| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Yes other speakers sound anemic because I think you like all of the information being added by the Harbeth. Again this is what I hear which is precisely what I expect given Shaw's design decisions. As you say to each his own and it should be no ot... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? The best 6SN7s I have heard were the Tung Sol round plates. These were used as drivers in a slightly brighter sounding power amplifier. Perhaps one of the best buys are the Hitachi made, often rebranded, 6SN7GTB tubes. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Well there is no denying that the best speaker for the individual is the one they like best. However, when you read some of what the Harbeth "guy" says most doesnt make much sense. Much of what Harbeth appears to do is create a sound that appeals ... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... I checked on images of Harbeth crossovers and was shocked. I dont care about the quality of the parts so much as the design itself. Check out some of the crossovers on Thiel speakers. | |
| 50 vintage speakers that give odds to modern acoustic systems Some real stinkers on this list as well. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Of course there is a difference between high end and budget speakers. What a ridiculous thing to say. Which is not to say that all high end speakers are good and all budget bad. | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 I listened at length to the AGDs at Axpona and was impressed with some of what I heard. I attribute much of this to the speakers and the synergy of the components. What I didnt like about the AGDs was a marked lack of depth and the sense that the ... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 If your speakers have a higher impedance, I cant recommend OTLs strongly enough. In my experience nothing can compare to the clarity and correctness of an OTL. If you like a great deal of flavor from your tube amps you might find OTLs a bit cold s... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 I owned a First Watt, cant remember the model, and could never get it to sound correct to my ears. Sold it and the person that bought it was very pleased. | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement The idea would be to run several dedicated lines one for each or similar pieces of equipment. Dedicate for digital and so on. No need for a dedicated box this just adds another break in the line. Some have told me that stranded wire works best.... | |
| Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon The demise of this hobby, if indeed it is on the skids, lies solely with us the consumer. And who the hell is Chip Stern? Look upon brick and mortars that discount as sternly as you do Audiogon. | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? Agree with mglik about the Zesto phono stages. I replaced my Deluxe with the Reference and love both phono stages. We are a Zesto dealer. We took on the line based on the sound of the original Deluxe which has been improved. | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? Ralph from Atma-sphere should chime in about the details of ARC balanced. He has a superb understanding of balanced/differential circuits. | |
| Piega loudspeakers I currently own speakers with ribbon tweeters and am moving away from this driver type as they always seem to be problematic in certain ways that I find increasingly irritating. Avanti mentioned artifacts and I think he is spot on and I have never... | |
