| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? Another plus for EL34, I think, is the Mullard reproductions that can go with them - not overpriced and sound great. | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? Yes - I agree with the statement KT88's are less polite. I listen to a lot of rock. The point I was making is about the Manley being based on EL34 - however, it is a good rocking out amp. I was just saying that it is a more polite tube by construc... | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? One thing about the KT88 which has not been mentioned is it's affinity with transients without having to add feedback. Although I love the Manley Stingray, it is less pure (bad "opinion-type" term) than my Cary Rocket. I find the Rocket almost sou... | |
| Anybody own Audio Experience Symphonies? There have been several threads relating the experiences of more high-end solid state guys trying this preamp and not getting it to work. There have been rumors this is b/c of a DC leak. I have talked to several people, along with the maker of the... | |
| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question Giant OTL's and large electrostats in a dedicated room connect via AC cleaned power, phase corrected, and with it's own switching terminal. That and carbon fiber, ceramic driver speakers to switch between. Oh yeah - and half a dozen different tone... | |
| How did you get into this hobby? I got into punk and was trying to find unusual import records and found they always sounded better - Japanese CD's and UK LP's. Bad turntable, bad move - I got rid of my records. Decided I couldn't live with CD's a few years later and threw out my... | |
| Tonearms for Nottingham Dais I would be curious to know if anyone has tried a friend's Graham Nightengale or 2.2. I have heard the Robin sounds great on the Horizon SE with a Dyna. | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood In Ghost World and in American Splendor characters listen to 78's. | |

| Two Tonearm Turntable: Need Suggestions Turns out it's not an unusual tube compliment, but it is RIAA, not 78 equalized. Damn. The tubes are 50B5 (amp) and 35W4 (rectifier). Apparently a very generic consumer circuit cross applied to many things from th late 40's through early 60's Anyo... | |
| Best versatile speakers? I agree the Paradigm's are great versatile speakers - and here I break with tradition: I watch as many movies as I spend time listening to music. I have an integrated two channel screening room/listening room and find that metal cones are better f... | |
| Match for Paradigm Monitor 7 v3? I have a Cary Rocket matched with my M.7's and their 10" sub out from the left extra set of RCA's on my preamp (for movies, etc). Very good match. Excellent staging - even better now with tubes. VERY loud at 20 watts. Even good for the most dense ... | |
| I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck Do what I did - buy a Michell dustcover from Needle Doctor for $100. Removable and sculpted to cover the platter and arm. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons I see... new to the crossover arguements. Wasn't sure what point the polarity was referring to. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Ok, not to be over the top, but if speakers are time coherent and each cone, if I understand correctly, is 180 degrees out of phase from the other, wouldn't a perfect set-up only work with bi-wiring, where you can flip one of the sets of wires for... |
