| the air dielectric Tara Labs claims a vacuum dialectric? Sounds next to impossible to implement correctly. Also Inakustik uses a coating which isnt air (as suggested by another member) but it seems a good approach and their cables sound very very good. | |
| Tube tester...anyone own their own? Agreed, I have heard that Paul is very good. This comes from several discerning peers as well as clients. | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? Certainly not if you hear some of the other options available in this price range. | |
| Tubes, to damp or not to damp? Not a fan of any of these devices. Very simple solution if your tubes are microphonic then replace the tubes. If all your tubes are microphonic then replace the component. In all but a few poorly designed components microphonics is rarely an intri... | |
| What will audiophiles do Different? I am much the opposite of a few others it would seem. I would spend as little on digital as possible and put the money saved into further improving my analog front end and phono preamp. | |
| You can't have too many bass traps... Absolutely incorrect! I would think that you can have too many of any treatment. | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? sgreg is correct, speaker sensitivity is not the most important spec when it comes to judging an amplifier and its power output. Also provided you dont clip your amps (especially if they are S.S.) you can never have too much power. In my experienc... | |
| 2way vs 3way speakers: different or is one "better" Within a lower price range, I would always go with a 2 way. | |
| Should I spike my Forte IIIs Isoacoustics out of Canada makes some relatively cheap stuff that looks interesting. | |
| Rega planar 3 or Project X2? Which is the better turntable? I would go with the Project. | |
| Amp Speaker Pairing Those that have suggest either Tannoy or Klipsch are suggesting speakers that dont have much in common with Wilson. There is a very significant difference in sound and entirely different approaches to speaker design. The best I have ever heard Wil... | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match I think that this speaker uses a Beryllium tweeter. I have heard tweeters of this type sound good, but this is not a material I would favor and usually dont like tweeters of this type. Experiment with speaker placement and tame your first reflecti... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? Once again I take the opposite view of millercarbon. With tube amps, especially OTLs, the speaker impedance is more important than sensitivity. | |
| Expanding questions about tubes in a preamp As others have shared, there are types of noise that are intrinsic to the component and the tube itself. As geoff points out all tubes have some degree of microphonics and the gain of the component in which the tubes are used has a huge effect on ... | |
| Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection Unless you plan on using tube gear, I wouldnt even consider the Klipsch.Kenjit perhaps you could make a suggestion. At least the other members pointed him in a specific direction. |
