Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
blindjim,From experience I would like to give you another horn speaker option and that is the Bob Crites Cornscala.These are available as a kit or fully built for about 2k.I helped a friend put a set together about 8 yrs ago and 2yrs ago I helped ...

vitop,Look into the Spin clean record washer,Very easy and quite effective but I did like a different cleaning solution and I used the disc doctors miracle record cleaner.The spin clean comes with drying towels but I wasn't to crazy about using th...

teajay,Could you estimate a 3db higher efficiency with the Ulf's vs the DI's or a actual volume knob difference between the 2 at the same perceived listening level with music you know well.Kenny.

Corelli,That was my guess the Hp but I did'nt post quick enough.Kenny.

porscheracer,The deal with Mark at Reno hifi would be a good one taking in consideration the trial period and 20% off.It would be a demo unit and probably have some time on it.These amps really need about 500 hrs to show you their true sound.With ...

teajay,I totally agree with you that the LTA gear and the DI's are very disruptive products and from what you are telling us about the sound you are getting with the Ulfs with less than 250 hrs on them,I would be safe to say they are going to be a...

ky1mag,I wouldn't worry about one bit if I were you,You gave them a honest shot and found them to be not your cup of Tea,so to speak.I recall myself a few years back just hating one of the most popular phono cartridges that everyone else just love...

porscheracer,I had the Threshold 400a,S200 series 2 and later on the S300 series 2.But that was in mid 80's to the mid 90's and I moved to pass labs then and now use First watts for SS.You probably could find a S200 series 2 for under 2k that woul...

backsigns,I believe that the peerless Tympani dome tweeters may be only used on the Double Impact SE version with Scanspeak mids and possibly the woofers also.Kenny.

pawsman,Your tweeters from your posted pic look like the,Sb acousticsĀ SB26STCN-C000-4The sensitivity would match up perfectly from the specs.But this tweeter has a higher resonance frequency than the Sb acoustics ring domeĀ SB29RDNC-C000-4 that is ...

porscheracer,I had a pioneer m22 in the mid 80's and I remember it being pretty good but once I got my first Threshold amp I sold the m22 like a hot potato.The M22 was made from 76 to 80,So they are getting quite old and would need some serious wo...

teajay,Very nice that you keep us updated on the sound you are getting with those new big boys."My hunch is that the Ulf's have an even lower noise floor then the DI's, so spacial cues are more easily heard, hence more accurate space reproduction ...

porscheracer,Here is repeat of a much earlier post to address your question,They did sound great right out of the shipping boxes,but I haven't owned a speaker yet that I did'nt mod and get better sound.Even though I did buy a upgraded pair of Di's...

Yes the monitors would be about 91db with 1 watt at 1 M.Now I'm getting very confused with all these different tweeters that have been used in the Monitors.Kenny.
