| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? Fantastic sources of information, thanks @jjss49 (and everyone else). | |
| Poll: Most impactful component 1- The source material, of course. 2- The speakers and room (the two are inseparable). | |
| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? @tomcy6: Yep, my copy is on its way, will be here next week! | |
| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? Wow.....ask, and ye shall receive. ;-) Thanks again, one and all. @oddiofyl: Roger Modjeski talked about the virtues of the 6922/6DJ8 for audio use----specifically in regards to phono pickup applications, and it’s advantages over the 12AX7 (see t... | |
| A ridiculously cheap cable riser. @gillsysb: If you somehow get a static charge on the High Chair's (my first memory is of sitting in a high chair, watching my Mom iron in the kitchen. The ironing board was one of those that folds down out of the wall, hidden behind a small "door"... | |
| Tune of the Day "Goin’ Down To Sing In Texas" by Iris DeMent, found on her new album Workin’ On A World. The first thing I heard was the wonderful combination of piano and Hammond B3 organ/Leslie speaker, along with brush-played drums and what sounds like an upri... | |
| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? Thanks a lot everyone. Lots of great info, and links to sources of even more. I have a box full of the small signal tubes I bought back in the 90’s, gotta look through it again. I know I have some 7308’s (Gold Aero iirc), 6922 Amperex’s I believe,... | |
| Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured? @tylermunns@ I borrowed the idea from a scene between Matthew McConaughey and Jodie Foster in the movie Contact. | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? @onhwy61: What you say is true of contemporary Classical recordings, but not of recordings made in the 1950’s and 60’s; all of those were recorded on a 2-track or 3-track machine (that’s all there was back then). Lots of recordings made in England... | |
| 45 Singles You Just Had to Buy The non-LP B side of The Dwight Twilley Band's "I'm On Fire" 45 is a smoldering hot Rockabilly song named "Did You See What Happened?" If you want a copy there's one listed on Amazon right now, priced at only $193.00. ;-) | |
| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? Great info, thanks one and all. | |
| A ridiculously cheap cable riser. @rfnoise: Ah, I see what you mean: the ho is for high output not horsepower, the 455 the displacement. My small block is of course a 350, and that in a heavy SUV like the Tahoe is akin to using a 25 watt amplifier with a pair of Maggies. ;-) | |
| New In 2023 Out tomorrow (Friday, May 19th): Thomas Lauderdale Meets The Pilgrims. Lauderdale is the leader of Pink Martini, and collaborating with him on this album are the Surf band Satan’s Pilgrims. Both are Portland, Oregon residents. I just heard about ... | |
| New In 2023 @fsonicsmith1: Yep Rock is one of my favorite labels. In addition to those you mentioned, also on the label are The Minus 5 (they opened for NRBQ when I saw them awhile back. Steve Berlin of Los Lobos joined both bands on stage), Kim Richie, Los S... | |
