| 6DJ8/ECC-88 Equivalents? Joe's Tube Lore...http://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/d.pl?audio/faq/joes-tubes.html | |
| Dish Network BLOCKS OUT Viacom channels??? All the channels are back as of this morning. That was quick! | |
| Dish Network BLOCKS OUT Viacom channels??? Yeah, we'll get a $1 credit (I don't have the locals), but somewhere I heard that Viacom was getting $4 or $5 per subscriber for the channels from Dish. Where's the rest of the $3 or $4?? | |
| VTL 5.5 or Audible Illusions L2 linestage I haven't heard the VTL 5.5, but I love my AI L2.I think that either of these preamps can be very remarkable, but you need to carefully choose the right tubes that will compliment your system and sound right to your ears. In VTL's case it's 6 tube... | |
| A review of the Audible Illusions L-2 As usual Bigtee, a pleasure reading your review! I should be getting my L2 back any time now from the factory after updating to current production models. | |
| Sony SCD-1 or BAT VK-D5 / D5SE Since you already have BAT products, your system synergy will benefit greatly by incorporating a BAT CD player and using balanced interconnects between all the pieces. I prefer the non-SE version, the D5, with Amperex 7308 tubes. Superb redbook pe... | |
| Another 6550 vs. KT88, 90, et. al.? I got my Hurricanes last summer/fall. My original Valve Art KT88s had maybe 200 to 300 hours on them, so much more time is left on them. A couple of the VA blew, and I replaced them with the Electro Harmonix, and before you know it, both amps beca... | |
| Another 6550 vs. KT88, 90, et. al.? I changed the Valve Art KT88s in my 'Canes to the EH KT88s. A definate improvement in detail and frequency extremes. I haven't heard the 6550s in the amps, but I feel that I'm not missing anything at all with the EH KT88s. They have all the bass I... | |
| I have a confession to make This is how I do it when I don't have any money for upgrades-Thank goodness for high limit credit cards!! Buy now pay later!! | |
| Do tube CD players and tube pre-amps play nice? I've used my BAT CD Player that has six 7308 tubes in it with the 21A that I used to own, going into a pair of ASL Hurricanes. Worked out wonderfully! | |
| SA-XR25 or SA-XR45 ? Don't forget that the XR45 has a beefier, better power supply than the 25. I opted for the 45, and haven't looked back. Worth the xtra $$ as Plato says. | |
| Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES Best Buy - $9.99 this week. | |
| Keb' Mo' -- tell me more I fully agree with all the above assessments....all great albums except "Big Wide Grin", which was coined as an album for the kiddies.I have his new one on order, but listening to the clips, it sounds like he's back to true form. Saw him in Ravini... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1; What Amps are People Using? I would say get VR-2s for the front, and eliminate the need for a subwoofer, a LCR15 Center, and VR-1s or LCR15s for the back. You should be pretty happy with this setup. | |
| Is There Such A Thing... Looking at my Monsoons....the cable is integrated with the speaker, so it would be pretty hard to seperate, if not impossible. With the limitations of these speakers and computer sound in general, I sure wouldn't sweat it, and use the money for so... |
