| Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear PHD, the reason I ask is because many folks comment about certain SS amps having a "tubish" sound, but not all tube amps sound the same, i.e. triode and ultralinear amps sound differently. So, it's not enough to describe a SS amp as "tubish" unles... | |
| Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear Phd, please define "tubish" | |
| Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear Phd, I liked it, but I liked my VAC Phi 110/110 tube amp better. It was a tough call. In the end, acoustic music on the VAC sounded more real...and for me, that's the test. | |
| Speakers slipping on speaker stands If you don't mind working to remove the Blu-tack from the bottom of your speakers and the top of the stands when you decide you want to re-arrange things, then I agree with the Blu-tack or Quake Hold (museum wax) method. If you want something that... | |
| Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear The best way to reduce the risk of losing money on the sale of a modded amp is to buy it used. That way, it has already have the depreciation hit. It takes a little patience while you're waiting for that modified amp to show in the listings, but i... | |
| Speakers slipping on speaker stands Grip It shelf liner would work great for this. This is a link to an E-Bay auction so you have an idea of what it is, but you can find it at many grocery stores, Target, Walmart, etc., and it comes in several colors. It just lies on the flat surfac... | |
| Esoteric DV-50, Marantz SA-11 or Arc CD3 MKII??? The APL Denon 3910 will give you the air and space you require, and throws a pretty good 3D illusion. The APL Philips SACD1000 throws an even better 3D illusion IMO. I have owned both. You might be very happy with the APL SACD1000. It offers much ... | |
| Best Tube SACD Players Your preference in tonal quality is a primary factor when deciding which is "best" (no player is best for everyone). Modwright players are exceptional and have a somewhat romantic sound compared to APL and Exemplar modded players I've heard. I hav... | |
| Good Quality Led Zepplin CD's do they even exist? Pehare hit it on the head...How the West Was Won. | |
| looking for tube recommedations for Cary SLI-80 Call Andy at Vintage Tube Service. He'll be an enormous help. | |
| Power cords for Modwright 999es Dolfan, absolutely no offense taken, and I apologize if my response came across as such. Clearly you prefer the copper cable. I was simply making the point that the effect of different power cords is system and user dependent. You listened to both... | |
| Power cords for Modwright 999es It's system dependent. How else would you explain Dolfan's experience when the man who does the mods recommends one thing, and Dolfan experiences better results with another? Certainly Dan is recommending the RAL silver umbilical because he believ... | |
| Power cords for Modwright 999es Dan Wright recommends the Revelation Audio Labs umbilical for the Modwright Sony 999ES. I'd start there, and then add a Revelation Audio Labs Precept II mains cable. | |
| Review: TAD (Tube Audio Design) TAD 1000 mono blocks Thanks for posting. It takes some effort and willingness to "put it out there". It's appreciated. | |
| What Gives? NuForce Reference 8 100wpc Mono's I heard an early 70wpc/21dB gain version of the Reference 8...current production models are 100wpc/26dB. They are clear, detailed, and throw a wide soundstage. I think they would appeal more to SS amp users than tube amp users. |
