| Best 6922 tubes for DAC I recently upgraded my amplifier's input tubes from Sovtek 6922's to EH 6922's. They are very similar, with better bass response coming from the EH tubes. You might give these some consideration, at $20 each new with gold pins. Don't go down the N... | |
| Sonic Frontier Power 1 Tubes After much playing around, I am happy with the EH tubes. They've come around nicely. The main difference between these and the Sovtek's I replaced is bass response. I've heard that tubes require some break-in time, but this is the first time I rea... | |

| Classic rock remasters.....24 bit/SACD The Kinks re-released 15 titles on SACD recently. | |
| Sony SCD-XA9000. Comments, Opinions? I've also had some interest here. It's hard to ignore a Stereophile A+ rated component that costs many thousands less than the other A+ entries. | |
| DAC's for the money? I own the Birdland Odeon-Ag. Fantastic. With the re-clocker it costs about $1800 new. You don't see them sold here very often. I assume it's because nobody will part with it once they've heard it.Cheers.Tom | |
| Rotel RB-1080 and Sonus Faber GP? I had the GP's hooked up to my Rotel RMB-1095 to great effect. Eventually, I re-arranged my systems and now the GP's are run by a Sonic Frontiers Power 1 amp (55 wpc tube). It is so ridicously good that I'm out of the upgrade business. So, if you'... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Sonic Frontiers Power 1 amp. 55 watts of tube bliss. I've never been in a high-end audio store that had a system that sounded better than mine. Bold statement, huh? It's so musical, I can listen to it endlessly. I probably show up to work late 2 d... | |
| Sonic Frontier Power 1 Tubes Update... The EH 6922's are sounding better after about 10 hours of use. I'm starting to like them (or am I getting used to them?). The bass response from the get-go has been excellent, but the midband seemed collapsed initially. Today midrange se... | |
| Sonic Frontier Power 1 Tubes I've put in JJ-Tesla KT-88's and I like them a lot. Today, I replaced the stock Sovtek 6922's with EH 6922 Gold Pins and so far I hate them. It sounds like I have blankets on my speakers. Do input tubes require some break in time? | |
| Best player of SACD's and HDCD's I looked around and can't find an SACD player that decodes HDCD. I assumed that the Music Hall Maverick ($1500) would, but the web site doesn't say that it does, so I'm assuming that it doesn't.I also have the SACDmods modified C222ES. I'm extreme... | |
| What I want to see in the next gen of SACD players Thanks everyone and sorry to have gotten off the subject somewhat on this thread. As for the next generation of players, I agree with the others that software is the main issue right now. Right now (don't laugh) things are good. There are more tit... | |
| where to look,explanation of tube amps, i know I haven't read it, but have been meaning to buy it. It's the "Tube Substitution Handbook", and you can get it for 23.95 at http://www.amusicdirect.comTom | |
| Why so much???? About a month ago, I was looking at my shelves of CDs for something to play. I pulled out "Empty Glass" by Pete Townshend, and as I was reveling in the uninhibited rage of "Rough Boys" I realized that I was listening to the first CD I ever bought.... | |
| What I want to see in the next gen of SACD players Hi, The sub is passive and has a dedicated amp. It has no high level input. I could probably run my pre-amp's pre-outs into the sub's amp and get it working. But, as I said before, I'd have to re-cable to listen to multi-channel utilizing the disc... |
