| Shangling Issues I was considering the SACD1.3 but now I won't bother. | |
| Shangling Issues Yes. Thank you for the correction. | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? My Bache Audio Tribeca speakers replaced a pair of Audio Physic Tempo Plus speakers. The Tempo's have pinpoint imaging, but the sense of scale was a bit smaller. I found placement of these speakers to be critical to get the sound dialed in. The Tr... | |
| SME 309 Tonearms: Production Years and Variations I have my 309 arm since 1999 and it came in the black and white box. | |
| Single driver full range speakers Check out the Tribeca speaker from Bache Audio. They use Tang Band wide band drivers, with the whizzer removed, flanked by 2 woofers and a Fostex tweeter. | |
| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? Check out the Electro-Harmonix 6CA7. My amps use 6550/KT88 tubes and I either prefer my NOS Tung Sols or the SED Wing C 6550s. I can understand why you like those Wing C tubes. I used the 6CA7 amps in a Conrad Johnson amp I had and prefer those ... | |
| Cartridge and/or phono stage upgrades I was looking to upgrade my phono stage for my Lyra Kleos. Modwright and some others were on the list. Instead I bought a Sound-Smith Sussurro MKII Gold, Sound-Smith's MC phono stage, and an SBooster power supply. I was able to buy a demo cartridg... | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion I recently bought a the Sussurro MKII Gold along with the MCP2 phono stage. I've been playing around with 1500 - 5K ohm loading. SS recommends greater than 470 ohms but I prefer the higher settings. | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair Bache Audio. My Tribeca’s are very holographic. They replaced my rebuilt Quad 57s. | |
| Cary SLP 98 vs Benchmark LA4 Take a look at the Universal 6 or 12SN7 preamp from Mellow Tone Kits. You can buy it assembled if you want. I had the Cary SLP-98 many years ago and replaced it with an Emotive Audio Sira and then the Epifania, which I still own. I have many nice... | |
| Totem Element Metal Version 2 Loudspeaker Hi Ken, that was me. I sent you another message if you wanted to listen to the Metal V2s. I’m also in Long Island and have a hunch we know the same person, who actually recommended the Fires because I was originally interested in monitors. I had t... | |

The Rowland amp is class d and into 4 ohms it’s 800 watts per side. My tubes amps use 2 X 6550 tubes and are about 46 wat... | |
| Please Help. J. A. Michell Gyro SE - Speed Issue I noticed a similar issue with my Gyrodec, which I have since 2000. I recently installed the new springs, did an oil change, and changed the belt as well. The table is running just slightly fast. I have thought about replacing the original power... | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation with Plinius Hautonga Way back around 2000 I had a pair of Verity Parsifal monitors (original and then the encore) and used multiple amps, including the Plinius SA-100 MK II. Of everything that came and went throughout the years, I think I miss those speakers the most. |
