Review: Quicksilver 8417 Tube amp
Chiming in on an almost 13-year-old thread, however, has anyone continued to have good results running the 8417 amp with different bias pots, and 6550 tubes? Sounds like an answer to a problem, if it doesn't stress the input stage of the amp too m... 
Good impedance match for Precision Fidelity C-7AR
Follow-Up:After checking, there was one large high voltage capacitor which was leaking a small amount, and, after replacing and breaking in the replacement for a few hours, the PF is back in fine operation once again. Thank you to everyone who con... 
Good impedance match for Precision Fidelity C-7AR
Almarg,Thank you very much for your excellent reply, and especially for taking the time to do the measurements. I will definitely try cleaning the pots before I consider replacing them. The Grado Sig 8MX can also be replaced with a lower output ca... 
Good impedance match for Precision Fidelity C-7AR
Ghosthouse,Thanks for replying. I will try using them on the inputs in varying places. I appreciate the suggestion about Harrison Labs attenuators, and I may try those, also. It may be that the gain needs to be lowered in the tube stage before the... 
Good impedance match for Precision Fidelity C-7AR
Viridian/Georgelofi,I have the Rothwell attenuators, and while they do provide more rotation on the volume control, they also take away some of the high and low frequencies. It does act more like a gain problem, but the VC may also be a culprit. T... 
Good impedance match for Precision Fidelity C-7AR
Almarg,The speakers are Joseph Audio RM-25iii (86.5dB), Grace 707/Grado Sig 8MX cart(4.5mV) and the amp is a Michaelson & Austin TVA-1 (100Kohm input), Grover Huffman IC's between PF and TVA-1 amp with AntiCable speaker cable. The pots on the ...

I have been looking for the J Peter Moncrieff article on the original Well Tempered Turntable...does anyone have a copy or link to it? Looking for info on setting one up. Thanks.

Would it be possible to re-post the videos? I have a WTT I would like to set up and documentation is scarce. 
Amp for Joseph RM-25si ?
Bnrlaw, thanks so much for your responses. Your amp choices look intriguing, and the Gamut D-200 is new to me, although I see the reviews of it are very favorable. Have you found a particular cable/IC to work better than another with your Manleys ... 
Amp for Joseph RM-25si ?
I would be looking for tubed amplification. It sounds like you are bi-amping your setup. I have a Forte amp I could use for the low end. If you are bi-amping, what changes did it bring to the overall presentation?
