| what is a high end component ? Back to the question...If you can't buy it at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Circuit City, then it's high end....;) | |
| EL-34: JJ Tesla or Electro-Harmonix? Interesting shootout Trelja! Too bad you couldn't incorporate the SED "winged C" EL34s in there somehow. Looking forward to your write up, especially your results compared to the $$ Mullard XF1s.I will be going thru the same thing myself, comparin... | |
| Where to find quality "stock" power cords Get the Volex 17604 power cords from Carlton Bates. The buyer may actually thank you for it.http://www.carlton-bates.com/cb/invsrch/invframe.asp?srchfield=catsearch&vendor=ALL&codevend=ALL&sval=17604 | |
| Opinions on speaker cable upgrade Give Gregg Straley's Reality speaker cables a listen. I am currently running these, biwired, and they are smooth and airy, but at the same time detailed without brightness, and my 200+ lb. speakers disappear nicely! He offers a trial period, so yo... | |
| What are these tubes The numbers you are referring to are mfg. codes. I'm guessing but it might be factory code (230) and date codes (5-52) may mean the tube was mfg'ed either on the 5th day or in the 5th month of 1952. | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Eggleston Works Andra II Ije, let your ears be your guide. There's so much more to speakers' performance than just looking at some specs or charts. Make your decision after hearing the Andras and Vans. The big question is "how will each sound in your room?".As for the And... | |
| What is best audiophile MP3 player????? Can you use "audiophile" and "MP3" in the same sentence?? | |
| What PC best for Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamp? Wlo, the Poiema!!! power cord just gets out of the way and lets the preamp do its thing. I hate to overuse the term "neutral", but the P!!! is. It allows the preamp to soundstage big and airy, the midrange is spot on, and the bass is full and taut... | |
| What PC best for Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamp? Of the ones you mention, I tried the Poiema !!! and VD Nite II on my Modwright preamp. The P!!! is still there, while the Nite II powers up my Modwright 9000ES nicely. I also have a P!!! on the power supply that provied juice for the tube output s... | |
| Amperex white label PQ 7308 in FS pres delux 2 ? Yes, those are great tubes for the FS. I used them when I had my First Sound, but ultimately, I preferred the Philips SQ (Special Quality) E188CC / 7308. | |
| Audio Debt? Ahhh, the benefit of 0% credit cards! | |
| MAM-A Mitsui vs. Taiyo Yuden - Which One? Try here, though not as low as $22...These are the ones made in Japan, which are the preferred ones.http://www.cdrdvdrmedia.com/taiyo-cd-r-52x-bulk.htmlCheers... | |
| Atma-Sphere amps with Eggleston Andra II's I totally agree that the Andras like a lot of power. However, I'd have to question the need for 500w or more. I'm sure it depends on the amp, but I'm happily running my Andra IIs off of a BAT VK-500 amp w/ the BAT-PAK (250wpc into 8 ohms) and I ha... | |
| Music volume? What about your sound level? Funny you mention this Bill...Just today, I was jamming with Stevie Ray Vaughn, and out of curiosity I checked my SPLs....94db average. I think I better tone it down! Normally, I don't listen this loud, but hey, it was SRV! | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Do these duplicators, such as the the Cool Copy, require some sort of burn in or break in period? |
