    thanks to the organisers for making this happen - as well as everyone who contributed their wonderful equipment!!!

     

    don't think the Diva amp could drive the K1000 - had requested for mine to be tweaked for that - started clipping around 1130 onwards .... my Diva is still with TS - Steve mentioned that the transformer needed to be replaced ... still waiting for it, will bring it to the next meet.

     

    :DD

    as a previous newbie tube user (cayin) it isn't difficult to remove and replace the tube. u can slowly pull out the tube and insert new one in. if you buy the tube from frankie of wells audio (Burlington Square), he may help u replace the tube.

     

    do a search on the forum and u can find some previous threads on tube rolling for the cayin. i have experience with the mullards only.

     

    cheers

    just to share with u my limited experience in cdp, i have moved from a marantz 5400 to a cambridge azur 640c v1 to finally to a ts lim modded marantz 63se (doesn't mean i will stop here, just that i limit my listening to new cdps to protect my wallet).

     

    my 2 cents, to my years (ymmv), i can hear a big enough difference moving from one cdp to another.

     

    u can either buy the cheapest "decent" cdp or go max of your budget. the best is try both and see whether you can tell the difference and if the difference is worth the money. if you buy the "decent" one now, u may be tempted to upgrade later (probably like many of us). but if you go straight to the most expensive one you can afford, you may realise later it may not be worth the difference, ymmv.

    Hi Guys

     

    I unfortuntabley got the connector socket of Zu Mobius cable to the cup of the Senn HD6** headphone loosen (no camera so can't post pics to show it). The plastic cover over the two pin sockets on one side has been separated from the cable.

     

    Anyone know where I can get it fixed in Spore or knows to how to fix it? Tried Robert at LHS but he wasn't very sure how to do it.

     

    Appreciate all the help!

     

    Cheers and thanks.

    for sgd200 budget, you can get China made amps like Little Dot, Xiangsheng, Original Master Amp or DIY RA-1. You can join in the mass order for the Little Dot amps (both portable and desktop models) and once in a while, someone will bring in a Xiangsheng or Original Master amp.

     

     

     

     

    erm it actually depends,

    PA2v2 and CMOY are both portable amps, so being portable, people usually hook it up to a portable device via lineout, so a RCA out is quite pointless in this sense.

     

    RCA, coaxial;(sp??) and optical lineout usually applies for destop amps,so as to be hooked up to a CDP etc.

     

    prices wise, the range is super wide, so i cannot really comment on that. $200 should be able to get you a decent amp in my opinion.

    Thank you to all the mods and administrators (past and current) on making this forum available.

     

    Won't be in this hobby if not for this website and invaluable tips from forumers.

    C'mon man. Is $10 by paypal do-able? Or $20? Work it as an annual subscription? I want this forum to survive.

    if i remember correctly, there was some thread on echoloft a few months ago on using pumice stone for this purpose ... according to the echoloft guys, apparently quite a number of Guardian pharmacies ran out of pumice stone after the thread expanded!!!
