| differences between tube and solid state designs Actually, I think the old tubes sound old and crappy and most likely the "golden glow" people remember is bad reproduction - I have had very bad experiences with NOS even JAN - I won't buy them anymore; microphonic, poor lifespan, inconsistent out... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs I wish a convergence revolution would happen among speaker manufacturers the way it has with tubes and SS - where quality would go up, and value would go up *not* in direct relation to price. Not that there aren't bad $10,000 speakers. There are. ... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Well said Trelja. There's a reason the VW Beetle worked. Simplicity. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I have nearly broken down and bought a 57 alfa... what's wrong with me... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Almost sounds like SS... but doesn't. Plinius and Pass? Yuck. | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Yeah... House uses a top o' the line Sota. And the cart is like a Benz Micro Ruby or som eother snazzy wood-body - a Hugh Laurie touch I wonder... a vintage motorcycle guy as well, from what I hear. | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Do your vocal cords sit in a big square wood box? Are they 6 feet high and made out of eletrified sheets of polymer? Do your speakers posses a full string section? Does a french horn run on magnets? No? How exactly, is it tainted? | |
| Carey SLI 80 vs. Cayin A88T vs. Primaluna PL2? None, sorry - definitely read opposing points of view, but never had a comparison listen of any kind. | |
| Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu That is primarily why I own a Spacedeck. Plus I like Tom Fletcher more. | |
| Carey SLI 80 vs. Cayin A88T vs. Primaluna PL2? I would probably look for a Cary here on 'gon after you audition - there are plenty of them floating around, mostly people like them so much they think they can do better (by moving up the Cary chain or decide to try their single ended amp the SEI... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? It's funny I drive a Nissan Infiniti G20 w/the SRDET engine - sure enough, I'm in for a check up at the mechanic and I say hey, the breaks are squeaking and he said the same thing people say about SVX - did you change out to the Brembos yourself? | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Has anyone read the article in one of the hi-fi mags this month that asks: can audio ever really sound "real"? I haven't yet. It seems that the answer is probably that it can sound "true", but based on the fact that it is standing in for another c... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs I agree - mostly I think it's that tubes have become more able to deal with low sensitivity speakers because many of the better tube designers are incorporating their own transformer designs/windings, and using certain materials which were not as ... | |
| Carey SLI 80 vs. Cayin A88T vs. Primaluna PL2? Well, they're all nice, but do you have a source component and a pair of speakers in mind? It's all kind of relative; they all are quality amps. I would say the Cary is most overview gestalt of the three, the Cayin is the most cuddly muscially, an... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? So when did you change out the breaks on your svx? Great car, btw. |
