| Legacy Speakers?? About a year or so ago I had a chance to use for an extended period, a Ayon Triton with the Tyler Acoustics Woodmeres I am using. I was a wonderful match. very musical!If I ever go back to tubes, (not likely because of the Emitter), I would go wit... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? I have a Wadia 861 thats been on 24/7 for well over 5 years.Not one problem.Wadia recommends that it stay powered up for several reasons.As they put it..."The unit will remain thermally stable for less stress and wear on internal circuitry and for... | |
| Pre Amp with top class phono stage? McIntosh C2300 has a very nice sounding MM and MC phono stage.Very flexible on-the-fly set-up and adjustability for different cartridges all by remote. | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Pavane 845-T tube? Read this thread and you should get some answers.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1286194112&read&keyw&zz845 | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? I Use a McIntosh MR-71 tube FM tuner that dates from 1968...Its been worked on a couple of times and sounds very nice.They don't make them like this ..anymore. | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Friedrich Schaefer of ASR Emitter fame...Whether or not you think his products are overhyped...The results speak for themselves to those privledged to have owned and used them. | |
| Amps that are "forward" Seems to me, (being one of those "older" audiophiles) that all you might need to do is aquire a decent analog frequency equalizer, patch it in somehow and do some careful adjustments. (I actually remember way back when it was OK to use tone contro... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Based on MSRP...about 80K(not including all the tweaks,etc.)Frankly i've never equated the price of a piece with its sound quality. I go with what sounds good in my room and for my tastes. If it happens to be expensive,(one mans expensive..is anot... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Sophia Electric has the Full Music 845 MkIII available at up to twice the price of the Psvane 845T (845T is sold out until Dec.,btw.)Will they sound twice as good?Your getting in to NOS prices now. Might as well try for some RCA's,imo.http://www.s... | |
| what amp will match well with Tyler acoustics Well,Im using,with great sucess,an Art Audio Carissa Signature SET making 16 wpc with my Woodmeres.I've also used a 350 wpc McIntosh MC402.Now I dont suggest a flea powered SET, but what that tells me is that just about any well made amp (within r... | |
| Tell the truth How often do you clean your gear? I'm no obsessive-compulsive when it come to dust but don't like to see it,so I go over the system with a Swiffer 360 duster about once a week. Smudges,etc..get wiped off with a micro-fiber cloth immediately,if i see them. | |
| what is honey colored? examples? I'd go back a little farther and say more like vintage Fisher or Marantz tube gear.Slightly rolled off frequency extremes with a mid-range bump. Very listenable. | |
| Should I end my search These cables sound like they are working well in your system. If your happy with the perceived musical improvements, I think you should give these an extended listen and enjoy them for a while before you start thinking there "might" be something b... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? This is good news,Dave. Since you've been using the 845W, your comments carry much more weight.Give them 25-50hrs of work andI think you'll be even more impressed with them.Look forward to further observations from you. | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Ed...My hope is you get some (845T) and do a proper comparision and publish a detailed write up as you have for the "B" and the "M".I for one would be interested to read what you find out. |
