| What 2a3's Sound Best In Your Amp and Why? It depends on if your amp is any good or not.If you can't afford the single plated NOS RCA 2A3s, the NOS kenrad smoked tube 2A3s pretty good sounding for the money.The Sovtek is okay. | |
| Bob Crump passes away over holiday. Great guy indeed. I had exchanged quite a few emails with Bob. He always had a great sense of humor. He always remind me to pay more attention to my family rather than hobby. His original idea got me into thinking and design my own cables.His cabl... | |
| Dynaudio 1.3SE v. Silverline SR17 You can get a Kia sportage for $15,000 vs MB ML320 for $45000. Do you think there is a $30,000 difference? : ) | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Conrad Johnson Premier 11A Get a MC step up device. Because of my low sensitivity amp,I had similar issue with SP-11 MKII with VDH MC cartridge ( 0.5mv )Are you using dual mono mode on the MC240? The gain is much higher than stereo mode. | |
| All Tube vs. Hybrid Preamplifier Here is my view regardless of hybrid or all tube.single gain stage: Pure, more open sound. Less dynamic, roll off top and bottom end.multiple gain stage: wider bandwidth, dynamic. More complex.A good design of multiple gain stage can improve on no... | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Conrad Johnson Premier 11A I think the MC275 is over-kill. Stick with MC240. Too much power is more grain and less involving sound. | |
| indra users/fans--- rgwrjs, your rigs doesn't require high out cables.thiner cables will genereally sound better for high efficiency system. The indra will sound more refine in this case. However, for the low efficiency system, it will tend to sound dry and thin and ... | |
| indra users/fans--- Stanhifi, I do agree the Stealth cable do offer good performance. However, it doesn't mean that it is the best combo when used togather in both from source to preamp and preamp to amp. It is funny how few of the Indra owner are expremely protectiv... | |
| indra users/fans--- Yeah I mp3 will be your system since it has gold plated contactsLOL | |
| indra users/fans--- "If you have a low resolving system, a lot of cheap cables will sound good." Exactly. That's why Stealth cable will do the job for most of the system because they're cheap to make."overrated and overpriced." so as Stealth and all the other cables ... | |
| indra users/fans--- Aside from NBS call your NBS cable "fake" when you try to resell it yourself, it is pretty good.I've own over 50 cables and audition over 100s including every Stealth cable. They are just not as full, dynamic between preamp and amp. | |
| indra users/fans--- The NBS would be even better between the preamp and amp | |
| Does anyone like vintage speakers? Aside from the popular Altec, tannoy and JBL.Love the vintage Jensens from the 50s and 60s.Many also love the EV coaxial speakers from that era. | |
| Best phono-pre for mc-systems below $ 1.500,00 ? Only auditioned Lehman Black Cube SE on my setup. Only 3 words can describe it versus the tube gears I have:Bright, harsh, and thin.I owned Marantz 7, SP-11, SA-5000, SA-2, RM-5 and all are better than the Cube in both MM and MC.I still yet to fin... | |
| Reference 3A De Capo or Rogers LS3/5 ? Before you jump onto Reference 3A De Capo, you need to understand your room acoustics first.This particular speaker is rear ported, which means that placement is very important. How far to the wall is critical to the sound.Rogers is direct firing ... |
