| Best Sounding L/R Speakers for DVD/BD Movie Sound? > $4K/pair Speakers from Harman are real easy to listen to due to them having a drop of about 5db from bass to treble. They are detailed still but just an easy listen. I had a pair of 228be and while not by favorite speaker I owned they were outstanding for... | |
| Best Sounding L/R Speakers for DVD/BD Movie Sound? > $4K/pair They are great speakers and very faithfully reproduce whatever is on the disk. Okay, but as I pointed out movie audio quality like the BD Edition of North by Northwest may comprise perhaps only 25% of my collection. So such speakers might disap... | |
| Best Sounding L/R Speakers for DVD/BD Movie Sound? > $4K/pair You risk really hating these movies even more with a better system as it will really highlight bad post production.. No doubt, especially with horn speakers using beryllium drivers, like these I’ll be building to play my good music recordings; ... | |
| Review: Ming Da MC-2A3 Tube preamp Please share opinions on Cary SLP-05 preamp. And please recommend the top three to five 6SN7/2A3 tube preamps for ~ $3.5K -phono stage not required. Must have at least 5V output to drive my First Watt F4 amp to power my 93db speakers. And ... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I was so lucky to have purchased the DS2 preamp back in February, but it won't be in use to drive my First Watt F4 amp until my speakers are finished. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650073006-don-sachs-ds2-tube-preamp/images/4929521/ Meanwh... | |
| Solid State Low powered Amplifiers How does it sound compared to regular Class AB amps? Specs show this. No caps. Could be a fun little test amp, more if it can hold one’s attention. Here’s a user review. https://db.audioasylum.com/mhtml/m.html?forum=amp&n=249357&highlig... | |
| Regarding Quoting someone on the forums Sorry, but i have to say it: This forum has THE most idiotic format for quoting the text of members and then, however haphazardly, reply to them. Name one other forum audio technology forum with functionality anywhere near this absurd. I still can... | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) Any DACs in the $3K to $5K price range which any have actually heard which seriously beats the Okto in soundstage size, imaging, tonality and across most other parameters? | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers My big problem is that my otherwise wonderful custom built speakers only go down to 70Hz. So, which if any of these subs would make the audio sound the least colored or incoherent with having to cross the high up? | |
| A quick question related to Amperex Bugle Boys Assuming that this can be considered a high price for a dual triode (stereo) preamp tube relative to its NOS availability, when might someone attempt to perfectly clone this Amperex tube? https://tubedepot.com/products/amperex-bugle-boy-ecc83-1... | |
| which 6sn7 gives the most air?? I’ve used that Dehavilland/Chimera list as a guide and found the results spot on, although not complete. The VT-231 Tung-Sol, round black plates have it all, air, dynamics, 3D image, and a premium price. As stated above, Sylvanias are neutral w... | |
| Horns and 2in Drivers the B&C unit uses a 2" voice coil coupled to a 5" (paper composite) diaphragm, much the same way as the RCA MI-1428 field coil driver of yore (build from the late 1920’s, if I’m not incorrect), the vintage driver B&C has sought to more or... | |
| Preamp Recommendation for First Watt F4 My guidelines are single ended, 20+db gain, and preferably tubes. Not ideologically opposed to solid-state, but think tubes are better fit in general. My short list: This is a proven alternative to drive the F4 cleanly to rated output. ra7 said... | |
| Preamp Recommendation for First Watt F4 Please tell me about your experiences with the F4 amp driving what speakers and from what line stage. | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 Pass Labs admittedly and intentionally adds some even order harmonic distortion to all their amp designs. This is commonly known to be perceived by humans as a euphonic overall sound quality similar to tube amps, which many devoted Pass fans and ... |
