyone "streams" hirez music, like Pandora or MOG or internet radio stations, not just downloading it. I think that would be really nice also. I'm assuming that too much bandwidth would be req... | |
| Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac In addition to my above post, I looked on both sites and could find nothing stating the rating that Lifeengineer posted? Acoustimac gives a NRC and a SAA rating. I couldn't find this info on the GIK site at all.Both GIK and Acoustimac use Owens Co... | |
| Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac From the info I found, they use the same exact materials. I can't see how one can have a higher, (or lower) rating than the other. Are you sure you are comparing the same model and SIZE of panel? | |
| How many albums do you need ? How many albums do you need? This is a trick question right? I think that's were the word "infinty" originated from. | |
| Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac I did not compare the two. IMHO, acoustic panel treatments like these are pretty much the same. They don't make a "sound", so it would be pretty hard to tell any differnce. They are made with, more or less, the same materials. I just liked the bui... | |
| New 12AX7s from Audio Research For about that kind of money, you can buy the new Psvane 12AX7 Grade A, fully matched from Grant Fidelity. I have some of these in one of my phono stages and LOVE them. I think there is someone here on the 'Gon that sells them also. I have only pu... |
