| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. I think that tube amps are much better at low volumes inherently provided that the speaker doesnt present to difficult a load. The best low volume speakers I have heard are horns (compression drivers), but they arent very good in other areas which... | |
| klipshorn speakers It is hard for me to imagine listening to a Khorn w/o serious modifications. Some of the inherent problems of this speaker in stock form (older models) just get worse as volume is increased. Some of these mods arent terribly expensive. | |
| Tube Preamp - What to buy? Agree that a good integrated might be the best choice. | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? Avoid DSP at all costs. Good devices will cost you a decent amount and the poor ones are a disaster. Regardless of how much you spend you will hear them and it will get worse as your system improves. At least MC didnt mention S.R. and Raven. I don... | |
| Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9 Verity then Kharma. Your choice of music has no bearing on which speaker will be best. | |
| KEF Blade -- how good are they? I heard them at Axpona and was not impressed. But this is really not fair as I think they deserved better electronics and were played far too loud. I expected the KEF guy to start passing the bong at any time. I like the Hegel stuff, but I dont th... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 tube rolling I know that old stock 6AS7Gs dont typically work as well in place of the newer types that Ralph sells. The same may be true of 6080s. My advice would be to concentrate on the 6SN7s and to leave the power tubes alone at least for now. Not all secti... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon Actually engineers are often shackled by cost, appearance and other aspects during design and production. I have no doubt that many fine products can be improved by the efforts of tweakers. Trick is to improve the sound not simply change it. It is... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon I will indeed choose wisely and will never recommend something I havent spent considerable time with. For now I choose not to read anything that you have to say. | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon Wow I didnt know MC was recommending components before owning them. If this is true, nothing more need be said or known. | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon Just when you start to think MC isnt quite so bad, he then has to post something. You let others take about your merits other than talking about them yourself. So even if half of what he posts about himself is true, I am still not interested in wh... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon Well MC certainly gets some things right, but God help us all if you start extoling this on this forum. He is almost intolerable when he is wrong. So please think of the children. | |
| Speakers The single most critical component I am sure these driver manufacturers are retooling as I write this. | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... Yeah but he used Audioquest once and didnt hear any improvement. It isnt his opinion it is his attitude. | |
| Tube vendors. Yes there were, but when you see large quantities of NOS in white boxes that arent JAN or industrial and there is only 1 seller making this claim it should give you pause. True NOS is like being pregnant....you is or you aint. Original boxes dont ... |
