| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes SVS makes some nice rubber subwoofer feet that screw in to the bottom for around $49 a set. You can find them on Amazon, and they have thousands of great reviews. | |
| Have a tube that gets really bright when turned on and then dims quickly It is known as the "Mullard flash", and does not mean anything is wrong with the tube. Is it a Mullard 6922? | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? I will have to chime in here and also give a big thumbs up for the 1975 6N23P silver shield Reflector tubes. I have tried just about every 6922 out there over the past 30 years, and found them to be my favorite sounding variation. They even beat o... | |
| What happened to JW Audio? John passed away from cancer about a month ago. | |
| $1500 tube amp for La Scalas? You might wish to consider a Coincident Dynamo EL34SE MkIII integrated, priced below $1,500 new with shipping included. Nice sounding amp at that price point. | |
| Sony SACD Player SCD-XA5400ES; YAY or NAY? The 5400 is a fantastic player all around. They are no more notorious for laser problems than other CD players. They also do not “upscale" your CD's to SACD, as the member soix mentioned. | |
| Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k Pass Labs INT-25. | |
| What are we going to do about Tele 12AU7 prices I agree with ghasley1. Telefunken is not known for their great 12AU7 tubes at all. They are nothing special to my ears. Telefunken did make some amazing sounding 6922's and 12AX7's however. Look for a nice pair of Amperex long plate 12AU7's for... | |
| New speaker consideration - De Capo MM Your 350 w.p.c. solid state muscle amp is certainly overkill when it comes to the De Capo speakers. I have owned 3 pairs of them, and currently own the Reference 3A Episodes, which use the same drivers. The De Capos have always sounded their best ... | |
| Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000) You stated that you like to listen loud. Even with a strong amplifier, the LRS may not be the best choice for you in an 11 x 21' room. | |
| What would happen when you under Bias your tubes? I would think that 70% bias that you suggested is too low to get the intended sound that the manufacturer intended you to get. Yes, your output tubes may last longer, but what good will that do if it does not sound better that way? Listen to a fam... | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? Primare I-30 or I-20 integrateds have the sound you are looking for. | |
| Sub matching...REL with Klipsh The REL T7i should be a great match for a room your size. They should run pretty flat to around 30hz in that space. Your speakers are quite efficient, but the T7i should have enough gain to match them. Your speakers by themselves should be able to... | |
| Ceramic fuses Hello Ricey:I am familiar with the gold and rhodium plated fuses you mentioned which are made by Littlefuse. The gold plated ones sound better than the rhodium plated ones. Unfortunately, they don't sound much better than standard glass fuses, jus... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant 15........ I agree with jim204. Give it a week of active use so it can settle down in the system. I once purchased a conditioner that sounded quite terrible in my system for the first three days, and on the fourth day, it suddenly changed and started soundin... |
