| set vs otl, which is the most musical Staying away from all the inevitable rehashes of the pitfalls of these two designs and, instead, simply focusing on the question at hand, I think the majority of listeners who have experienced the unique charms of a superior OTL and SET contender ... | |
| Best place to buy tubes Andy will be closing up shop very soon, FYI. I just reloaded a complete set for my MP-1. | |
| Best nos 6sn7g for my Atmasphere mp1. I believe the previous poster failed to notice that you're requesting MP-1 recs. I have an MP-1 paired with M60s and have found the Sylvanias to be my preference in the MP-1. Do yourself a favor and get in touch with Andy @ Vintage Tube Services a... | |
| sonic signature of Pure Note Paragon Question I too am a year late coming to this thread but FWIW, about a year ago I pulled out my 10 meter QFil XLR between amp and pre and plugged in the Paragon Enhanced. It's still there. A little over two months ago I swapped my Valhalla bi-wire for Parag... | |
| Best Source for Tubes None better than Andy at Vintage Tube Services but hurry...he's shutting down in about 6 months. | |
| Bybee Slipstream Golden goddess speaker cable tail I have noted worhtwhile improvements when using them in conjunction with my Valhalla bi-wires and my newly acquired Pure Note Paragon Enhanceds. Increased detail and definition of subtle tones and textures are their strong suit. HTH! | |
| Siltech SQ28 mk II vs Purenote Paragon Enhanced I know this thread is mainly concerned with ICs but it just so happens that I am currently testing Paragon En. speaker cables against Valhallas. About a year ago I replaced my 10 meter QFil XLR with a similar Paragon, preferring its smoother, some... | |
| If $ was no object what speaker would you buy? My road trip would begin in Germany to experience the Acapella Spharon Excaliburs (closeout priced @ $325,000.). Then, it's off to California to be immersed in the new Magico Ultimates. And since money is no object, I'm going to specify them with ... | |
| Am I missing something here? As I recall, the rate of volume attenuation for dynamic drivers is 6db/meter and 3db/meter with panels. You're sitting approx. 4 meters from the speakers. Do the math and I think we can explain most of your loss. Also. I am not very familiar with ... | |
| Theta Data Basic II cd transport Reliability ? Knock on wood, I bought my TDBII new in '96 and nary a problem so far. For the last three years it has served as my secondary transport to the Accustic Arts Drive 1 but it still does get regular use. YMMV. | |
| Better interconnects than Paragon within $800? "...smooth, transparent, full and liquid with good soundstage..." You just reviewed the Paragons and don't even know it. Good job. | |
| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? Just north of the Chocolate City. It would be so appropriate if George Clnton would come to town and kick off a relief concert. | |
| jewelers loop I'm thinking about a jeweler's loupe too. I haven't been able to see my stylus at all since '99. | |
| Bybee speaker cable "chargers" I have bi-wired Duos and run the chargers into the midrange and tweeters. I find purification to be more important and intelligible from the mids up but, without doubt, your bass will benefit from their application as well. | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object What with Bob Crump's passing this may no longer be an option (at least new) but the CTC Blowtorch would be on my shortest of lists. |
