| wattage difference between SS and Tube Tube 50W "screams" more pleasant than SS 50W. On the lower volume levels they will sound absolutely the same in terms of loudness. The low (10x less than transistor's) output resistance of the tube allowes to draw the maximum current onto the spea... | |
| I'm still working to love digital, are you? Well to avoid such "digital stunt-racing" I've got some analogue and somehow manage to be less active in digital terms -- useless!!! | |
| Is there an end.......ever? Tim, try to manage your music and keep only valuable ones. Sell the ones you haven't listen or not listening anymore.Among 1000 CDs I'm sure you'll find such that you won't need anymore if you come and think logically on that issue.I roll-over eve... | |
| Music to die to How can you die to a pop music? I'm joking, but for real if you can get Jeff Berlin "Pump It" you'll know that there is part of truth in that joke. I also recommend Don "Sugar Cane" Harris "Got the Blues". He's got a blend of Jimi Hendrix and Orne... | |
| Is it worth it? BE CAREFUL! If you don't know their authentity than don't buy and spend more to buy real. | |
| Why buy older digital gear? ...and because some brands still do old tech producing finest CD players such as BAT, Burmester, Cary. | |
| Cheap Spades what kind of binding posts you have? i use no connectors(spades or bannanas) at all threading through just bare wires with some solder on them to prevent oxiding. | |
| New Analog system. where to start? "...easily smokes" since it has no limit on flexibility to change things arround including tonearms. My theorem states than there is no better Rega deck than Basis. | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Higher end Regas such as Rega 9 and Rega 25 can easily "factored out" and changed for better table with cheaper RB300 arm giving much better result.The above suggestion for HW19 is reasonable. I will add Basis 1400 with Basis RB300 arm. That combo... | |
| New Analog system. where to start? What is your current digital rig? I can give you an idea what you should aim for in terms of analogue. Buying a cheap TT/arm/cartridge/phono might dissapoint you too quickly. | |
| What's your tube pre doing? Very simple: AE3 is using minimalistic circuit with very small gain and considered to be very transparent with minimal colourations of sound.You should also try no-preamp(meaning passive preamp). I realized that I would have to spend at least $200... | |
| I would use the bold letters... Kurt, "Austin Lounge Lizards" and "Lounge Lizards" are two completely different bands. Do the research on LL's albums: "No Pain For Cakes", "Lounge Lizards"(S/T), "Live in Tokyo", "Live From The Drunken Boat"... It's mostly know to the New York "u... | |
| What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier? Mr Clueless, Your philosophy makes lots of sence. Especially in SET case, it's possible to get two SET amps or two pairs of monoblocks instead of buying one expencive and achieve higher results in horizongal bi-amping if such thing is possible. | |
| The best oil to use to lube a turntables spindle . I believe that in this situation there should be nothing done or just simply letting know that with your own TT you "intercourse" the way you want it and don't complain if anything goes wrong to the seller. Even authorised dealers will most-likely... | |
| Concord Jazz I believe that that is the case where red-book CDs of Concord Jazz well compete with some of HDCDs. My favorite is John Patitucci's "One More Angel". |
