| ST 70 best sounding version? "....just not a 5AR4." Noted :) | |
| ST 70 best sounding version? FYI: Bob Latino sells his wares on http://www.tubes4hifi.com/, along with Roy Mottram who sells pre-amp kits and customizations to original Dynaco 70s.Regarding recitfer tube vs SS, Bob’s amp can run either without issue. In addition, there are a ... | |
| How long should Pre amp (12au7) tubes last in Rogue Preamp? I'm no expert but I always thought driver tubes are not run very hard and should last like two or even three times as long when compared to the amp's output tubes (which run anywhere from 2000 to 6000 hours depending on how hard you drive them and... | |
| ST 120 tube amp repair I should have mentioned audiobill is one of the guys who assemble VTA ST120’s for Bob and is in Philly. Super sharp tech at super fair price.... | |
| ST 120 tube amp repair I’d ship it to Audiobill—he does excellent work and is super easy to deal with. Shipping will cost you $75 bucks but that is about the cost of time/gas if you drive it a couple hundred miles to/from a repair shop.jay | |
| Magnepan 3.6 or 3.7 I’d go for the 3.7s assuming the cost differential is not a big issue for you and you don’t want to bi-amp (two assumptions on my part I realize). Reason?1. The last 3.6s were made nearly ten years ago, and this pair could be much older. Just seem... | |

| Legacy Studio HD Steve, did you purchase a pair yet? | |
| Legacy Studio HD I think they are a good value because as monitors go I don't know why you'd ever purchase another. That said, at the $1750 price point there are so many choices, especially if you are also open to used. I hardly ever see them on the used market--... | |
| Legacy Studio HD Sure. Just be aware that 50 watt tube may not push them where you want them to go depending on your taste in music.If you like it loud and loads of dynamic range, like symphony or rock, you may want to look elsewhere. I listen largely to voice, a... | |
| Legacy Studio HD I own a pair of Studio HD for about 2 years now. Purchased used for about $1k—in perfect shape. Use them near-field small room listening only. They sit on weighted 24” stands. I drive them with a 60 watt tube amp or a 400 watt D-sonic SS amp depen... | |
| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors http://images.klipsch.com/RB81IIcutsheet_635042118979170000.pdfNot to disparage low cost speakers but always thought of this line as mass market HT stuff? How do they sound compared to traditional Klipsch Heritage Series Heresy III? | |
| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors I agree. I don't use a pre-amp and have a nice 21 step attenuator on my VTA 120 amp. The DAC puts out plenty of signal to drive the amp. Regarding the hearing loss not much to say beyond I tend to favor 'brighter' presentation speakers to help com... | |
| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors I do have the curves however my hearing aids already compensate for the loss where they can. Putting them in (both ears) literally turns on the treble for me when listening. The units are 15 or 20 channel programmable and set when I go for an audi... | |
