| Differences in SQ between EL34, KT-88 & 6550 Tubes I echo what Newbee wrote, the generalizations he made match my experience with these tubes. I would only add that the 6550 seems to produce the best very low bass, at least among the amps I've auditioned. | |
| Miles Davis Box Sets: Mosaic LP -v- Sony CD I agree with Dave, however I am basically an LP only guy. I never liked the Miles CD versions, so when Mosaic pressed these sets, I bought all I could afford. (Mosaic) Miles Davis "Plugged Nickel" (MO10-158).(Mosaic) "Miles Davis/Bill Evans comple... | |
| Audiophile license plates The most memorable personal license plate I ever saw was on a German luxury sedan in the parking lot at a local hospital. I laughed when I figured it out.ID DOCAssume the driver was a Psychiatrist. | |
| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. Any chance of us trading copies of 15 IPS open reel tapes? I don't have as many as you but am about ready to install my restored Ampex 351 into my system.I have one original safety (NOT a copy) and a few master dubs. | |
| Help Me Find This Song: Christy/Christie? Do you remember if it was a cut from a movie sound track, a popular music hit, redone oldie or what? | |

| 12AT7 tubes Two of the best tubes are Mullard M8162 gold pin which is a military version of the Mullard 12AT7. Also the standard Telefunken 12AT7 and the long life 10 K hour Telefunken 801S. The 801S is very expensive, the Mullard is available in matched pair... | |
| PAD Venustas Tony, Those that were specific preferred Venustas tonal balance, no mention of resolution or imaging differences. Venustas supposedly delivered better bass, or perhaps "more" bass in relationship to the level of the midrange and highs. I believe o... | |
| VTA and 180 gram vinyl Im too lazy to adjust for every LP and I am certainly a dedicated analog guy. When Lloyd Walker was here he fussed at me and wanted to show me how "easy" it was to adjust for each thickness.I told him that once I finished dinner and two beers or ... | |
| CDP to replace vinyl I agree with Herman, you won't get better sound than your vinyl, but perhaps your life will be simpler. For my taste, I like the (tube) Audio Note DAC's, as they're easy on the ear. Perhaps you could buy one used here at Audiogon, drive it with a ... | |
| PAD Venustas Tony, I honestly don't know. The owner of Purist says Sweden and Germany are going absolutely crazy over Aqueous Anniversary, but of the guys here in the USA that have borrowed both from me, over half preferred Venustas.Perhaps USA customers have ... | |
| PAD Venustas Kharmapolice, RE: Venustas and Aqueous Anniversary. These two cables have similarities and differences, it seems to matter a great deal where in the system the comparison is made. Dominus is such a world beater it almost doesn't matter where it's ... | |
| Is there an AM i-pod add-on? I did the typical internet search with a couple of engines:Appears there are quite a few others looking for the same thing. Currently there is no such device, with reception pointed out as a stumbling block.FM can make use of the headset cord but ... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Whart, it was supposed to ship the 13th, four days ago. The dealer was busy and took longer to get the original boxes and pack it up.I hope the Kuzma and the new Koetsu Jade Platinum both show up this coming week. Assuming the new Koetsu Jade and ... |
