| Do "Tube Rings" really work? I think Galen Carol Audio sells them. Galen is a great guy and a pleasure to deal with. He is at www.gcaudio.com or call 210-805-9927. | |
| MOST tubelike solid state amp I would listen to the Belles 350A. It is 250wpc and sounds a lot like tubes. I have its little brother the 150A Hot Rod and it is as close to tubes as you can get. | |
| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? Cwlondon makes a great point. I posted earlier on this tread because the snobometer was pegging big time! This is a problem with high end audio. We don't just see it happen with dealers but now we are seeing it with people who are trying to sell t... | |
| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? I forgot to mention that I call the factory with the serial number and ask about service history, upgrades or changes since manufacture date, etc. Anal? Annoying for the buyer? Probably; but I have read to many posts on this and other forums where... | |
| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? I don't think it is unreasonable to ask about the history of a component. If the unit has been serviced it may or may not indicate a problem. If you feel comfortable buying something that has made a couple of trips back to the factory, knock yours... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC Anyone had the chance to match the MF against the new Bel Cqanto DAC 2? | |
| No Sellers willing to do COD anymore??? I did several CODs with no problem. Then, I sold something COD and UPS delivered the package but didn't collect the money. The guy was honest and sent me the check. Soon after that I agreed to a COD sale and a day later the guy e-mails me and says... | |
| Belles 150A or Hot Rod I have to concur that the Belles Hotrod is a great amp. I would rate the Hotrod and the Marsh a200 as the 2 best amps in the $1500 range. Both amps have different strengths and we are getting in to splitting hairs. You couldn't go wrong with eithe... | |
| which amp would you choose I should add that this got started because we were talking about amps that seem to have a cult following. We agree that performance does not always follow price but in general the better amps cost more dollars. We both have tube preamps, the Rogue... | |
| analysis plus differences Of course I could do that but is the difference worth the money. The question is how close does th Clear Oval come to the Oval 12. Thanks | |
| best integrated to go with Talon Khites? Anyone tried the Plinius 8100 or 8200 with the Khites? | |
| plinius vs perreaux integrateds Thanks for the feedback. I have talked with John and he is directing me toward the Perreaux 200i. Given your descriptions, I might prefer the Plinius even though it is slightly less user friendly. This reminds me of an ongoing debate I have with a... | |
| plinius vs perreaux integrateds I did find some info but much of it is about older Perreaux products and I found very little about the comparison of the integrateds. | |
| Shipping: A lesson learned How about this one? The other day I sent something to a guy UPS-COD for $418 several hundred miles away. UPS delivered the package but forgot about the COD. Customer service was clueless about what to do next. I had to call several times to get an... | |
| Integrated to go with Merlin monitors Adam, I have used a Rega Mira 2000 to drive the TSMs and it sounds great. |
