| Audio Research D125 - help re problem Not sure if this will help, but perhaps there is a very small crack/break in a circuit trace or the tube socket that is open when cool and closes when warmed up. Not sure if this would cause a tube to blow but there seems to be a correlation to te... | |
| Denver Audio Show photos Albert, you clean up every photo? That's what I call dedication. You are a professional! Can't wait to see them. | |
| Audio Research PH3 service, upgrades Agree with what Jafox recommends and I would add that if the unit has not been powered up for several months/years the cheapest insurance is to power it up slowly using a Variac. The advice I got was to start at 10% voltage (i.e. 12 VAC) and incre... | |
| help w/ an old pair of Goetz speakers I had a pair of these and was I glad to get rid of them! I know Mr. Goetz lived in the Atlanta area about 20 years ago because I bought mine from him. I've seen a few references to him since then but nothing in the last five years or so. As I reca... | |
| Best SACD-CD Player under $1000? If you don't mind buying used the Phillips 963SA is real nice sounding player in the $200 to $300 range. This unit has been out of production for more than a year so I doubt you will find a leftover, but you never know. I have one and have been ve... | |
| Best sounding SACD disc? As Ellery911 points out Duanea has another thread asking if he should buy the W/P 6. In actuality he has not one but two threads asking if he should buy the W/P 6. One is on the same day as this thread! The other is from last November. Going furth... | |
| Audio Research research There is a privately created Audio Research database that has been discussed here before. It is the best you will find. Here's the address: http://www.arcdb.ws/ | |
| Frustrated with WBT upgrade : need advice Are you using regular male RCA's with the female nextgens? Unless WBT says this is OK that might be part or all of the problem. | |
| Acoustic Treatments recently advertised on Stereop How about acoustics.com or aixfoam.com ? | |
| How much power really required for Vandy 3A sig You'll be fine for at least the time being. I drive these speakers with an Audio Research Classic 60 with no problem. I do have a much smaller room and usually don't listen real loud, but I think you will be OK if you listen at less than hearing l... | |
| Can IC's and Speaker Wire drastically affect bass? I'm not familiar with the gear you have, but from a general sense are you sure you have everything hooked up properly? The powered sub could be an issue. If it is not a hook up issue you could have a serious room issue that is absorbing the more n... | |
| Vandy 2ci -- ??? Help with replacement ideas You might want to have a listen to some of the smaller ProAc's, like the Studio 1 or Studio 100, or if your budget can stretch a little the Response 1. The larger floorstanding ProAc's, Response 2.5/2.8 or the newer D115, would be a good choice bu... | |
| One Level High One Shelf LP Storage If you are looking for a ready to use system the Per Madsen Rackit modular system is pretty nice. Here's a link: http://www.rackittm.com/ I'm sure there are others but these folks have been around for a long time so they must be doing something ri... | |
| So my wife says to me this morning I seem to recall discussion on the Regas with respect to them running fast. Perhaps there is a speed issue causing the difference? Do you have a speed controller such as the SDS for the Scout? There may also be a compatibility issue with the cartr... | |
| When to replace 6550c on ARC VT 100 III You might want to check out this link from the Tube Store: http://mycollins.net/audio/artube1.html One of their customers sent them his procedure for biasing a VT100. One of the down sides to tubes is they do tend to fade away slowly so the perfor... |
