| Specs to look for when matching tube pre to SS amp Well I remember when I bought a Goldman Memesis3 they told me not to use it with a CAT pre; because of the dc-off-set---whatever the hell that refers to. Anybody comprende dc-off-set?? | |
| Tubes and heat... I live in sunny California---in the worst part of the SF Valley.(Chatsworth) I do have my summer-amp.--That be the Belles 150a---Barely warm after many hrs.of use. My #1 amp-s- the CJ 8xses.--(These are also suitable for indoor BBQ-ing,or just mak... | |
| 205D tubes. This tube comes in the Sophia Princess 845 amp.In my opinion this Sophia amp is a midrange-only,amp. With regards to any amp,tube or otherwise;it isn't only the tubes or devices used; it's the whole circuit design. | |
| $1000 to spend on an amp used I have a slight problem with this concept. A used 8/9 $$ amp only shines with a good front end and good speakers. I just don't think "this" 8/9 $$ amp, is going to elevate lesser quality items. I do think there are several 8/9 amps that will sing;... | |
| Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos? Being a member here,has given me an outlet. I can chat with members whom have the same value system.---I expect none from the outside to understand, nor do I encourage any understanding.--You know;leading the horse to water___.Now my friend has a ... | |
| Connecting to the music. I just bought a pair of MMs.--used and broken in--I'm cheap and lazy. I agree on some material I think I could use more bass. These connect me to the music more than any speaker I've owned. AU24; my wire of choice.A 15k front end don't hurt,either... | |
| Panny plasma Vs Comcast HDTV, HELP My Directv box has the aspect ratio button---which doesn't work for any so called "hd in 4.3". My tv itself allows me to stretch. Anyone concerned with burn-in needs to make sure you don't watch to much with black bars on the sides.---So it ain't ... | |
| Opinions, Is this better for the Members? I think when looking at someone's feedback;----HOW far back, is also important. Along with their participation in the forums.It all contributes. All in all, the 'new' is less flawed than the 'old'. | |
| Defy7 or Premier 140? I had a 7 mk4--Then on to the CJ 8xs- I guess I loved that el34 sound.Everybody has a different opinion.--Now you know mine. | |
| What's the better, High Powered SS Amp? Caution to Maurlman1 ---Just like at the titty bars; no touching the performers. OK, R we clear?? | |
| How Long Did it Take to Burn In a new piece? Autio;---Good one!!! So what'cha think?? 6 more?? The Celtic Silver spk.wires sounded painfully crappy for a week of 24/7. I guess the salt in the wound was reading this sellers--no breakin required--crap. | |
| tubes or no tubes I believe it depends on what tube amp and or; to go with what speakers. Right now as we speak I have 4 tube amps. They range from a little Sound Valves el34 stereo amp to the CJ8xs monos.Thrown in between, an Aeries g 845 pair.--Along wit 3 SS amp... | |
| DOA- do we need to redefine the 'A'? I think this was hammered out pretty good already. Then one must factor in getting beaten down on the price;and now you want buyer protection?? Get a life; buy from a dealer---see how they handle repairs on used equipment.Been there done that. The... | |
| Classical music - starting points I guess I started out with the Willam Tell and the 1812.Most all Rossini overtures esp.the Theiving Magpie are all pretty good places to start. The Emperor is my fav Beethoven piano concherto.--The slow movement is sublime.Just about all the Mozar... |
