Another congrats from to another Dawg fan here in Atlanta. Ran across this looking at BAT comments as I'm going balanced hence BAT. Should be a real pleasure for you as the equipment settles in and you experience those ah ha listening sessions.
Hi Marc,
Never tricked out the Trans Fi like you have and had some problems with the bearing. WIthout Vic around to solve a couple of things decided to make the switch. I hear some thing from idlers that are my cup of tea so next logical thing was Lenco. Pleased.
After my hiatus from what was then a decent system, kids, divorce and relative poverty, once again down the rabbit hole. Trans fi Salvation/Terminator arm ala Marc for about ten years. Switched to a JTN Nantais Reference 3 this past year and recently had a Kuzma 4point 14 setup by Brian Walsh...
So balanced amplifiers that are push pull have an advantage. Being that push pull amps have quite an advantage in producing power from a set of tubes, will balanced in this case augment the quality of the signal in respect to improving the notch distortion? What other advantages?
AR Turntable (high end?) with a Rabco arm. But was equiped with Win strain gauge startling improvement. Made my dog jump up and he had listened many hours to my Shure.
IMO Zu Def 4s are the most underappreciated component. Not widely exposed, many are far more well informed here but have my pair in storage, about to unbox them for another run.
I feel you, the Audiopax M100s in my system use 6 per channel. I have 12 tubes by 4 different manufacturers. Then considered the investment in my system overall and bit the bullet. Next best has been Sophia KT88. Psvane-good bass not as resolving. The step up in resoluton with the KR was worth...
Have run 6550/Kt88 in every amp forever. Have 10 or so brands, NOS/new issue you name it.
KR KT88s fill the bill. Don't want to be wordy here, don't need to. Best resolution and balance, very convincing.
Fortunately I'm pretty close to Jim’s home as well. Locating everything precisely, things were pretty close to start with, but refining those points paid dividends without a doubt.
His attention to detail regarding getting an even bass response as well as the correct setting of gain from the...
Hello Hugh,
Happy to see Dennis come out with the follow up to your project. Nothing like seeing a well thought endeavor come to fruition. Getting to hear it, however briefly, was certainly an eye/ear opener. Also, the visual experience only adds to the dramatic effect, enhancing the experience...
Hi CK,
Have you tried the filters on your outlets?
Presently I use two balanced power transformer units. All the dedicated lines are run through a wall unit from Equi=Tech. I also run my front end through a BPT 3.5 Sig Plus which is actually in line plugged into one of the dedicated lines, so...
Hugh,
Can't really say as to better or not.
I cut my wall and ran 10 gauge romex. Didn't know different.
Go to JPS Labs AC Power cables and scroll down, the wire is near the bottom.
I have very efficient speakers but no one told me that AC noise would be a problem. I too have a wall unit...
