  1. Hi Link don't work on how to transfert pentode to triode for a CAV50? anyone have a pic? regards
  2. Yes in coma and broke when i have to sell my laScala and than the Belle, to start a family... i was always hoping for a pair of Heresy, but could not find something affordable and to go with my taste (don't like black speaker), and Sunday, out of nowhere i had the chance to buy a pair of Forte to go with my impulsive purchase of a CJ on ebay. i have wait 18 years to buy a CJ CAV50, so i guess i am very patient....
  3. You bet i Will, my old prestige tannoy are for sale... Great match with my CAV-50 from CJ! Happy, i am Happy!
  4. Finally, i have bought some klipsch speaker, but could not tell if it is Forte, Quartet, Quorus or else On sticker it is written: Type: FOR II WO serial 90018494 90-19426 02/20/90 03/09/90 So could someone explain to me the Klipsch Sticker and tell me what i have purchased, i know it is Klipsch Speaker, but more precisely what model? thanks for any help, you could provide, sound is good!
  5. The beast has arrived, lovely sound, i am very happy! One question? as EL34 replacement, what do you suggest to put in there? What i have on it is mostly JJ as 12au7 and chinese 12ax7 and 6ns7 and el34 are sovtek, since i have purchased a use one, my guess is tube could have some mileage on them? so what would be an affordable replacement? in a tubesture kind of way or tubedepot way? Thanks for anyhelp provided! regards
  6. Good Day, Need to hear your comment on your experience with CJ and Klipsch? i have finally acquire a CJ CAV50, and was wondering which vintage kiipsch play better with it? Heresy, Belle, Cornwall, KG4, Chorus? i have sold my Belle this spring, i miss them... regards
  7. Order the odioquest, will listen? Change the cheap for inexpensive, but it is bizarre as our society grow older it became sensible for wording? so now we are not old anymore, we are experienced and we are not a society, we are a community,... and it is not wording it is marketing or branding...
  8. i was looking for a USB DAC, cheap and sounding great, i have found this http://www.henryaudio.com comment we're good, and so far it is sounding great and i tend to agree with review it ad. Any comment on this dac? it is supposed to be open source, what does that mean, that i could upgrade it? with tube output? or that sort of thing? regards
  9. Just to let you know, lately i have a hum, after few research myself and with the help of the cable guy, he discover that the cable company installation has forgot to ground there cable before going in the house, so when i was hooking tv on computer, there was a hum in the system, took me two week to find the source and then cable guy work 2 hours, checking cable from the house to the pole. Still enjoy my amp, great bargain, lovely sound. One upgrade i want to do, is to replace the potentiometer for volume, any clue to what i should put in? regards ps, i am looking maybe for my other hifi room to buy a cav45 from CJ, is it a good choice? any comment? maybe i should star a new post for this one?
  10. here my reading listening music. bill evans
  11. ok my reading was with a aps on ipod, with a mike, but was 1 in the morning, no appliance working and everything was deep quiet, but during the day it is more in the 55db, so i'll guess my room is average. Will invest in this, just curious: https://www.amazon.ca/ER-CHEN-Measurement-Detectors-Frequency/dp/B012I6D0XC/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1493259455&sr=8-4-fkmr1&keywords=noise+floor+reading
  12. Good evening, as always, i am tuning my listening room and here my questioning on the subject? How high, is the noise floor in your listening room, when everything is quiet? i have a reading of 35db? is it good? regards
  13. Sorry, wrong post, i tought i was in right this minute
  14. Good Day, I have 2 system, one tube and one transistor and i am thinking about to make some change in my transistor system i have the Bryston duo 11B+4B amp (big and heavy with the ST upgraded in it made by Bryston in the old 4B version), since i don't have a turntable anymore and find this duo little bit powerful, i think about downgrading my transistor system to the new Bryston B60R with dac inside. Anyone try the new B60R? how is the sound, smoother? would you recommend it? or should i go with the 2B LP pro and keep my preamp, in case i go back turntable? what do you think? regards
  15. So my NOS Marconi are in good hand, the amps is long to break-in almost 6 month/12 hours a day, but after that smooth sound, and voicing is incredible. NOS ad a little something on the warm side and this amp is dead quiet (i mean noise floor), one of the quietest i had so far. As far as i could afford it, i'll go with north american product, but here, it was a steal deal and most likely "tweakable" if needed by my 80years old technician that help me in the past bring back to life old tube amp and tube receiver.
  16. So far, the seller told me, it is auto bias, so your infos is correct, btw, there on sale on amazon to!
  17. here what was written in original ad: (sorry for bold text, it is cut and paste) "2A3C is compatible with 2A3 and 2A3B . Direct heating cathode and low power consumption. Two triodes can be used for class A and AB amplification". What does that mean? regards
  18. no ranged print. NOS Marconi are on, couldn't wait, but will keep china as backup and no manual, but found seller contact and send my question, so far the only thing i learn it is for the noise floor. it is suggested to play with them until there's no noise? not sure if i understand this and why?
  19. Could not resist that candy red look! it work flawless. And banzai, i have put the tube on, sound amazing! but not sure i have the proper "noise" adjustment? only downsize, no phone socket. ps i found back the seller, send a question, will wait and see! Sometimes i am to much in the problem to think outside the box... Thanks
  20. Good Day all, i have purchased a 2a3 Bowei integrated amp on ebay, and it plays well. Now i want to upgrade chinese tube on it. there is 2 potentiometer (behind the tube), i could access with a screwdriver. Does anyone knows what is the purpose of those potentiometer? Could not find anything on it, so my guess was to ask you all? Also tube on this amp are weird, could i replace them with something more standard or NOS? exemple 2a3C=?; GZ3=? and 6h8c=? regards
