| Upgrading my PV-15 I would buy a used CJ Premier LS17 (series II if you can afford it) or, buy a PV 14L and have Bob Backert modify it.Here is his website:http://www.rhbsounddezign.com/Do a search for Bob Backert here and on AA to see user comments.Good luck. | |
| affordable long run IC Thanks Cincy bob!In what type of application is shielding necessary? I have read that shielding does degrade performance, but I'm afraid I may need it.BTW -- NICE system! | |
| affordable long run IC Cincy bob,Are the MA3s shielded? Soon I will need a 3m single-ended run of ICs and I'm looking at the MA3s as a possibility. Thanks. | |
| Top two channel pre w/HT passthrough XLR best Aesthetix Janus (w/ phono) or Calypso (w/o phono) meet your requirements and very nicely I might add. HT bypass is switchable from the remote and it is programmable. In bypass mode, the preamp can actually be completely turned off. Some on this an... | |
| Who do you like for equipment mods? Bob Backert. I had Bob modify a CJ preamp some years ago and the results were staggering. I've since sold the preamp and had to spend almost 3x the $ to better the sound, albeit marginally. Excellent work -- fair pricing. | |
| Best tube amp for stock AKG 701 head phones I don't know what your budget is and I'm not familiar with the amps you've listed, but I would look at one of these:http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/index.htmThe Eartube to be exact. I have an HA2-SE and I'm very happy with it. Dr. Meie... | |
| Audiogon speaker wire gurus, please help me Tcheathertree,If you are still not "there" yet, perhaps try changing the tubes in your preamp. I think you would be able to fine tune the sound easier this way. There are probably many warm-sounding 6DJ8s available. | |
| AV123 Mini; Salk HT3; Devore Gibbon Super 8 As an HT3 owner, I reiterate what Audiotomb said and I'll add the gorgeous wood cabinetry and superb craftmanship to go along with it. | |
| Compliance & Efffective Mass Question Try this:http://www.cartridgedb.com/I've found this to be "plug and play" so to speak.I've used, but I cannot, however, verify its accuracy. | |
| Salk HT3 vs Sonus Faber Domus Grand Piano I auditioned a pair of SF Cremonas months ago and while I liked the overall sound, they did not excite me. In fact, they sounded a bit tame (e.g. muddied in the midrange and rolled off in the high freqs). I believe I read somewhere that these are ... | |
| Who mods the EAR 834P Rdenoble,It is not harsh at all. You should have been here to receive the TT I bought from Brian!No wonder the FedEx guy ran away after leaving it on my doorstep!Brian did NOTHING to rectify the situation. It took me months to get the parts I need... | |
| Who mods the EAR 834P You can also contact PartsConnexion. Chris Johnson is the founder and also former owner of Sonic Frontiers.If it was my choice and I had the $, GNS first, PCX second, Mitch third, and Analog Room -- never.Just my .02. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone While it saddens me to know that Pat has passed, I know that he is with the Lord and his physical suffering has ended.May God continue to bless you Barb and may you continue to feel Pat's love from above. | |
| Recommedation to drive Electrostatics? ML, Inner? As a former Innersound Eros owner, I would have to say that the Innersound ESL300 amp will be one of the best "bang for your buck" amps you could find. As Bignerd recommended, I would also use a tube preamp. I would stay away from tube power amps.... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone I've been following this thread since its inception though have I've not posted since I really can't think of anything to say that has not already been said. I will say this though; this is one of the most touching threads I've ever read anywhere ... |
