| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems @artemus_5 consider folks who never previously built anything assembled all but a few of the 300,000 ST70s, the fact that most of them that came up on the used market sported their original (5AR4 and all) tubes, and the majority of that number sti... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. @erik_squires, "If we could only have 1 driver, it would have to be a midrange."Absolutely. Several times, we began projects by simply running a midrange driver; often to just play around with that. You'd wouldn't believe how many listeners woul... | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems @artemus_5, thank you for clarifying.That's certainly disappointing news. Given Genalex is the premium Russian tube, even more so. Over time, I've gravitated away from the majority of new production European tubes, both for sonic and reliability... | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems It's more difficult to quantify old tubes than most people think. Simply paying more for supposedly higher quality is often a roll of the dice.Personally, going against the opinion of most here, I prefer lower cost older tubes on ebay, and skip t... | |
| RIP Arnie Nudell Another lion of the industry. My good friend, Bill Legall, has had many of the Infinity IRS models in his home, and we were fortunate enough to enjoy them.Rest in peace... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. Bud Fried, "85% of the music lies in the midrange." | |
| Mark Levinson 27.5 versus modern day amps @inna, yes, I had the Pass Class A amplifier. And, supposedly, the best sounding of the lineup | |
| Mark Levinson 27.5 versus modern day amps I'm glad I finally saw a thread where someone mentions the Pass Labs amp in the way you two have.A long-time and consistent sacred cow. Had one once. Tried to juggle things around it. Ultimately could not for the life of me understand where all... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I'm a fan of horns, though I currently don't run a pair.I have some close friends who REALLY dislike horns, and instead of trying to convince or talk over them, I prefer to listen and understand their complaints. Beyond the typical complaints abo... | |
| New York HiFi Show: Tubes and Turntables @willemj, as you can see, folks would appreciate you reposting. Of course, who saves these things? And you may feel it more trouble than anything else.I can reiterate, he said NOTHING warranting moderation or removal of the post. Mostly talked ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @inna, the best person to offer opinion here would be my very close friend, The Doctor (Mechans), as he’s owned the DA60 and JMlabs loudspeakers at the same time, and brings an incredible wealth of knowledge.Personally, I feel the larger (4+ outpu... | |
| New York HiFi Show: Tubes and Turntables @willemj, I happened to see it prior to removal. Agreed with some of it, disagreed with some of it. But felt it added greatly to the discussion here, and feeling baffled as to what motivated removal. Stifling good, honest opinion that does not co... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @daveyf, I ran the Mullard 12AX7 for a while, and felt happy enough. They took my DA60 up a few steps from the original Ei, and offer a warm, rich sound. Hard to believe, but the dirt cheap Shuguang triple mica 12AX7B aka Silver Dragon handily ecl... | |
| New York HiFi Show: Tubes and Turntables @asvjerry, thank you for your insight.Ohm did have a room at the show. They earned my WORST OF SHOW award going away | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? As an owner of Jadis amplifiers, I also obviously feel they offer beautiful, glorious sound.In addition to your power cord experience, I've found they show as much sensitivity to tube rolling as any amplifiers I've come across. It amazes me how f... |
