| Who could fix a driver on a Mission 781monitor If it's a woofer, have it repaired by Bill Legall of Millersound, (215) 412-7700.But, do the pair to keep them balanced, as the one he fixes will end up being better/stronger than the one you don't. Figure on a price of something like $40 - $65 fo... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp I have an AES AE3 DJH preamplifier, and agree with those who say it's a superior component.I bought it on the recommendation of my friends The Doctor (Mechans) and Joe (Slipknot1), two of the more discerning audiophiles I know, who both told me th... | |
| Repair in NJ/NY for Snell E-III ? Call Bill Legall at Millersound, in Southeastern Pennsylvania. He is by far the best person in this field, and his prices are astoundingly reasonable. (215) 412-7700. | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years Johnk, "Cone materials, surrounds,spiders, cone shapes, crossover parts, cabinet designs, binding posts sets, internal dampening all have improved for transducers."I agree with you, mostly...Although, I will say that some of the things we're told ... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years I definitely agree with the above. Most of the focus these days is on the cosmetic. Bookmatched veneers, piano gloss finish, and jewel-like binding posts are what seems to attract too many buyers.The best drivers have improved, but a lot of that h... | |
| top ten things you learned about HiFi on Agon Excellent post, Onhwy61! | |
| top ten things you learned about HiFi on Agon I'll third Entrope's Top 10 list. Gonna be hard to outdo that one. | |
| Coincident Eclipse vs Devore Mike, that was just my opinion. With a pair of 16 wpc 211 based monoblocks and push-pull integrateds using EL34 (35 wpc Class A/B), KT88 (30 wpc pure Class A), and 2A3 (12 wpc pure Class A) output tubes, we could never get them to come alive for m... | |
| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? One suggestion if you do decide to keep the JOR is to drill additional holes in the bottom plate (there are already a bucketful of them) inline with the resistors and potentiometers involved in the biasing procedure.As the disassembly and (especia... | |
| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? I think the KT88 are a good combination in the JOR, you get much more liquid mids than the KT90 and a lot more bass than the EL34. It's probably the best way to go in this amp. With my DA30 and DA60, I like the EL34, but those amps have more on th... | |
| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? The Ars Sonum is another outstanding choice in a tube integrated amplifier. With the Merlin loudspeakers, it's simply a match made in heaven. | |
| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? Mattzack2, thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.There's likely a VAC dealer in your area. From my experience, Audio Note is a bit more difficult to find, and Air Tight even harder.What tubes are you running in your JOR? Once I got replaced t... | |
| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? Saki70, the Air Tight I listened to was the EL34 based unit. In fact, I A/B'd it at the dealer I bought my JOR from in 1999. I was more than happy with both of them, one of the reasons I chose the Jadis was the ability to also play EL34 types in a... | |
| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? If you are intent on replacing the JOR, Clio09's VAC suggestion is a good one. I'll add Air Tight and Audio Note to what I believe should be a very short list. | |
| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? Personally, I would keep the JOR. So far, I've not found anything that eclipses a Jadis, though I want to try an Audio Note.I recently got my DA30 up on its feet, after spending a couple of years on the shelf gathering dust while I used my DA60 in... |
