| Another 6550 vs. KT88, 90, et. al.? I changed the Valve Art KT88s in my 'Canes to the EH KT88s. A definate improvement in detail and frequency extremes. I haven't heard the 6550s in the amps, but I feel that I'm not missing anything at all with the EH KT88s. They have all the bass I... | |
| I have a confession to make This is how I do it when I don't have any money for upgrades-Thank goodness for high limit credit cards!! Buy now pay later!! | |
| Do tube CD players and tube pre-amps play nice? I've used my BAT CD Player that has six 7308 tubes in it with the 21A that I used to own, going into a pair of ASL Hurricanes. Worked out wonderfully! | |
| SA-XR25 or SA-XR45 ? Don't forget that the XR45 has a beefier, better power supply than the 25. I opted for the 45, and haven't looked back. Worth the xtra $$ as Plato says. | |
| Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES Best Buy - $9.99 this week. | |
| Keb' Mo' -- tell me more I fully agree with all the above assessments....all great albums except "Big Wide Grin", which was coined as an album for the kiddies.I have his new one on order, but listening to the clips, it sounds like he's back to true form. Saw him in Ravini... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1; What Amps are People Using? I would say get VR-2s for the front, and eliminate the need for a subwoofer, a LCR15 Center, and VR-1s or LCR15s for the back. You should be pretty happy with this setup. | |
| Is There Such A Thing... Looking at my Monsoons....the cable is integrated with the speaker, so it would be pretty hard to seperate, if not impossible. With the limitations of these speakers and computer sound in general, I sure wouldn't sweat it, and use the money for so... | |
| The new Audible Illusions L-2, an improvement? I agree with Bigtee....Heck, I've been called by Jerry on Sunday no less to talk about my preamp! I'm curently getting my L2 upgraded to latest specs, and I feel that their support has been wonderful. Have your "friend" talk to Jerry or Art direct... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1; What Amps are People Using? Well, I don't have a "high current" amp per se, but I have been running my VR-1s with a pair of powerful ASL Hurricane tube amps. My room is 25' x 20' (+/- a few feet), and I can tell you that 1) these little wannabee speakers definately fill the ... | |
| What's the best way to clean vacuum tube pins? Most effective way for me is to use a dremel with the small felt pad and some green jewelers rouge. Then I coat with a Caig product, or Mapleshade's SilClear silver treatment.Be very careful when doing the inside of the pins, especially on slammer... | |
| The new Audible Illusions L-2, an improvement? It'll be worth the wait....no doubt about it. | |
| Von Schweikert VR 4 III SE v/s Legacy Focus 2020 Both are excellent speakers, worthy of any fine audiophile system. I now own the VR4 III HSE, and they replaced the Focus (not the 20/20s though).In summary:Bass - Better on the VR4s, tighter, less boomy, more punch, easier to control.Imaging - Bo... | |
| Belles 21A standby mode? Jmann....have you gotten any further details or information re: the tubes in the 21A and the standby mode? My emails have not been answered yet. | |
| Belles 21A standby mode? Bigtee...I'm not quite prepared to comment on the either the L2 or 21A, other than they both sound very nice and I could easily live with either of them. I just got the L2 less than a couple of weeks ago, and the 21A a week or so before that. Thes... |
