| 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% ... | |
| Useful Idiots "Kreator" is a metal band. | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste Stereophile is the same just better at hiding it. Corruption is unavoidable if your publication depends on ad revenue. For the record, corruption doesnt have to be anything as insidious as pay to play it can be much more subtle like not giving a s... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! prof,I assume that when you suggest a speaker measures well you are referring to frequency response?I have seen JA ignore, explain away or excuse very bad measurements on speakers which frequent the pages of Stereophile while scratching his head o... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! I refer to the entire Harbeth line although I have never heard these speakers in my home. I did, I think, get a very good idea of how they sounded at shows and at a few dealers. I am sure they can sound better but the fundamental "house" is pretty... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Often I find that people define tone as pleasant coloration. When you examine how a speaker is made and all of the specifics of this design, you can usually predict very accurately how this speaker will sound. A perfect example for me would be Har... | |
| Anyone hear Vivid Audio Speakers? Considering Vivid Giya G1 Series 2 from Magico S5 MKII To me a major advantage of any speaker is if the design has a sealed enclosure. People that think that ported and to a lesser degree transmission lines have better bass need to take a look at what is really going on with the speaker and then think... | |
| 5687 Tube Suggestion Most think that the old stock Tung Sols are best. There are several variations all of which are good, but I dont know which is considered best. | |
| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? I had the cones under a component and also under a pair of older Kharma speakers. Wasnt much of a fan. I agree with geof in that I think the shape was wrong for many applications. I have never found a one size fits all solution in this realm, howe... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? Here we go again. Put a fork in me. | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? brett,As glupson said my comments werent an attack. Perhaps it is a West Coast thing, as opposed to the Midwest where we tend to let others tell us if we are making the world a better place. I am glad you are proud of what you do and happy in your... | |
| Worth of current system Retail price of my system is over 100K. I paid about 45K and I have still room for improvement. Only inexpensive analog front end for now so when it is time to get serious about this you can add another 10 to 15K. As an enthusiast, you only know w... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? brett,Well unless you tell me what this work is I cant judge and you will not get any props. Pretty tall order making the world a better place, I find it strange that you would feel the need to share that with us. I usually find those that make th... | |
