| An encounter and lesson in speaker prices ... mr-m,Funny you should mention. Listened last night to RW's Amused to Death LP no less. Sitting there in the money seat I start hearing the conversation accompanying What God Wants and it's coming from the back left corner of the room. As to out of... | |
| KT88 vs 6550 tubes My experience is that the vintage NOS tubes are considerably more reliable.As for Ebay while I have bought successfully there, when it comes to high dollar output tubes I am hesitant. I wil say that the tubes you use in these amps can make a big d... | |
| KT88 vs 6550 tubes I probably have 50 or so 6550s or KT88s. Unless you want the NOS Tung Sol 6550s which are pricy, the Genelex Gold Lions are a pretty good choice. I've had the 275s and have been running MC60s for the last few years. The reissue Tung Sols have real... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** All of us old timers are comfy with vinyl so a long journey with turns and tweaks, plus a library handy gives many of us satisfaction. You may not, with an entry level setup achieve an improvement over your digital, but there may be something you ... | |
| How I would measure cables And I'm thinking about power cables. Looking at the Fusion cables and Mr Love has his theories, which I find quite interesting. Now I've bought almost every piece of my system soley on recommendations and research from this site.However, with cabl... | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? When I want to be cheap and tawdry I play one cut that gets me every time: Steve Hunter The Deacon-The idler. Even sounds good on You Tube. | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles "Humility when self discovered is rarely a virtue" JKMy friends think a 10K audio system is a sinful extravagance. Well, not my real friends. To be honest I won't tell what I have in it. 10K well spent will get you some fine sounds. Enjoy! | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound To throw something else out there, on many occasions Ralph (Atma) has noted that balanced equipment lessens the need of expensive interconnects. Does the same go for power cords? I run differential components sans the power amps. Entire system run... | |
| Increase total Speaker Impedance -- Potential Solution Thanks Al. Nice to have expertise on the board. | |
| Increase total Speaker Impedance -- Potential Solution To further explore the amp-speaker interface, recently purchased an Audiopax Maggiore100 to pair with Zu Defintions. Noticed the output impedance is a bit high at 2.5 Ohms. The speakers are nominally 8 Ohm but dip to 6 ohms in the bass region. It'... | |
| beginner seperate system Quicksilver. Good reasonable tube amps. Mid monos by Quicksilver made the top 5 list for a respected audio expert with no skin in the game. Don't do Chinese, I did and it was terrible. | |
| How to pre clean a very dirty LP before Ultrasound Machine? Get some Audio Intelligent #15 mix 50/50 with warm water and set the record on a glass. Lavish the surface and let it set on the record from 4-5 minutes. Circular brush lightly with the white brushes from Last.The little white brushes are cheap an... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Moonglum, well said. On a good night, meaning a receptive mind coupled with good electricity, analog reproduction can be sublime. I'm looking forward to many more nights of being seduced. To me the best indicator of a pleasing audio experience is ... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I'm with Whart as to the necessary requirements for vinyl besting the digital domain. I have a very nice, to me, rig that I enjoy to no end and a nice collection of vinyl. Starting from scratch without a pretty good collection though, not so sure. | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? I’ve had my Def 4s about 5 years now and feel I can make some valid observations. They are very dependent on the amps and electronics upstream. Their transparency is revealed with certainty with the slightest variable introduced. Yes the right amp... |
