| 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... | |

| 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... | |
