| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em I get the impression that Krusty does have experience that is valuable to our discussion, and for that reason I will miss him, assuming that his promise is sincere. The problem is that I don't think he's leaving because of the reasons he states. K... | |
| Which best 5U4GB rectifier tube- Mesa Boogie or ?? Look at the coke bottle Sylvania (shaped as it sounds). I have a National Union in my AirTight ATM300 SE amp and it is very nice, but hard to find. I have tried many. Rectifiers are relatively cheap off ebay, so you can experiment. Let us know wha... | |
| Opinions on why this system is uninvolving charles, try to swing the Supra amps, maybe get package deal. Jud Barber is an old friend of mine at Joule, great guy and I have his pre, but the amps are different. The amps are more thin than the pre's. I haven't heard the Stargate, but would be... | |
| Black glass KenRad 6SN7s take the cake KenRad black glass are extremely fine. I have four NOS 1944 matched pairs, army boxes, that I am still glad I accumulated at the time. I use the Tungsol round getter black glass, but only because speakers in that particular system are not full ran... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Oh, detlof, when are we going to get that thread you promised on musicality? We must be sure to invite Krusty and Jetter. Remind me then. | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em No, detlof, Popper did not, from what my admittedly limited knowledge of his ideas can tell (oh my God, Jetter, here's where we could, just could, veer into Jung!!!! Stooooone the witch!!!).I'm not sure about his personal life, but, basically, in ... | |
| Opinions on why this system is uninvolving Btuna, Supratek has some LAMM look alike amps for @ $5K which is a steal - a lot for your $. Take a look on their site. Havene't heard them myself, but worth consideration given pre's performance.Let's see, Audiomecca/EAD with JL Mini/REL, Suprate... | |
| Problems getting the best out of my Berning I've heard the Berning break in on a Acoustat 1+1 - a difficult load - and compared with the Pass Aleph 3 at the same time. On bass its not the Berning, and very doubtful that its a reliability issue.Although I agree that cabling is not something ... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Jetter:Krusty is in the circle, whether he knows it or not. You're the only one who is not, and by your own choice.Now, can someone hand me the fly swatter... | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. will, if you want to post those websites you told me about here, that would be ok too. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ads, I'm a tube guy, but if you like the Spectral/Supratek combo, I'd be hard pressed to find an alternative; I think that you might miss that iron fist authority of the Spectral's and their vanishingly low "noise floor". On the other hand, if tha... | |
| Opinions on why this system is uninvolving Tok, agreed.Stehno, sorry I hit you too hard. You didn't seem to be waking up. Hope you feel better after hitting me back. I will leave you with that and turn the cheek. You need to ask yourself, however, how my original post steering the poster a... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Very funny!!! Thanks guys for the chuckle. Again, I think opinions on wire have less to do with technology and science than people's 1) emotional reaction to the exhorbitantly high prices of "exotic" wire, and 2) because of that emotional orientat... | |
| Opinions on why this system is uninvolving Stehno, you keep making assumptions, as in, if I don't believe that the Vandy's are the last word on spatial and harmonic performance, then, ipso facto, I've somehow said that they are "sterile". That's NOT what I said and I do not appreciate your... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Oh Jetter, Jetter, don't you know that an opinion (your "call") lacks credibilty when made summarily without reasons, support or evidence? That's a premise of method, and especially scientific method, and also dialogue. I'm sure Krusty would remin... |
