| best all-round,full range at $2000 Precisely. The Gallo 3 Refs require the SA amplifier or a sub to reproduce what is commonly considered full range, 30Hz-20Khz. Therefore, IMO, the Ref 3 cannot be considered full range loudspeakers, nor can the Ref 3/SA combo be found for $2000, w... | |
| Speakers for large open room Your musical tastes, set-up and room appear to be ideal for some beautiful vintage Klipsch K-horns and SET tube amplification...Damn...Great sound at a reasonable price. You bastard! | |
| coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse Then you need to hear them both, because they're both well regarded, yet they sound differently. Only you can decide which you will prefer.Good luck. | |
| coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse I would say it depends on the amplifier you will use with them. They are both excellent. | |
| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions Priced range I'm referring to is the new price of a Prologue 2 to a new Cronus...roughly $1200-$1800. That's generally considered the same price range.Frankly, I don't believe where a product is made makes a bit of difference provided the product ... | |
| Unison Unico SE noise Try using a cheater plug on your amp's power cord. | |
| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions To be more direct if I was (and I guess I am) trying to decide between the Stingray the Cronus or the Prologue 2, whats the best pick?Zamdrang The $64,000 question.I have noticed more happy Prologue 2 owners than just about any other owners of tub... | |
| Unison Unico SE noise That doesn't sound like a tube issue to me. Have you tried unplugging all you sources, and re-connecting them one at a time to see if a source might be the cause? I'd try that, but connect only one source, then disconnect it and connect the next s... | |
| What should be the first component when upgrading? Clearly, there is no right answer. On this we all agree.Don't we?:) | |
| Where does your user name come from? Yikes. | |
| Tube rolling suggestions for Unison Unico Lousyreeds1, did you ever settle on a 12AU7 tube that you liked?I recently discovered new production Tungsram 12AU7, and I think they're excellent. They compete with NOS Mullard 12AU7, IMO (not quite as good as the Mullard...but darned close). | |
| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions I have recently read good things about the Unison Unico. Enough good things to put it near the top of a "check-it-out" list. I particularly like that it uses 12AU7 tubes rather than 6922 tubes.Personally, the most frustrating thing about putting t... | |
| Unison Unico SE noise Sounds like a bad tube to me, too, especially if the hum is in one channel only. It might just be a tube that needs to be reseated in the socket.Whatever you do, use a step by step method. Consider swapping tubes from left to right, one pair at a ... | |
| What should be the first component when upgrading? Reverse the situation and put a world class front-end with a world class middle components, and crap speakers and I'd bet you could listen and be amazed for a whole lot longer than compromising the source...This is an endless debate, repeated over... | |
