| Groove Tubes EL34LS vs SED Sorry. I overlooked the fact that you DO have a tube tester. | |
| Groove Tubes EL34LS vs SED I've had the Air Tight Atm 3s for a number of years. I replaced the Siemens AEGs a long time ago, and substituted Tesla E34Ls, which gave me a more extended top end and more life. In time, like many, I made a number of other changes in my system. ... | |
| Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go... Another vote for the Dunlavys. I've also had the SC-IV for a good many years. To my ears, every Thiel I've heard has had too much treble emphasis. | |
| Seeking recommendation for Mahler 2 Slight correction: Though both the Bernstein and Walter performances were issued originally on the Columbia label (I own the lps), Sony later took control, so you will find both currently on that label. | |
| Seeking recommendation for Mahler 2 I don't think you can go wrong with any of the following: Solti/London Symphony (as mentioned by Abysmillard), Klemperer's EMI Philharmonia Orchestra performance, Bernstein's New York Philharmonic reading on Columbia, Bruno Walter's with the same ... | |
| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 You haven't mentioned what amp you're using. If you have tubes, and there are 12au7 and/or 12ax7 sockets in your amp, and if you're looking to get the warmth coupled with the "slightly bigger, more open sound" of the 88PB's transformer, you might ... | |
| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 Rossb...Just checking to affirm: Since you did not receive a manual with the 88PB, are you also aware of the switch at the back which allows for either moving magnet or moving coil operation ? Incidentally, I have tried both formats with a higher ... | |
| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 Checked. Output impedance of 88Pb is actually 60. | |
| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 Rossb...I have not noticed or had the kind of experience you seem to be encountering with the 88PB (especially regarding brightness, which no one dislikes more than I do). My volume control is also usually set at around 9 o'clock with my Dynavecto... | |
| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 In reference to Downunder's reply, yes, there is a switch inside the 88PB which can be set to 4 or 40 ohms. Based on my direct experience as well as my communication with Jerry Siegel at 10 Audio (see his excellent online site where he reviews the... | |
| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 Downunder and I are on the same frequency regarding the musicality of the EAR 88P, which by the way offers excellent dynamics and imaging as well. He has auditioned the 88PB. I own one, and right out of the box I very much liked its sound. Also, I... | |
| VPI 16.5 Problem Yep. It's usually because the plastic nut on the spindle has not been tightened or because one forgot to screw it on at all. | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? I seemingly erred in assuming this "critic" was a good friend of yours. Nonetheless, he still could have responded in a more decent tone. | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Ryder...All of us have faced situations like this with regard to many kinds of things. And though we might prefer or enjoy what we have, it might still pinch a bit if someone else comes on the way your friend did. Though he may have been honest in... | |
| Audience Au24 - Did any one have problems....? Funny that you mentioned that. I once owned a one meter pair of the Au24s. I ran them from my cd player to my preamp. On several occasions, I too failed to get sound through one channel. What I found was that the plugs were not making proper conta... |
