| 12x7 tubes When I post information, it is about my experience with a product. I don't make blanket statements about what is good or bad. From the tubes I purchased and money I spent I found GE, Phillips and Sylvania NOS Jan tubes to sound very good. Not sure... | |
| 12x7 tubes Stellar Quality Space and military applications required electronics that could operate reliably in extreme environments of high altitude, high acceleration/vibration and even space, where high levels of radiation are present. Incidentally, one o... | |
| What does a subwoofer solve? When I listened to my system without a subwoofer I was pleased and could clearly hear stereo separation. But I had heard other systems whereby I heard much deeper frequencies in the music. In those systems I could not always place the lower notes/... | |

| Old Vandersteen model 2 vs. newer model 2 I have the 2CE Sig II speakers and yes they do sound better when out into the room and away from side walls. I added stereo Rythmik subs and that really increased the bottom end (but they were already very good). IMO the 2CEs are the best bargain ... | |
| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers To the OP, "Did you ever get to listen to the Treos?" I might have missed it. I have an order in for Tekton Design Double Impact SE but the wait is 2 months. I did hear the Treos once and they have a great sound over the 2CE Sig IIs that I own now... | |
| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? I don't completely agree that the DAC inside the Node is not that great. It sounds really good to me.
