| Try This With Your SS Amp @oddiofyl In the spirt of full disclosure, I just bought a pair of Hegel H30 mono blocks. Helgel has been the favorite SS amps I have owned in the past. Got a deal on the last 2 H30s the Canadain supplier had in inventory. With the new H30A a... | |
| Try This With Your SS Amp @oddiofyl Thanks. There's been about 25 posts and not one has gone political or abusive. Is it possible tube equipment could bring about world peace? 🤣 | |
| Try This With Your SS Amp Cool jazz? 😂 | |
| Try This With Your SS Amp @oddiofyl The two output tubes and the power tube are 845s | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO Just to be correct, I think these should be called the "Monster" amps? Afterall, Frankenstein was the Doctor, not the creation. 🤣 | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? Back in the 70’s, I had some cheap car speakers mounted in cardboard boxes. They sounded like crap But wait, after listening to nothing else for several weeks, they stared to sound pretty good. Was it the boxes? Was it all that weed? Hey, you ask... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them I have bought a couple MO Fi products. LP and CD. Can't see, or hear, what all the fuss is about. I have 40 year old vinyl that sounds every bit as good as the MO FI original masters re issue. Maybe if I upgraded my amps power cord it would al... | |
| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? +1 for the IsoAcoustics Gaia footers with Gaia carpet discs. Have used them on a couple different speakers with excellent results. The carpet discs have spikes that secure to the floor. The isolator feet sit on the discs and provide vibration c... | |
| How good does my system have to be to realize an improvement with cables? De Beers is now telling us that we should spend 2 months wages on a diamond ring. So doesn't it follow that we should now be spending 20% of our equipment value on cables? 😆 | |
| Its not vinyl Just finished listening to the remastered 50th anniversary re issue of Thick As A Brick. It came in the original British cover of a 12 page newspaper. Try cramming all that into your CD case. 🤣🤣🤣 | |
| To hot or not ??????????? The amp rating on the wall plug and breaker should have no bearing on your equipment. The voltage is the thing. The size of the breaker only regulates the total draw the line can provide. Your equipment will only take the power it needs and is ... | |
| Why not? Line up all the cables, do blind testing and publish the results. If there really is an improvement in sound, it should be apparent to all, or at least most. I suspect very few cable manufacturers will allow their feet to be held to the fire. | |
| "A life's quest - the Contendo II Horn speaker system is realized Looks like it's waiting to be mounted under a wing. 🤣 | |
| Ribbon Cables vs. Standard I have a set of XLO Signature 3-5.2 cables and a set of Silversmith Audio Fidelium Speaker Cables. I can't hear any difference between the two. Just my ears or is it just no difference between speaker cables once you spend a few dollars? The ma... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! These comparisons just make me laugh. With 10,000 (?) DACs on the market, who can pick a list of 10 and make the claim "these are the best". It's all pie in the sky until they start doing everything in a blind test. And even then I would want s... |
