Levinson DAC needs kidney
Hi. I have a No 35 with one dead channel. I've taken it apart, and some of the resistors are burning up - the DAC on that channel is probably putting out too much current or something. Can I replace it with any donor UA D20400 DAC, or is the Levin... 
drivers for celestion 700 available ?
Old thread but..The woofer for the SL700 is the same as that for the SL6S. So you can cannabalize an SL6S not an SL6) for woofers.Celestion in boston still has the tweeeters for about $50 each as of 2 years ago, when I bought some spares. 
Tubes for ARC PH3SE
I really like Siemens e88cc in mine. 
Midrange Better Than Harbeth or Spendor?
I would find an old pair of Spendor BC1 or BC3. I had a pair of SP8, and the BC3 stock had better midrange, but BC3 modded made the SP8 sound unrealistic.I had a pair of Proac Resp 3.5 that were better than the SP8, esp in the midrange but also mu... 
MC TRANSFORMERS VS TUBE PRE PRE
I've only briefly tried Jensen stepups (I use them with a 2nd TT for background listening), and definately prefer my ARC MCP33 or Music Ref RM4 over the Jensen (going into an upgraded ARC PH3). The MCP33 is more musical than the RM4, while the RM4... 
Best "RedBook" player out there
See the thread I started on audioasylum. http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/digital/messages/128493.htmlFor a 1 box, I'd try an ARC CD3, Mk I for $2200-2400, or Mk2 for around $3k.I ended up with an ARC DAC3 + Levinson 31 transport. I paid less than... 
Spendor BC1's -How do you set them up best?
You should search the archives of the Spendor Yahoo group. There is LOTS of information on how to best set up the BC1s, and how to tweak them to improve the bass (port modification), and how to rebuild the crossovers. That being said, you can figu... 
Bridging mono amps
Thanks again for the responses. I'll probably try this over the holidays - have all the equipment, so not much to loose, except my wife yelling at me for the mess it'll create. The history: system generated great sound incl bass w/ my Rogers Studi... 
Bridging mono amps
Thanks very much. . Driving the amps w/ an inverted signal is easy..the preamp has 2 pairs of outputs, 1 pair is inverted.How do I figure out the polarity of the speaker wires? Does the red go to the amp thats getting the regular non-inverted prea...

Audionote Soara MC cartridge - specs wanted
Thank you, Joe. I think it'd be Kondo, not UK. I'll look into Ambience Audio. Samir. 
Best loading for Monster Cable Sigma Genesis 2000
Curious if anyone has compared these cartridges back to back, since they are made by the same person? Are the ZYX's an evolution of the Monster cartridges, or totally different. I just put my SG2000 back on after a retipping, and am loving the sou... 
What LPs do you use for VTA adjustment
Now, this is an album I can relate to! I'm a huge Moody Blues fan, and this is one of my favorite albums too. I dialed in my VTA on my vdH MC10 + SME V, and got to the point that I was happy, and have not touched it in months..But, I think I'm goi... 
Naim CD5/Flatcap2 - can they be stacked
Thanks. I'll give it a shot. 
Shipping Vinyl LP's
Make sure you pack them *really* well. When my wife moved here from CA, she used USPS to ship her LPs..they never got here. She used book boxes, and media mail. The box must have disintegrated..You may want to have many small packages, no more tha...
