| Audible differences between speaker cables? I found that once a person doesn't believe in cables, it's really a waste of time to convince him or her. | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) Is Dunlavey still around? There was another manufacturer whose name has a native American origin but I can't quite remember. Thiel now is no longer making time-aligned speakers. There is another in Colorado that I can't seem to remember (it's "... | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) Sure, can't wait to the my Thiel. For me it's a bit sad that not more manufacturers try to do what he did. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? You don’t have to be Mark Twain to write these kinds of garbage. Check out some I came up with while writing a stupid program. I’ll do more once I get a my next Mark Twain inspiration. There are two kinds of audiophiles. Those who are tubes... | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) I haven't heard the Ayre preamp. It appears to be a solid state design. I think the XP10 performance probably represents a point of diminishing return and other parts of the system may represent a bottle neck. I think I've made up my mind my ne... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? No wonder most writers are dead poor. | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) I was actually trying to look into the ET5 but I couldn't find any available here on Audiogon. It's interesting that the ET5 also uses JFET as the buffer output, so it's not really a purely tube preamp, but more as a hybrid. In that sense, it sh... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? "Cold and technical. Not warm and natural while slightly, but pleasantly, imperfect. "This argument reminds of the argument of amplifier feedback. There are those who believe feedback is better and there are those who believe feedback is worse. ... | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) "Again try the Tele's"I wish life could be that simple. | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) " perhaps your LS held back by the tubes.... ?"A better set a of tube such as the Amperex 6299 would improve the sound but I don't think it will solve some of the 17LS weakness such as dynamic, bass, and linearity. I think in order to get the Xp... | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) fjn04,Although I think the XP10 is a very good pre amp, I had wished I should have bought may be a 16LS or some Cary tube amps. But then I design my own speakers so in that sense, the XP10 is more neutral and probably better since it allows me to... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Also another question to ask is that can we invent a device that sound even better than tubes and transistors? Does such a device exist?I mean it took lots of money and time back then to invent tubes and transistors. It seems like in term of hum... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? If transistors came first, it's probably true that we would not have tubes since there are no reasons and as the saying goes, necessity is the mother of all inventions, people wouldn't spend their time working on something that is not needed. But... | |
| Simaudio W7 amp sounds not quite expected I feel stupid because the problem is traced back to a faulty speaker connectors - for whatever reason it slightly short. Now the sound is a lot more like it. It's like the W3 but a lot better in every way.But anyway, will wait for the Pass Labs ... | |
| Simaudio W7 amp sounds not quite expected This is a second hand amp that I bought so probably well broken in. |
