| How would you rate your listening room? Jazzcatlewis; I got two closets bigger than that...... Just kidding. Garfish, If you put your room in the classified,give me first crack at it! No haggling/ will cod be ok? I have a C -"room",/ Borderline class D. One of those L-shaped nightmares.... | |
| What tubes are you using;CJ Prem.5 Thanks indeed Fonsy. Mine must be in great shape. I can't believe how it walks over my newly re tubed Def.7 Mid to top end just as you describe. Sure sounds like the 500 mod is money well spent.We also agree on the sound of these two tubes. In the... | |
| What tubes are you using;CJ Prem.5 Fonsy,How much $$, how much turnaround time?? I figure 400 in shipping each way,from CA.,so I may have someone local do the IEC thing, for starters.Most important; what brand of tubes? Do you agree with my assesment on the tubes I have? Thanks for... | |
| Classics and Cults. Bogus Journalism? Lesson 101 in marketing.Well at least we understand what factors /and how they contribute to the selling price.No wonder they(mfgs) have to do the major "suck-up" to the audio press.You may have the greatest mousetrap in the world,but people have ... | |
| 24/96 Transports If it outputs 24/96 it's not a transport/ It's a "player" | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Mr drubin: I guess "both",but who wants their shortcomings pointed out to them?(nobody I know) Mr Dittli,yes the mags like to tweak us;and yes we must listen for ourselves/with our own equipment.This is not a firing squad/ must we be blindfolded? | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Oh,I forgot/ the last test I took: I studied for hours on end. I only got a C- on my urine test. Sorry, I just want to poke some fun here. I don't think listening to music has to be that complicated. Yes, I have room treatments, power cords,isolat... | |
| Heavy Metaller needs some class ical . I may have a different take on how one changes/intakes/ different types of music. Ok,much of my "new,life- style" changes were/are tied to other outside influences. Say for an example you met a new friend,who played the piano/fell in love with som... | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Well,I was trying to get Ray Charles;or Stevie Wonder to come over but they had plans.Listening is so subjective; what care I if someone likes "this" over "that"? Most of "my" listening is done while I'm here. No "head in a vise" for me. I wished ... | |
| Any good suggestions for phono cable? I have the vpi jr. I have the cardas termination block,so I can use any standard rca ic. I have the XLO SIG 3.1 cable. You break this in on your cd player/to pre amp(much higher voltage). After 6 days on repeat it is well broken in. Then you use i... | |
| RCA vs XLR I'm generalizing,but most equipment only sounds best if you are balanced from source to amp.This refers to true balanced operation. Some pieces have bal,in or out for convience only. | |
| CAT Phono Stage I might be one of the few who had to disconnect the ground from the tt.You might try it w/ no volume. Also, is the hum in both channels? If it's only one channel;swap the right left ics. No other source has hum? Good luck. | |
| Threshold T200 sound quality? This was a great amp along with the 10/te(similar) pre amp. How it compares to todays stuff----well at the price and you didn't have to use a gun--go for it. | |
| help with absolute phase Many pre maker/designers do this. I saves one step the signal doesn't have to pass thru,within the pre. You just reverse the leads going to speakers themselves. The bass will be dead center and stronger when you are in phase. |
