SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, I just posted a follow-up note on my system page about the Ocellia power cord. It turns out to be much better than I realized. It just needed a better sounding IEC inlet on the preamp it... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
Jazz Lover's Vinyl SystemIt turns out the Ocellia power cord is better than I thought it was. A while back Charles1dad asked me about it and I posted that it sounded good but it didn't impress me as much as the Ocellia in... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJet, good to hear the screen regulation seems to be working for you. I know your wife is probably right that you should leave the amps alone for a while, but I am curious nevertheless what you will... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonNice report Jet! I look forward to hearing what you think of the regulator for the screen voltage. posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonI really like the sound of Genalex reissue KT-77 tubes but my experience is limited to push-pull designs. I have never used a 12AU7 except as cathode follower so can't help there. posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonGranny, what types of tubes are in the new amp? posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
Vintage (mostly)I have a couple questions concerning the mods to your HF-35. Did Stuart change the input tube to a 12AX7 instead of EF-86? And did he change the amps to fixed bias, i.e. adjustable bias, as opposed... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonI have used Electra-Print for all of my SE projects. They are high quality and reasonably priced. I recommend going for the Partial Silver Secondary series. Compared to the standard all-copper seri... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |

Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonThat's good news Jet. Thanks for the additional comments. While I am not familiar with your Lexus cable I would expect it to be a synergistic match to your AN speakers, so your reactions to the WE ... posted almost 9 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonHow would you characterize the low end on the WE wire, in terms of extension, fullness and detail? Those were the areas where I had concerns with my WE wire but I only used it for a few hou... posted almost 9 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJet,Are you using any connectors on the WE 16g wire such as spades or just the bare ends? What type of RCA plugs have you attached to the Belden? posted almost 9 years ago | View comment | |
Jazz Lover's Vinyl SystemBojack, I couldn't agree more with your comment about Spendors. I used to hear the SP-1/2 fairly often at my dealer and I have a lot of respect for them. posted almost 9 years ago | View comment | |
Jazz Lover's Vinyl SystemGranny, I should probably have withheld comment on the WE 16g wire since my WE wires have so few hours use. I hope to get around to trying them again soon.Charles, I have Ocellia interconne... posted almost 9 years ago | View comment | |
Jazz Lover's Vinyl SystemI tried the WE 16g briefly, maybe 4 or 5 hours, and didn't like the tonal balance---too bright and too lean. It was certainly lively sounding and had pretty decent detail but the tonal balance was ... posted almost 9 years ago | View comment | |
