| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? Bernard Purdie was the named party.Casey33 (Threads | Answers)Yes, I couldn't recall if it was Bernard Purdy or Hal Blaine. | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: I'm going to try a couple of SP-004 under my Sonata III loudspeakers. What's the best technique for placing them? Seems that three people are likely necessary: two to lift, and one to place the stands.BTW, I'm not an ad-man. | |
| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? Perhaps it's an urban myth, but I recall reading that Ringo did not play on all the Beatle's recordings, and that some heavy hitting session drummers filled in on several occasions.Do any of you Beatle's aficionados know if this is true? | |
| What Platform for Atma Sphere MP1 and PSU I'm using Sanford ArtGum erasers. Three under each unit. About $.60/each. | |

| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Brass is the metal of music.Theaudiotweak (Threads | Answers)Maybe you could sell t-shirts! | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Which amps mentioned would you not recommend and why? I'm interested to learn the reasoning. | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, The impedance specs you post above are pretty favorable for a push-pull tube amp running on 4 ohm taps, IMO, since the peaks and dips are relatively flat.So, I think the recommendations above would be good possibilities...namely VAC and Music Refe... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 TRL Audio mod Because of their excellent reputation and experience with the Opus 21, I wouldn't have anyone other than GNSC mod the Opus if it was my money. | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Your VAC amps are considerably better than were mine, and they use 300B tubes, which have the characteristics you describe. Do you know the impedance specs of your speakers: lowest, highest and nominal? That'd be helpful for anyone reading this th... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, The OP's speakers have an 83dB sensitivity.The amp's power, or the size of it's transformer is not really the issue. It's the impedance curve of the speakers that matters.I owned 160wpc VAC amps, which I tried on my Silverline speakers which emplo... | |
| Can tubes ever be as quiet Solid State I have been told the solid state Heed Quasar phono is a great, musical component and a bargain. I'm going to check one out next week.I mention this because you said your focus was on a phono stage. Perhaps there's no need to change your tube preamp. | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Increasing power to 200 watts into 4 ohms versus 160 watts into 8 ohms still causes a volume imbalance in the 4 ohm frequencies (they'll have less volume than the higher impedance frequencies). The speakers will sound tipped up with lack of body, ... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Unless the speakers have a flat impedance curve no tube amp is going to do them justice for reasons mentioned above by Rlawry.If you want a refined and liquid solid state sound, consider Pass Labs XA-.5 series amps. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Devore are made in Brooklyn, NY. They're not British. Reviews state they "disappear" nicely, too.They're not budget priced, though. |
