| What year did tube lose to SS I went to college in 1973 & SS was definitely outselling tubes back then. So I think it was between 1965 & 1970. My hearing is definitely becoming worse and I can hear things I couldn't with SS in my better daze at low loudness levels. | |
| Yaqin MC-100B or Cayin A-88T - first tube amp I hope another forum post is O.K. See reply by Jan Vigne on Ecoustics message board: http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/1/452675.html. He makes some real good points about tube amp specifications & reality. | |
| Audible Illusion L1 / M3A, which tubes ? Tubes that are quiet with very little microphonics. See: http:thetubestore.com/ | |
| Does speaker toe-in affect reflection points? See: http://www.realtraps.com/art_room-setup.htmScroll down to Figure 4. | |
| Retractable room treatment To what end? It's certainly a cost you'll never recoup if you sell your house. Also if you ever reposition your speakersÂ… Interesting idea but why not consider a special built room by Rives. | |
| Ear Protection Ooou! Ooou! Tell the morons in the cars with Ghetto Blaster bass speakers they will lose they're losing low-frequency hearing while listening to bass heavy music. | |
| Which tweak for new amp: PC or footers? Listen to amp for several months before considering tweaks. | |
| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? The ones where she is NOT backed by an orchestra. | |
| Office System -- Low Volume Speakers For low volume work I assume you don't need a lot of bass. Consider the less expensive full-range drivers from Omega loudspeakers. | |
| Isolation damping for furniture I've never had that particular vibration problem. What material are the doors made of & how are they attached to cabinet? Can you remove just the doors? | |
| Assessing room response Jusr remember, if you like the sound, it doesn't make any difference what other's think. | |
| Toslink Connection Flakey Sounds like a bad TOSLINK connector. Is it still under warranty from PS Audio. | |
| recommended 6922 tubes for a moderate price? Try the JAN-Phillips 6922. It seems to be a very good value.I bought mine from The Tube Store (http://thetubestore.com/janphilips6922.html). I assume it is available elsewhere, too.You might try your luck on eBay, also. | |
| How tall should speakers be? BlindjimIMO, it's driver integration. | |
| How tall should speakers be? Some speakers have a critcal vertical listening window. I owned a set of Spica TC-60s ten or so years ago and tweeter response was radically different if you were standing or sitting. The difference was even audible at about +/- 5 degrees. So, yea... |
