| 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. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Correction...make that "Sad Lisa". | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Cat Stevens "Lisa Lisa" and CSNY "Country Girl". To me, both are "achingly beautiful" and both impart a mysterious sense of yearning. |
