| Is Audioquest clean and fast? I use King Cobras from my phono pre to the preamp, and they seem to get the electrons there in fine shape producing what appears to be a clear and balanced tone. I also have Diamondback XLRs here and there, Type 8 speaker cables, etc., and I think... | |
| Tube amp bias question or not? The blue glow is back (I have read about it someplace)...noticed it last night, so I assume it merely went on vacation for a while. | |
| tube vs SS preamp I've had an output tube fail in a guitar amp (around 1967) with zero damage, and have also had a SS amp destroy a pile of speakers in a large keyboard rig because the preamp was turned off before the amp (back when we used too much stuff on stage)... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear But the plywood...it's got SPECIAL plywood! | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear I put a lot of thought into my post and what thanks do I get? I just try to help...*sigh*... | |
| tube vs SS preamp I have the same Jolida amp. Love it. I feel that the cleanest preamp you can buy of any type is the way to go...I use a balanced dual mono Kavent (re-badged Vincent) because I like having XLRs out to the amp and very quiet sources, but that's just... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear If you actually read my post you can see exactly what my point is...that regardless of whether or not these speakers are well designed and sound fabulous, some around here might resent the preachy nonsense regarding patents (really? exactly what A... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear Still a bit of weirdness in even the last post...can't be trusted...strange...who says "kind gentlemen?"...hmmm... | |
| Tube amp bias question or not? The "blue glow" in my veteran 120s is gone...is this finally a sign of impending tube death? They still sound fine...hmm... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear Yeah...there's some shifty biz in this thread, and it should be nixed pronto. I've noted previously that the "yoon tone" baloney on the Wavetouch Audio site is one of the purest piles of sonic psuedo science crap I've yet to see anywhere...and I'v... | |
| Tube amp bias question or not? Jolida gives you 50mv of headroom anyway, and a dozen or so mv drift can be fairly normal. | |
| KEF LS50 vs. Monitor Audio Silver2 Add a little sub to the KEFs if you think they need more juice. | |
| Tube amp bias question or not? The KT120s are larger so they have more physical mass (this isn't important really, but I like it), and they were so glowingly reviewed I had to try them. I doubt they add much, if any, output power (any amp has other factors determining output li... | |
| Tube amp bias question or not? My KT120s have been in use for at least 3000 hours and are still going strong (over 2 years). | |
| For nearfield listening: which of these towers? Preludes are unique in the Silverline range of stuff...only one with aluminim/magnesium drivers, etc. They do sound better single wired, and are a great late night speaker...utterly worth it. |
