| Which 6SN7's for Rogue 99 Pre Sugarbrie mentioned the Sylvania 6SN7Ws: The two tall versions sound identical and are absolutely astounding in their musicality, sound stage and imaging. The shorter ones might singe your ear-hairs with their highs(unless your system is laid back... | |
| Difference between today and yesterday. Detlof- Was that the IONOFANE Plasma Tweeter? The technology on that piece goes back all the way to 1951!! Of course- improvements have been made since then. How I wish my present listening room could justify some large (new technology)stats like ... | |
| Difference between today and yesterday. Eldarford- How many current violin manufactures spend two to three years on one instrument, or use wood from the Little Ice Age (Maunder Minimum ~1645-1750), or perhaps Northern Croatia(another theory) that possess the density that give Stratavari... | |
| dumb sub question I forgot: You mentioned 40hz as your goal. You'd be amazed at how much ambiance info is in that next octave(20 to 40hz). If you were able to find a used Hafler TransNova 9505, and built a pair of 10" TLs: You'd be in bottom end heaven. I'm talkin ... | |
| dumb sub question No reason at all not to. Just keep the drivers the same distance from your listening position as the mains to maintain time coherency. Here's a webpage that has info on Roy Allison's, "Allison Effect" papers, and some programs to aid in the proper... | |
| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently Gilmore Audio Model 2 | |

| Is there a very nice SS amp around 1K? Blindjim- Hafler Corp was purchased by Rockford Group some years back. They do still support the products that they've built(like the 9505), but- not the earlier stuff. Excellent service and warranty on repairs. | |
| tweeters & mids - what is their life span? Another thought: Have you adjusted the levels of the left/right fronts relative to the center channel on your AV-8? Perhaps turning them up a bit when in multi-mode will balance them better against the Gallo. | |
| Highest component/cable ratio? Hey John- I've often felt the same way: If I could ONLY turn back the clock! If I had only been born without an innate love for live music! If I only had not become a sound tech, perhaps I could be happy with Cryin'Ear Hi-Fi equipment and would ha... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Tbg- That's funny: I just got in here to recommend he try to find a pair of Fulton's Golds!!! Everyone used to laugh at him, until he hooked them up. It was fun to watch the jaws drop back then!!! He started the entire high-end cable industry with... | |
| Is the best power cord no power cord at all? I forgot to mention: Most gear(those with outboard power supplies excepted) will have an AC power transformer within the chassis which will generate RF and/or vibrations/resonances as well. By utilizing pure DC: this potential interference source ... | |
| Is the best power cord no power cord at all? Every noise source connected to the powergrid(from the generator to you house) contributes interference to whatever you plug into your wall socket. When running on battery power, these noise sources are eliminated, as well as the RF that an unshie... | |
| Triode versus Ultralinear/Pentode See if you can find one of these for sale: (http://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/1200cary/) You won't do much tube tasting as far as the output tube(T-1610) 'cause there's only one company that makes them(KR). Then again there's the price of a... |
