| Unison Research Unico vs. Pathos Clasic MKII Gary and Arkprof,Thanks for your opinions. I am looking to replace my Arcam A90 with something more tube-like. Thinkin of a tube preamp with SS amp. | |
| What integrated amp to mach with Jolida JD100 cdp I am using Sylvania tube and I found it much better than those that came with the cdp - both warmer but more extended in the treble. My speakers are diy using Seas Exel drivers which are pretty good.For amplifier, I am using Arcam A90 which is pre... | |
| Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm Paradigm are Tyler Acoustic are completely different animal. It's like a Toyota Camry vs. a Jaguar. One is for the mass market and one is more hand crafted and specialized to a small niche in the market.I once heard a pair of Paradigm studio drive... | |
| 6 ohm speaker WHAT TAP I would go for 4ohm tap. Better bass control. | |
| Do people don't care or don't know? I agree with Mor2bz that nowaday a good system can be had for a relatively cheap price. And if you want to purchase used, the cost can be as much as half as new. It's hard to imagine money is a factor since you know ther sort of things people are ... | |
| Totem Forest with 300B Amplifier I once heard a pair of Forest with a 30W Unison tube amp and they sound fantastic especially with piano -- even the bass was impressive. Although they have relatively low efficiency, they work really well with even low power tube amp. | |

| Vocal Jazz recording with wide and deep sound stag I meant CD. Thank you. | |
| Arcam CD-33T FMJ vs Rega Jupiter 2000 I think it's a matter of taste. Jupiter is more musical while the CD33 more exact and precise. | |
| Isolation Platform - to be or not to be for CDP? Mine's are four rolled up socks from Costco, honestly and it works just fine. | |
| Are new tubes supposed to do this? I think it was a bad tube I put in. After putting back the tubes that known to be good, everything was fine.Thanks for all input. | |
| Are new tubes supposed to do this? My other tube that was good now went up in flame too. Somehow the bad tube is now affecting others ... like a virus. | |
| Are new tubes supposed to do this? John: I am not sure if the amp delays the B+ at turn on.On thing I forgot to mention is that I replace the tube when the amp is slightly warm. Maybe there was a mismatch in temprature between the tube at turn on but I am not sure.On thing I notice... |
