| Looking for perspectives I went from a SS CJ 2500A to a Bob Latino Tubed ST-70 amp. I sold the CJ within the month. This is not a put down of the CJ. I love their sound, but the tube amp has a quality which I think is better | |

| New in 2019 Personally, I'd love to see someone take the old R&B which Phil Specter recorded and somehow take all the echo, etc from the recordings. I love the music of Temptation, Smokey Robinson,& the Miracles, etc but the wall of sound only sounds ... | |
| Cconfused... @jtcfAnother instrument which my tube amp gets right is horns, especially the Sax. I was quite surprised at how real it sounds. Its as if you can hear the reeds fluttering. I never experienced that with my SS amps even though they got good reviews. | |
| Cconfused... @ishkabibil I am a drummer who, like you appreciate a good bass line. I have fought for years to get the bass up to where it sounds right. My room is very large which helped emphasize the lack of bass. I've always heard the tubes do not do bass a... | |
| Cconfused... @Elizabeth Several years ago I read about using pumice stones as footers under my cdp. Though a skeptic, these are readily available and cheap. (Used for pedicures). I picked up some of them and tried it. I could not believe what I was hearing and... | |
| hi anbody have a wood record mat ? @uberwaltz I think @lewm has good points about different woods causing different sounds. Music instrument makers are aware of this. Maple seems to be a favorite. You need to clamp it down somehow. A record clamp would probably do it. I wouldn’t wo... | |
| Speaker Project @ishkabibilI understand you liking the Advents, especially the Original (12" frame 10" woofer) I am a drummer and tend to have my bass set at a higher level than others. I had the Original Advents also. They were very well reviewed back then. But ... | |
| New to the two channel world - Advice needed on preamp dspr has given you good info. I am partial to CJ myself. however, ARC is a good choice as well. FWIW, I have a CJ PFR which I was waiting till fall to sell. It has been serviced, cleaned and new capacitors installed. this was done early this sum... | |
| hi anbody have a wood record mat ? Some years ago, Chris Brady (Teres Audio) and some other a'philes got together to do a shootout between Chris' new wooden platter and his lead loaded acrylic platters. The wood platter was the hands down winner in every case according to those who... | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO My only experience with Carver was when I was looking at the Amazing loudspeaker in the 80's. The holographic preamp was in use as they bragged on how good it sounded. It sounded awful to my son and I. I always believed it was operator error in th... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? Interesting that some have talked about regular people as if we aren't regular. We are regular. We just have a hobby that is outdated. It became outdated because music is so cheap. It's everywhere for free.. oh, sure. High definition music cost so... | |
| Need RCA loading plugs Have you tried it without loading? I have a JLTi which I run without loading plugs. It runs a Zyx 4D LOMC very nicely at 47K .It also ran a Benz Ebony L without loading. If your preamp is stable enough it may run without the loading. But you won't... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? @douglas_schroeder Another part of my problem is too many hobbies. Each wants my time and $$$. Music is my #1 hobby though I actually consider it my lifestyle more than a hobby@bigkidz , concerning what is missing with my amp?, ....Nothing. May... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? BTW @douglas_schroeder The dedicated room talk was 10-12 yrs ago. had some health issues which actually took that out of play. I took about a 3-4 yr sabbatical from music during that time. Now, I'm old & broke (well, not broke but badly bent)... |
