| Best audiophile earwax removal system? Go to an ENT! | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? Big fan of the Zesto Leto. Problem with the Audible Illusions is that you must be very careful with retubing. Berning is also excellent but he isnt selling his own name brand any longer and he has no LTA offering which competes with his last pream... | |
| What defines mid-fi versus high-end? It has everything to do with performance. | |
| Sonic frontiers Some of the worst sounding tube amps I have ever heard. Know less about the preamps, but would avoid the amps. Not to upset anyone but you asked. | |
| Tube noise when gain is increased, tube issue? The Freya is known for this problem. Do some research and you will find that you are not alone. You might be able to find a better tube but you also might be chasing your tail. I have had 6SN7s prove noisy in Schiit products that are not noisy in ... | |
| 12x7 tubes True some tubes were designed from the ground up for military application, but most were not and were simply tested for shock and vibration by the factory for the military. The internals of these tubes were no different than the tubes released to ... | |
| Axpona 2022 Yes the speakers used in the Atma-sphere room were single driver designs with thin plastic like enclosures. The drivers looked like Lowthers to me with whizzers. | |
| Axpona 2022 One pair of smaller Stenheim speakers ($ 72K) sounded excellent with tubed electronics from Sweden or one of those other cold places. The very big Stenheims sounded very boxy in one of the larger rooms with, I believe, S.S. electronics. With the... | |
| Axpona 2022 I couldnt agree with you more. | |
| Axpona 2022 I tested 3 times with rapid to confirm that I didnt have covid before going to the show and you dont have to thank me for doing the right thing. I hope we have moved passed these type of platitudes. | |
| Axpona 2022 Yeah it doesnt make sense to take CDs to these shows any longer. So I just take vinyl. If you think you will continue with CDs in the near future get ready for some really good deals on exotic transports. | |
| 12x7 tubes It is senseless to talk about good and bad vacuum tubes without knowing the "house" sound of each brand which can vary according to production periods. If a tube seller doesnt ask specific details about your components as well question you regardi... | |
| Axpona 2022 To the best of knowledge Mon are new to the U.S., but I am sure you could contact them directly if truly interested. His top tier speakers struck me as a real bargain. Dont forget those stands which may be critical are going to be expensive. | |
| Axpona 2022 And out come the militant Klipsch contingent proving once again that they are the audiophile equivalent to Harleys enthusiasts. Just one persons opinion of a speaker of all things. Relax, enjoy your Klipsch and be happy. Relax, heavily modify you... | |
| Axpona 2022 What do you mean "what is Klipsch thinking"? I think they know very precisely what a good chunk of their audience wants and expects. You have to play to your greatest strength. |
