| Best type of Sub to consider? ajant---Yes! And that is a very good idea, one which Danny Richie himself has done when showing at RMAF (where the OB/Dipole Sub was voted "Best Bass At The Show" multiple years in the recent past), using the OB’s in the front of the room and F12G... | |
| A higher level than Mullard in tube quality? When I spoke with Tim de Paravicini (EAR-Yoshino designer) at the 2015 Newport Show, he told me the old Mullards were his favorite tube brand. I don't know whether or not he does his designing with Mullard tubes installed in his circuits. | |
| Chuck Berry passed away today.... Damn, Willie Dixon! I never got to see him, but I did Big Joe Turner, backed by The Blasters when Lee Allen (on tenor sax) was in the band. Lee played in Little Richards band in the 50's. There's a only a few of the originals left, gotta seen 'em ... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? Geoff is SO right about the stock perforated metal screens on the 57---horrid things. Jerry Crosby (known for his QUAD 63 mod) at one time made a replacement for it, with much larger holes and much less resonance. | |
| Chuck Berry passed away today.... The documentary and filmed concert Keith did for Chuck, "Hail, Hail, Rock ’n’ Roll", is well worth watching. Chucks original pianist Johnnie Johnson was still living at the time, and is in the band Keith put together for the concert, which also in... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? If a pair of low-watt Pass amps are too rich for your blood, the old Bedini 25/25 is considered one of the all-time best ss amps for the Quad. They show up from time to time, the last one I saw selling for $795 here on Audiogon. | |
| Chuck Berry passed away today.... Only two of the original Rock 'n' Rollers left standing---Little Richard and Jerry lee Lewis. Long may they run! | |
| KT-88 vs. EL34 Modjeski designed his RM-9 specifically for use with the EL34 (four per channel for 100w/per in the Mk.1, 125/per in the Mk.2), his RM-200 for the KT88 (two per channel for 100w/per at 8 ohms, more at 4!). But the 200 can also be run with KT-120’s... | |
| Ry and Evan That’s what I thought when I first learned of that scene jafant. You know who else came out of it? It’s unbelievable! Bo Diddley, Patsy Cline, Ralph Stanley, The Carter Family, Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, John Fahey, John Sebastion, Zal Yanovsky... | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 Jim, Rythmik Audio has two sealed subs featuring dual 8" woofers, the F8 and FM8. The only difference between them is the FM was designed to be used as a mid-bass woofer, it’s x/o to a lower-frequency sub being 4th order at 50Hz. Both operate up t... | |
| Are there any $1500 tube preamps that that can compare with Tubes4hifi's SP14? harrylavo is most likely referring to the Music Reference (rather than Musical Reference) RM-9 amplifier, a very-well regarded EL34 based amp. Roger Modjeski of Music Reference is making custom pre-amps now, so you might want to check with him to ... | |
| KT-88 vs. EL34 Roger Modjeski of Music Reference and RAM Tube Works had for quite a while a forum on AudioCircle. On it he discussed tube amplifier design, tubes themselves, and the relationship between tube circuits and the performance characteristics of specif... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 - 3.7i owners need help please sfrounds---Bi-amping of the 3.6 is not, as you experienced, best done digitally. Fortunately it doesn’t have to be. First Watt makes an excellent, moderately-priced non-digital active electronic crossover (the B4, designed and built by Nelson Pass... | |
