| How do you sort your LPs? I have over 3500 LPs at this point. I occasionally find duplicates and forgotten music. A less random arrangement would likely be better. It is fun to rediscover music though. | |
| How do you sort your LPs? Just like almost everything else in audio there seems to be a diverse set of opinions, methods or philosophies applied to LP sorting. Who would of guessed that :) Thanks for the good ideas.I like the idea of having an area or section to queue LPs.... | |
| Which brand of 45 tubes do you use? clio09, Do you mind elaborating on what you found different between the Atma-Sphere S-30 and M60s? How would you describe the Music Reference OTLs? Just curious.An OTL will likely make it into my arsenal. Haven't called Andy yet but he is on the ... | |
| Which brand of 45 tubes do you use? The Joule Electra OTLs were very nice sounding amps but too finicky for the showroom. Maybe the set we had needed repair. The biasing system was not consistent. I never experienced loud pops from faulty tube sockets but had read about it. The cont... | |
| Which brand of 45 tubes do you use? Larry, I believe I understand your description of "phasey". My 45 amps are a simple SET using one 45 tube (1.5 watts) and silver hybrid transformers. Our speakers are very dynamic so the mesh plate EML might be a nice matchThe only OTL amps I've... | |
| Which brand of 45 tubes do you use? Larry, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I like a wide open soundstage, "phasey" not so much. I don't know if you can answer this but even a hunch will help. Is the "phasey" sound characteristic of mesh plate EML tubes or could something else be ... | |
| Which brand of 45 tubes do you use? Larry, Now that you mention it, It's very possible that some of (or maybe all) the NOS tubes I bought aren't but just tested within new specs. They came in factory boxes with what appears to be period correct wrapping. I was told they were NOS. ... | |
| How do you sort your LPs? Thanks to all for your suggestions and opinions.I have a decent size (to me) collection of LPs. Most of them are originals, meaning I bought them new when they were first released, and are in great condition. I still buy LPs so the collection is s... | |
| Which brand of 45 tubes do you use? Thanks for your comments.I also use amps designed for 2A3 tubes. I have a few NOS, Shuguang and EMLs. In those amps in my system I prefer the EML 2A3s, mostly because they are the most transparent and balanced.For my 45 amps I have several NOS and... | |
| Wolf Audio Server/Streamer Owners @david_ten I apologize for not being more clear. I am not a Wolf Audio dealer but a happy customer. I was just offering a phone conversation if that may help in any way. Good luck in your search! | |
| Wolf Audio Server/Streamer Owners @david_ten Because of all the variables and the fact that so much depends on the associated equipment and the listener it's a challenge to offer meaningful comparisons. As a speaker manufacturer and knowing the challenges of being in the audio b... | |
| Wolf Audio Server/Streamer Owners Having a sizable vinyl collection and many CDs I was content with flipping disks and not in a big rush to purchase a music server. The real push came from exhibiting at audio shows. I realized that we were limiting our music selection. I met Joe a... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system BTW, Harry Weisfeld now has Apollo 12 loudspeakers in his home in his reference system. Apollos are an AMT based line array. | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? Being a designer and manufacturer of both floor standers and monitors I can comfortably say, assuming equal quality, that the total output (SPL) is what is the biggest compromise. Driving some monitor speakers to higher volumes will push them to h... | |
| Subwoofer high-level connection question I suggest contacting the tube amp manufacturer as well. Essentially you are wiring in parallel the speaker load to the REL high level connection and connecting it to the amp. |
