| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? What if CD came before LP, and the automobile before the horse drawn carriage, Baby Doc Duvalier before Papa Doc, and what if trolls came before the Internet was invented? The mind boggles. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Rich has always preferred Harbeth. His brother, Bill Timbre, prefers Spendor. There’s no accounting for familial taste. | |
| Best practices for listing/selling speakers? I see $3K to $5K speakers listed on my local Craigslist is it too declasse? | |
| FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them? https://www.amazon.com/OUTDOOR-ANTENNA-FOUR-ELEMENT-DIRECTIONAL/dp/B00NRHAV2K | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) Interesting, PRAT never mentioned in your description. As an SOTA owner I concur. | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) Congrats and enjoy! Listening to Dex on my SOTA right now. | |
| Reasonably Priced 6CA7 NOS (or even good used old stock) Tubes Available Anywhere? 7581 is in the 6L6/KT66 family so it is not electrically similar to the EL34/KT77/6CA7 family of tubes. Which is not to say that you won’t prefer the sound. | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! You might want to go at this a completely different way and change your interconnects to something warmer, perhaps Cardas or Transparent, though there are many options. | |
| Reasonably Priced 6CA7 NOS (or even good used old stock) Tubes Available Anywhere? The Shuguang EL34 is quite nice, and very cheap and should be a direct sub for 6CA7. https://www.ebay.com/p/Four-Quad-Current-Matched-Shuguang-Chinese-El34-Vacuum-Tubes-El-34/516728638?...However, if you must have a 6CA7 due to a preference for be... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) Take my opinion with a grain of salt, as it is just that. Yes, subjectively the P3, P3-24, RP3 and RP6 were all pacier than the VPI and SOTA tables, that I have heard, and owned. And I won’t try to assign a reason as some feel the Rega turntables ... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? 16 years later and 8-Tracks still rule! If you buy something that’s already obsolete, it can never become obsolete again. I still love my modded 8-Track.Whatever format you are currently listening to will, one day, be obsolete. So I recon I’m alre... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) Oh, the SOTA has a nice solidity to the sound with good body and saturation. It’s more like an idler in that sense, only quieter and more serene, with less punch. My LP12s have better PRAT, as did the Regas that I’ve owned in the past. The SOTA is... | |
| Paul is Done Much preferable to, “Paul is dead.” | |
| My experience after lost of 20k$ Hey, your 20K is not lost. It’s just backed up to the cloud. | |
| Atma Sphere deserves praise I fail to understand the logic of the OP. Sonically, the old gear doesn’t sound any worse because the manufacturer came out with new gear. Very often, a new model does not monetarily change the price of an older model on the secondary market, as -... |
