| For a quick good time, blankets... I realize that many people attempt to listen to audio systems while living in rugless or carpetless environments devoid of furnishings and surrounded with reflective surfaces like some sort of insane Bauhaus nightmare of sonic reflections, rendere... | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos Here's too much information: bdp24…You’re correct sir, exactly why I said "make a KT150 based BASS amp?" After around 5 decades of pro guitar playing, I currently mostly use a rare Reverend Goblin 5/15 watt 6V6 push pull all tube combo amp with a ... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... I have a glass coffee table right in front of my listening sweet spot…I put a couple of throw pillows on top (covering 90% of the thing, and 100% of the area that would reflect anything into my ear balls), problem solved. And, I can then put my fe... | |
| speaker shopping Zephyr…it's based on what I can see and hear. I have years of experience that has taught me that everyone should like what I like, and do what I do. That fact that nobody actually does this is mysterious. | |
| Adcom GFA-5802 Stereo Power Amplifier to drive Andra speakers!Is it a good choice I still have a very inexpensive (bought used anyway) Adcom 5300 (!) that I use for extra (window placed for deck duty) speakers that sounds great. I've had a bunch of Adcom stuff over the years including preamps and a few other amps and all of the... | |
| speaker shopping It seems I'm the only one here who truly CARES about people, so to the OP specifically, I have to say there are no speakers currently made that will work in the room described so, unfortunately, you’re out of luck. Otherwise, when you move into a ... | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos Never trust musicians who know about tubes…trust me…I've been a pro musician for around 5 decades and I'm utterly untrustworthy, a fact you can trust. Also, why doesn't a musician amp company (like Mesa) make a KT150 based bass amp? WHY NOT? What ... | |
| Affordable Turntable Options Typo..I meant "it's A great sounding table." Also, I can recommend a Sumiko Pearl cartridge as that's what a nearby Turntable Expert (works at a local high end gear joint) sold me a few years ago after I was whining about the shrill tone I was hea... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Try this. Leave the listening room and have somebody swap your Special Fuses out (or not) and replace them with un-special fuses like something from Littelfuse or maybe Bob's Discount Fuse House…come back and listen to your rig…do this again a few... | |
| 12au7 or 12ax7 The sockets came with my relatively inexpensive Jolida 502p so maybe they’re NOT gold plated…but if they are I now wonder if I should replace them…hmmm….soldering is what the young girl wants…also I have to wonder what "many tube changes" means as... | |
| speaker shopping Bassdude…are you a Wavetouch Audio dealer? | |
| 12au7 or 12ax7 Current version Gold Lion 12AX7s are great tubes, and after trying various new and NOS options in my amp I'm now sticking with 'em. Note that the driver tubes in my amp are 12AT7s and I found that NOS Mullards not only sound great but "flash" when... | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos I don't care if the blue glass JJs sound good or not, but NOW I just want a set of them because they look so cool (I think Jedinite used those when he was using the same amp I have and liked them)…I've used JJs in guitar amps and they're a great t... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Conversely, what are the largest speakers with little to no bass? Inquiring minds… | |
| Jolida Reliability Weird…I talked to the Jolida guys (including Mike Allen, the founder) at length before (and during…they gave me a great deal on my "factory upgrade") buying my amp a few years ago and they were patient and informative…no attitude at all. Maybe thi... |
