| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... atmasphere - yes! That was the show & yes, I felt that the fi 2a3 monos did sound best; however, every amp sounded pretty amazing to me. Quite a bit of stereo celebrities in that room that day. Actually, at the time, I was just getting back... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Recently bought a $40 pair bookshelf speakers from CL that are just stupid good for the money. They are a diy version of early Rega speakers, Rega Kytes I believe. I'm sure they trounce speakers costing many times more. I find there are a lot o... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... Two audio shows really shaped my opinions on tube gear. One was a single ended symposium put on by Stereophile mag in the early-mid 90's in Philadelphia and it was the first time I heard SET gear. That day I heard 845 amps, 300b, 211, and 2A3 am... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... For a near field desktop system and to get into tubes, check out the miniwatt 6AD10 single ended amp. It's 3.5 wpc, single ended, and won't set you back much. You'd be surprised just how loud 1 watt can get with the right speakers and they are s... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... Agree strongly that tubes sound better. I've been in this hobby 30+ years and have had many different set ups but when I have tube gear, I tend to keep it much longer than when I have SS. When I have SS, I'm never really satisifed as I am when I... | |
| What is the name of your system? I think that many of us could all call our systems "Insatiable" in that we're never satisfied with them | |
| What is the name of your system? Sounds like you name it after your favorite piece (of equipment). I'll call mine Jennifer then :) | |
| What is the name of your system? I often thought of forming an audio system based on alphabet letter. My current system consists of a Tandberg 3012 integrated and Thorens TD 125 mk II turntable. I guess I should get a pair of Thiels, Tannoys, or Tyler speakers, then maybe get r... | |
| How to properly put audio equipment on top of an antique buffet cabinet? Buy a good wood cutting board from IKEA or Bed Bath & Beyond with felt underneath | |
| Budget American made speakers? Another vote for Omegas, Louis is a cabinet maker by trade I believe and his cabinetry is beautiful. I had a rare early pair of the Grande 8's a while back in Sapele that were awesome. Now he uses better drivers and his stuff always seems to be ... | |
| Buyer wants copy of passport? Wow!!! An eye opener, but some of these responses are hilarious! | |
| Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes? +1 - Agree with Trelja and NoromanceFrom my 35+ years experience in this hobby, power corrupts, and have your ever really heard how loud 1 watt/channel can get? We only have 1 set of ears and I like mine to last as long as possible. A lesson I w... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com Willemj, per your message:" lou_setriodes,You are I think too fast in your scepticism about that Yamaha amplifier. Did you actually read the review of the Yamaha P3500S that I linked to, and the very detailed measurements that the reviewer publish... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com Food for thought here:You said: " The Yamaha AS2000 costs 3 times as much. I’m not sure it would give me a 3x better experience. And with a 30 day return policy, it would be hard to give it a 100 hr break-in and stay within that return window."Rep... |
