| 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... | |
| Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured? Do you love your mother and father? Prove it. | |
| What sonic qualities connects to you deeply and emotionally? Lyrics like those in "No Time To Cry" by Iris Dement. Just about my favorite musical technique is the bassist playing inversions (playing not the root note of the chord being played by the piano, but one of the other notes in the scale of the key... | |
| A ridiculously cheap cable riser. @1971gto455ho: I wouldn't dream of arguing your points (lifting cables off the floor may be for those looking for the last 1% their system is capable of). I brought the High Chair to the attention of Audiogon members after seeing how close in stru... |
