| Clearaudio Innovation Wood vs. TW Acoustic I've never heard the TW but owned the Innovation Wood for a couple of years, so I can comment on it. I found it fast and lively with deep, solid bass and pretty good tonal balance that was biased toward leanness. I used a Phantom II and a Clearaud... | |
| Allnic M-3000 monoblocks Cool! Please post your impressions. | |
| To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen I owned 3A Sigs for a couple of years, spent a lot of time fine-tuning their set-up, and got them to sound really nice. While not the final word in resolution or dynamics, they are remarkably organized, coherent and convincing, and deliver plenty ... | |
| Tube preamp for SS amp Interesting. Thanks, Ralph. | |
| Tube preamp for SS amp Not sure about your price-range but VAC is a thought. I run a Phi Beta pre-amp into Bryston 28B-SST2 amps and the combo works beautifully together. This VAC model, like the Signature 2a, is based on the 8416 tube, an Amperex 12v version of the 6DJ... | |
| Turn table speed variation question Frogman, thank you for the fascinating and highly educational posts. Best,Bill | |
| Best step up transformer for Benz Micro LP S I use a Bob's SKY 30 with my Kansui. It utilizes Cinemag Blue transformers and is switchable from 1:15 to 1:30. Excellent sound. | |
| Isolation platforms for turntables You'll find some good feedback (as it were) if you do a search on Vibraplane and Minus-K. Both are excellent solutions. | |
| Tube rolling 12AX7As I'll echo Wolf_garcia in recommending the Psvanes. When I owned the C2300 they were my favorite, and I rolled in plenty of NOS and new production 12AX7. RCA black long-plates from the '50s were also nice in that pre-amp, but they're a bit pricier ... | |
| Turntables and power conditioners? Hi Gilles130,I use a Monarchy AC-regenerator, which was very highly recommended by Jean Nantais, who rebuilt my Lenco to what he calls Reference Mk II status. At least with this turntable, the re-generator results in better focus of instruments, c... | |
| Turntables and power conditioners? Dougdeacon nailed it. I use an AC re-generator dedicated solely to my turntables, which do not have separate controllers, to isolate them from the mains and feed them a constant 115v. I found this approach to sound better than plugging them into a... | |
| Allnic KS Park visit to USA Looks to be a fun and edifying event, one that I'll be sorry to miss. Now, if you could postpone it for 12 days, I'd be in Austin anyway...:) | |
| Allnic M-3000 monoblocks Thanks, Lak. Surprisingly little first-hand experience of these amps. | |
| Tube Rolling in the Allnic LS-3000 I bought an H-3000 phono recently, which uses the same tubes as the L-3000, I believe. My understanding is that people don't really roll tubes in Allnic pre-amps, other than the rectifier in the H-3000. Is there something about the sound you don't... | |
| Why my SUT hums only with certain phonostages ? Have you tried swapping in different ICs from the SUT to the RCM? Probably not the solution but worth checking. I have several sets of perfectly nice, unshielded ICs that cause an awful hum when placed between SUT and phonostage, although they're ... |
