| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? I agree with elizabeth that many on these forums contribute greatly to the problems in this hobby. I would think that many audio enthusiasts are of above average intelligence and therein, perhaps, lies the problem. Why would any person indulge in ... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers Once again roberjerman is speaking definitively about how you should spend your money. I am getting really sick of him telling us (me) what is and is not "throwing money away". Enough already! Some new members might actually take your advice and l... | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. I have yet to talk with the owner of a product that uses 6C33 tubes that hasnt had to live with much higher than average problems with these tubes during the first 50 or so hours of use. Perhaps this is no longer the case. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations Agree with much of what you say about the Sound Labs, however dont forget to mention that these speakers are dipoles which creates problems by virtue of this aspect. Not a small problem I might add. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations Not a fan of horns but I do think that something from Cessaro would be worth a look. Best I remember hearing. If you get horns be sure to power them adequately. I strongly favor more power from an OTL design over the lower powered SETs especially ... | |
| Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s I thought Magnepan and Stereophile didnt get along. Or I should say I didnt think they trusted Atkinson to give them a fair shake as incapable as he seems to be regarding understanding the limitations of his measurements. Not that they need an end... | |
| Our Responsibility Oh boy, there is always someone in every crowd that wants everyone to know their feelings about religion or politics. Almost like a badge of honor or a membership to club. If the analogy didnt suck I might be inclined to allow it. Of course kosst ... | |
| Please find the excuses for me not to buy Stax 009S headphone You shouldnt buy if any on this forum can talk you into or out of buying these phones. I never liked listening to headphones and havent missed them since I sold them years ago. This is not to say that I would have missed a different type of headph... | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? Neither really. All I want is to hear the recordings as accurately as possible. I dont consider my system a substitute for live music. If I want to hear musicians in the flesh I leave my listening room and go out. | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Whatever you decide, do not buy the older Wilson speakers with the awful inverted tweeter. | |
| looking for a tube preamps that doesn't sound like SS I forgot to mention that Audio Note Kit preamps are very good and lean toward the warm side but not obnoxiously so. You can buy them as a kit or have them assembled. | |
| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's If you have speakers of high impedance and also of a stable impedance you really cant do much better than Atma OTLs or even OTLs in general. In fact, you can pretty much forget about all other tube amp types (SET, Push Pull) if your speakers are a... | |
| looking for a tube preamps that doesn't sound like SS I am not sure why you would a warm old school sound unless you had some deficiency in your system that would cause you to want to thicken things up. A list of your components would be helpful due the fact that a change elsewhere could solve any pr... | |
| Soundlab A3s and thoughts. Ralph at Atma-sphere is your man. Not only does his equipment sound wonderful but he also knows of a few tweaks on the older SLs that can improve the speaker. Whenever I have heard the SLs sound really good they have been driven by tubes. At one C... | |
| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? A Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7 might hit a good balance between the Amperex (Philips) and Siemens.I dont like any Mullard 12AX7. I also dont care for any U.S. made 12AX7 except perhaps for the old stock Tung-Sols.If you can live with roughly 30% ... |
