| Best Receiver? Fisher 500C! I forgot about that one. Heard it years ago. That's a great candidate. Thanks! | |
| Audio Research in Receivership. Eventually you run out of super rich folks to buy your stuff, especially with the large amount of boutique brands at their price point. This is just failing to keep up with the changing marketplace. | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @Dover had it right. Keep the CB-L and go with a Kuzma Stabi R and get two headshell plates to mount different cartridges and swap them out. That's a rig that would be hard to beat. You could spend twice as much and you'd get something different b... | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? I had the ASR and I liked it better than the steelhead. it was my favorite solid state, way better than the EAR 324. It takes up a LOT of space. I also don't think it's in the ballpark of the Lamm. There's just something special about their produc... | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? Find a Lamm LP2.1. I’ve heard a Steelhead and the Lamm would be a huge upgrade. They pop up used in your price range. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I should try one. Those are two tubes I have not listened to, not counting a Quad amp I borrowed for a day. | |
| Wood case source? These are really good questions! I was thinking I would just provide a photo of the stock wood case and dimensions. I think in general, the cases are oiled walnut. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? So the best that I've heard so far is the Scott 222C. Wow. Sounds like my SET but with more power. It's an integrated with Amperex EL84s, a Mullard 5AR4 and Tele 12AX7s, but it sounds great even bypassing my Lamm preamp. A tiny bit rough around th... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? @bdp24 Beat me to it :) | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? His ESL sounded incredible by the way! | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I heard those ESLs around that time. We probably passed each other on the 405. I went to see him a couple times to work on my RM-9. He discussed wanting to buy. ARC, which was rumored to be up for sale at that point, because he knew everything tha... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Thank you. Very useful info! I’m thinking now of keeping the RM10 and assembling a ESL57 system with an LP12 and a Marantz 7 Pre. An all mid century looking system! | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? All true so far. My guess is it's going to be a great amp to have, sitting next to my SET when I am on a non-bass kick. I sounds awesome and is a work of art. I was hoping to replace the SET but maybe I just need to keep two amps to use depending... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? It has lovely balls. It's winning me over. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? pdreher, you may want to try a SET amp with those Altecs. You'd be surprised at how much you can get from 9W with very good iron. So far, my new RM-10 is actually a bit bass shy compared to the 300B SET amp I have. I've ordered other EL84 tubes to... |
