| Which tubes are the best? My new Amps came with two quads of NOS Mullards EL34. I loved them so much I started replacing the rest of my system with NOS Mullards - preamp NOS 12AT7 and phonostage NOS 12AX7. They are as you described in your post- liquid smooth detailed ri... | |
| Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? Rega- it’s hyped maybe deservedly so, but should get a mention regardless When I started my first ever audiophile TT search this past Spring, I soon realized it was going to a nightmare of obsessive, expensive and inefficient tweaks for me, severa... | |
| Whats your favourite track to play to the non hi-fi visitor? That easy. Joni Mitchell Blue side B. Start with River, then A Case of You . I am a lonely painter | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Question. Ear to speaker driver, or some distance away, at what volume level determines noisy problem? Half way ? For example at 50 (halfway on my knob), barely audible with ear to drivers but at 60 start to hear hiss more prominently. | |
| Floor standing or Large bookshelf recommendations - 2.0 channel setup Sorry did you state a budget? Apologize if I missed. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @dhite71Does a faint white noise degrade the sound somehow particularly if its barely audible without putting your ear to the driver? | |
| Spacial Audio Lab X3 and Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 I think there’s a return policy on the Spatials. I was interested too but have never liked built in subs for whatever reason, so I hope one day to try the M3. | |
| Looking for more detail in a speaker The comments on the Triton are spot and make sense. The venerable designer Sandy Gross founded Def Tech and it was the same there - emphasis on deep bass in tower speakers at the expense of the rest of the curve - high volume, dig low, hit hard wa... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @larry5729 Personally I prefer solid state powering my dedicated home theater. And for music much prefer the tonality and nuances to an all tube analog front end. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @dodgealum I’ve only heard great things-- cabinet workmanship supposed to be the very best, and similar to Harbeth, the box is used to maximize the sound the builder is after. I feel like these boutique speaker builders should make demo pairs and ... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @yogiboy Thanks. But like at Tube depot, they have an incremental charge of $4 for "Low Noise & Microphonics" which based on your description would seem to be binary or incompatible....? Is this a good option to choose ? And next, when we use ... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Any opinions on Tube Depot? And can I please get educated on what add on options on tubes mean like balanced triodehigh gainlow noise and microphonic? | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? Does a speaker exist that has the warmth, the musicality and very critically the tonality of Harbeth with no boxy sound and no boomy bass? If so, sign me up. I will demo it asap. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @layton64Spot on ! That intangible their users talk about is their tonality. It has to be experienced in the right setup to understand. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @decathlon1991 was top of the line Audio Research rack and the other was Dan D'agostino momentum line. Is that matching equipment? |
