| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? It was great to meet the new folks and see some familiar faces at Bob's last week. Turnout was excellent, which alas means I did not get to talk with everyone for very long...Still amazed that this thread is still alive almost 8 years after my fir... | |
| Who likes LATIN JAZZ? Hmm...I;m not sure I would call things like danzon, guajira, salsa, and mambo "Latin Jazz". The danzon, salsa, and mambo are dances. The guajira is an early form of Cuban folks song with traditionally improvised verses (guajiro=redneck in Cuban sl... | |
| Tube amps vs solid state for large speakers 90 Db is not bad. I uses a pair of 175 watt Conrad Johnson tubed monoblocks to drive a pair of speakers with only 86 dB sensitivity. Tubed does not mean low powered - witness the various monsters from VTL. For under 2 K, you shold be able to find ... | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling Oneobgyn - Are you saying that the ribbed plate Tele's has a more balanced, richer sound on the ML2's? As for the 6N6P's, I have been trying to buy them from Lamm...but their response times are lousy..they took 4 days just to quote me a price ($ 4... | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling Txs, guys. That's a LOT of $ for plain ribbed Telefunkens! Are you sure they are not gold pins? On the 6N6P...I just ordered a bunch from Russia and will try to match them myself. How critical is matching on these? | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling TriodeDid you ever get any more leads on power cords to go with the ML2's? I am also using Telfunken 12AX7's....but plan to try a few others to find the best synergy with the rest of my system. I am told that the gold pin Telefunken ECC803S are ve... | |

| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? I heard the Mini's without the Torus subs very briefly..most of the time the Toruis subs were hooked up, so I would not want to comment much on the difference, but I wold imagine that with the right music and in the right room the mini's by themse... | |
| Tact XP with 16 bit DACs and biamping Fully agree with 4bucc...tha Mauiu Mods (same as Aberdeen Components) make the world of difference. The power supply is the highest priority as it impacts the entire unit...but every other mod improves the unit. | |
| Tact XP with 16 bit DACs and biamping HermanI might be able to help. I just set up a pair of Avantgarde Trios with Tact W210 subwoofers and a Tact 2.2 XP this weekend. I have been using a Tact 2.2 for the past ~ 4 years, at first with Sonus Faber Guarneri's and REL Strata Subs, then w... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Jim, DustyYeah..its been kind of slow to take off..but a couple of us do meet pretty regularly. Send me an email privately and I will add you to my mailing list. I am actually having 3-5 people over this weekend for a bit of listening. I've only m... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... It's a bit of a drive for you, but you can find a much wider selection in the Cincinnati area. Best place is The PArty Source right across the rive in Newport. They have a huge selection, with lots of rare (and expensive) bottlings. Just picked up... |
