| Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible. Wow, this was a moronic post when I started it seven years ago and is even more moronic now. Give it a rest. | |
| Recommend An Electrician in Portland, Oregon Could someone recommend a good Cuban restaurant in Portland? I don't care for Pambiche and that new place on Hawthorne something de Cuba is not there either. Maybe I need to take a trip to Miami. | |
| volume pot install There is no such thing as a Dynaco PAT 3. There is a PAT 4, PAT 5, PAT 5 bifet, PAS 2, PAS 3, PAS 3X and PAM 1 for the Vincent Van Gogh crowd, but no PAT 3. Panor made PAS 4 or some such hokum as well. The answer to your question is dependent on t... | |
| Preamp recommendations for under $600.00 The TSGG is built with circuit boards and so is somewhat easier to assemble, IMHO. It also uses the more common tube, the 12AU7, which ofers more opportunities for tube rolling. For a newbie, working slowly and deliberately, I would think four to ... | |
| Which speaker tap to use? You are not risking any damage. Broadly speaking, most amps will produce the greatest amount of power into a matched load, 8 ohm tap to 8 ohm speaker, 16 ohm tap to 16 ohm speaker. But the amount of power loss into an unmatched load, such as the o... | |
| Sheffield Lab I have a stack of them as well, but haven't played any in years. Great sound but musically not to my taste at all and these days, I'm more interested in music than sound.Interestingly, I find that those that have music that I think that I will lik... | |
| Preamp recommendations for under $600.00 Instead of buying an old preamp, or someone else's problems, why not get really involved and purchase a simple kit? Bottlehead's new directly heated triode kit the Smash, or if you prefer a conventional looking preamp the Transcendent Sound Ground... | |
| The End Of Out-Of-Print Music Don't know if it is correct but I heard on the radio this weekend that 70% of the music recorded on records has never been released in another medium. Unfortunately a sizable amount of music that was originally recorded on analog tape was not prop... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear Lou, Ian Paisley was one of the titans of Canadian speaker design. They were somewhat ahead of us there what with the reseach facility at the NRC. He was with API which owned Mirage, Energy, Sound Dynamics and a few others. Great speakers, not wel... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear Lou, no I didn't say fatigueing, that was not it. It was just a lack of midrange coherance. I bought them new so it was many moons ago and I am at the age where I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning. I am not sure what electronics... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear Lou, I had a pair of Tyr 2s back in the day. I was younger, and more impressionable, then. Bought them based on J. Gordon's review. Amazing, and I don't say that lightly, bass. Tight, deep, just incredible. People would look for the subwoofer or w... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear Lou, the original Symdex speakers were designed by the great Kevin Voecks, who went on to design for Mirage, Snell, and is now with the Revel division of Harman Int. Speaking of rare stereo gear, Andy Rappaport was Voecks best man at his wedding a... | |
| Dynavector 20xH - Boring Presentation? The P2 is a great table, but there are any number of better choices. If you enjoy the pacey sound of the Regas then a P6 or P8 if it's in the budget, is a very large step up from the P2. The little Avid table is very nice as are the Michell turnta... | |
| Dynavector 20xH - Boring Presentation? IMHO, this is money poorly spent and you would be better off upgrading the Rega P2 than plowing more money into a Shelter or Koetsu Black.But to answer your question, a good friend of mine, who runs a Rega P5, upgraded to the 20XH from the 10X5 an... | |
