| 12BH7 Nos I dont think that there is a bad old stock 12BH7. Many talk about the RCA black plate but I have always preferred the "house" sound of Tung Sols. To my ears, RCA always had a bit or a tendency toward the warm and rich and I prefer a bit more exten... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? It is not a question of intent it is a question of sensitivity. | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Who cares what the press says and the reviews? Means next to nothing. I think the most important question is what equipment the OP currently uses and what he has heard in the past that he held in high regard. I own a VAC Phi 200. The VAC is a rela... | |
| Installation of new AC lines......best way to ground to avoid loops and noise Thanks for all for the advice and links! | |
| Help with speaker cable recommendations please Did the Art Audio guy design and make speakers in the past? If so he is a really good guy. | |
| Recommended Speaker List for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers. I think that the impedance curve is more important than the sensitivity. The DeVore 0/96s are a superb match and this comment is based on hours of actual listening experience. A friend and myself built a pair of M60s and have never heard a better ... | |
| The most important factor in soundstage imaging Forgot to add that a real enemy of speakers are crossovers which is why single driver speakers, when kept within its frequency comfort zones, are so good. All crossovers are problems, even the best first-order ones. It truly is like polishing a turd. | |
| The most important factor in soundstage imaging The real question is which S.S. amp has the correct soundstage? Some depth and dimension are artifacts that exist in part to the fact that your speakers are set out in your room and also from the room itself. Many recordings with depth actually sh... | |
| This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! I think they sound good for the money. Would be curious if any owners have had problems with old stock tubes, specifically 6SN7s or problems with stock tubes going noisy or microphonic prematurely? | |
| Help with speaker cable recommendations please I would avoid some of the bigger names like: Nordost, MIT, Synergistic, Transparent, Cardas, etc. Buying used was excellent advice however. I am very impressed with Inakustik cables and for lower dollars: Crimson and Analysis Plus. There is a newe... | |
| Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ? Hey thanks for letting us know what you think of the U.S. and its health care system. Tourist or participant? Oh and to answer your question: not many. | |
| Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ? Although I have had no direct experience with either of these shops I was told to stay away from Wayne as his current practices are a shadow of what put him on the map years ago. I have a pair of 63s in need of a rebuild and I plan on sending them... | |
| Inakustik cables The company is German so perhaps Europeans think that the name is acceptable. Certainly nothing is as original as using one's initials. | |
| Inakustik cables I have the 2404 speakers cables and the top of line RCA I/Cs. I think these are superb cables and most importantly much of their cable "speak" makes perfect sense. Craftmanship is the best I have seen. I plan on upgrading to the 4004 speaker cable... | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? While not a Klipsch fan and not really a fan of horns I do appreciate aspects of their performance. What I hope most understand that, as far as horns go, Klipsch is pretty much the bottom rung on the ladder. I guess my point would be that if you a... |
