| High Caliber DIY Speakers Butsy, and others, thanks. If I go this route, and given the time and care I'd put into the cabinets, these would be lifetime keepers, in one application or another! :-) | |
| 6922 vs. 6DJ8 vs,7308 I would caution against the over reliance on any "pecking-order" with respect to "good-better-best" with these tubes. Aside from synergy with particular components, there is variability between brands and even between types within brands. For inst... | |
| Why does this circa '75 receiver sound so good? Fatparrot - I recall that receiver, too. There is one of these on E-Bay right now for a current bid of 20 clams! | |
| High Caliber DIY Speakers Thanks, Clueless. I have seen the Orion mentioned elsewhere and from private e-mails. Mr. Linkwitz lives within an hour drive from me, so that would be a plus.I have a bit of trepidation with respect to the "open baffle" design. Unfounded concerns... | |
| Why does this circa '75 receiver sound so good? Albert, you likely also sold the Yamaha CR-620 (35 w/ch). I bought one new in 1978, for somehere around $325. It was, and still is, a workhorse. Used it in a two-channel system for some time, then used it in a modest HT system for five years. Now,... | |
| Opinions on Pure Note cables I just received two pair of Pure Note Cables last Tuesday. So far, they have greatly exceeded expectations and have trounced three other sets of IC's I've had previously and one set of quite expensive cables that another member let me audition.Whi... | |
| Song intros that really grab you? ? "When the Levee Breaks" has always been a favorite. | |
| Have anyone pics and tech-data for a SU-1 step-up? Once again we are blessed with the bombast and utterly laughable displays of psuedo audio knowledge which is Romy. After his welcome has been fully exhausted on the Audio Asylum board, he now tries to establish his parasitic practices here on Audi... | |
| preamp to mate with McCormack DNA 1 20-50 hours. A mere nanosecond in relation to audiophile time! :-)Eagle, please know that I wasn't trying to "one-up" the Placette, on a cost basis. I've heard it is very good, also. Actually, the Bent CAN be had a bit cheaper in kit form, but bec... | |
| preamp to mate with McCormack DNA 1 Kora is sold. And with a most happy owner, I might add. You've had experience with long-trannie break-in, Marakanetz, or am I misunderstanding your post? Thanks. | |
| preamp to mate with McCormack DNA 1 Oh, as far as price goes, my transformer-based Bent passive will have three WBT RCA inputs, 2 XLR inputs, one WBT RCA output, one XLR output, adjustable grounding positions, and remote volume control. Price $1350, delivered. I'd like to do a heads... | |
| preamp to mate with McCormack DNA 1 I used a Kora Eclipse tube hybrid preamp with my DNA-225 (same 100Kohm input as the 1.0) and it was a very nice pairing, indeed. The matching, from an impedance standpoint, would not have seemed logical but the sound was great. As such, I would no... | |
| New batch of Albert Porter's cryo treated Hubbells Guys, take it from someone who ordered the first time around. Don't order one! Order two, or more. | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Nothing..but it makes as much sense as trying to determine why there are a number of Rowland pieces currently for sale. That said, I apologize to LbSilver for contributing to the hijacking of his/her thread. | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? One thing that I have learned over the years dovetails with the lyrics of Jim Croce (how often can you trot out that reference?). :-) You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger, ... |
