| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... If you have the right speakers (high impedance and higher sensitivity) I dont think you can find a better tube amp than Atma-sphere. I have owned several SETs and push pulls and on the right speakers (in this case DeVore 0/96s) the M-60s crushed t... | |
| Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp I own a Thor 1000 with a Khozmo attenuator and V-cap upgrades. The unit came to me with Russian 12AX7 and 12AT7s. These sounded terrible. So I changed to a pair of Telefunken 12AT7s and Raytheon Windmill 5751s. The old stock tubes were much better... | |
| Analysis plus ova 9‘S vs. Kimber cable 8tc’s. I owned the Analysis Plus and thought them one of the best less expensive cables I have owned. | |
| The Science of Cables Earlier rotarius stated that cable manufacturers used the same bulk cable supplied by the same sources. Even if this were true, and it is for many cable manufacturers but certainly not all, he is making the assumption that the conductor is all tha... | |
| Speaker Cable Advice I have been extremely impressed with the Inakustik Ref. 2404 speaker cable. I plan on buying the 4004s in the future. I have heard a great many cables and these are the best I have had in my room. I especially appreciate the design priorities of t... | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" Would you just look at the retail prices of these speakers, read what Tekton's designer has to say about design relevancy and use some basic common sense. | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" You dont have to be a technical stud to understand why these speakers should sound wrong. Approach these designs with a greater than normal degree of caution. | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. Dont own them but have heard them at shows and thought they were among the worst speakers I have ever heard. Sound was so bad that there was no way that the room or the associated equipment could be to blame. | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? Ascendo Model Ms. Honorable mention to my Quad 63s. | |
| Only you expensive cable owners, is this real? I dont doubt that Mapleshade makes some good products. The owner of this company lost me when he stated that the woods used to make instruments made the best component platforms. Some of what he says about cables makes sense. | |
| Silver plated copper There is no reason why you want to use 2 different conductors (of any type) in a cable. In fact I am also not in favor of any plating on surfaces which attach to equipment. FWIW. | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker I dont believe that Intuitive Design is an ongoing concern nor is Dale still in this industry. | |
| Is it all in my head?? Great post MrD! I especially like the way you described how you settled on horns. I am not a horn person as my journey and preferences took me in another direction. I would ignore the naysayers (and they are not all created equal) but sometimes t... | |
| Magicos are chesty I havent heard enough Magicos under optimal conditions to decisively comment but my guess is that the Magicos are revealing more of the true sound in the recording than other speakers you have heard. Most dynamic speaker stink with distortions som... | |
| Is it all in my head?? Far more likely that you are hearing a difference than it all being a figment of your imagination. |
