Re: Hello from Germany
Hi and thanks for the advice. You'r right. Only one change at one time otherwise there is not much sense in comparisons. As far as I can say by now the amp sounds splendid with the passive Kohzmo pre although there seems one 5751 to be worn. The effect is that the imaging is shifted slightly to one ...

Re: Hello from Germany
Thanks, Peter. I will follow your advice and will first listen to the tubes supplied with the amp. The 6550s ar Svetlanas as far as I can see. Then I will also try finding the perfect match with the preamps I have. Let's see. First of all the voltage has to be adjusted on the power transformer. You ...

Re: Help. Looking for a Tube amp
I have always been a fan of bi-amping or tri-amping speakers, and with a a $2500 budget there are several possibilities if your a patient for good deals. Marchand(I think I spelled it right), used to and probably still does make good tube crossovers. You can get that mv-55 for the highs and still ...

Re: What do you play to demo your system?
Well it really depends on what the system is trying to achieve. For home audio first grab is the opening to "Money" by Pink Floyd(gotta hear exactly where those coins touch and drop, as well as the cashier machine. Vinyl... "Jazz at the Pawnshop"(JATPS) specifically for the background noise ...

Re: Atlanta -Georgia - USA ... Older Music & CJ Lover
Welcome! Regardless of your age, I KNOW those Klipschorns can get through to you with ample volume. If your hearing loss is like most, you will have a "squeezing" of the bandwidth you can hear(losing of the lower and upper frequencies). I know to many it is "unthinkable"(even unbearable...lol), but ...

Re: S.E.T. Vs CJ Amp
Can't say for sure. People do swear by them though they also have a reputation for being more particular about system setup. Need for higher efficiency speakers the biggest requirement. I have on order a Single Ended amp designed by Dennis Had of Cary fame. He is using a pair of KT150's power tubes ...

Re: CJ ART sa / 8 or 4 ohm
Hi Camusmuse Thanks for advice. Where can I find ZED? Are they in South Africa? The dealer that sells Audio Research has a guy they use in Cape Town. I will probably use him when CJ have finally responded with some diagnostic advice and then sent parts! No doubt, this will take months. No they are ...

Re: CJ ART sa / 8 or 4 ohm
Might wanna see if you can pickup a tube tester. With the amount spent on the gear, a tester is relatively inexpensive and will generally let you know exactly what condition your tubes are in...including remaining life span. Not to mention it can let you "match" your own sets if need be.

Re: CJ ART sa / 8 or 4 ohm
I wont edit the last, but it may be worth contacting Zed Audio. He is originally from S. Africa, and is the KING of high end CAR audio, but he knows more than most, and can repair anything. He made the OEM amps for SEVERAL US companies before they all went to the far east for "disposable" gear. Mr ...

HI Ray Yes, a stiff drink could help! I hope this is not an indication of things (smelly and burning) to come. Only trouble is I am in South Africa.

Re: KT-150 a drop in replacement for KT-120's?
Here are some spec sheets on the KT120 and KT150. Heater current is marginally higher for the KT150 but I wont pretend that I understand much of what any differences mean in a practical sense. Although I'm sure some of you do, so here they are: http://www.hebertech.com/datasheet/tung-sol/kt120.html ...

Re: KT-150 a drop in replacement for KT-120's?
Is it sad I want to use these tubes just cause they look so darn cool??? I have always loved the 300B, but price and lack of wattage, have always kept me away.

Re: Spin Clean Record Washer
When I first read about the Spin Clean I was also a little hesitant as the gold standard is the vacuum units. I had fears that the towel drying would leave a bunch of lint in the grooves which would cause it's own problems. However, I have not found that to be the case. I hand wash the towels every ...
