| 300b, x45, 211, etc. Interesting Glassaud, about the AES topologies. I use a Rocket, and have never had any clipping at 20w in triode. Maybe during a test of the system or something, but not in daily use (at least to notice while listening normally). It's the original... | |
| 300b, x45, 211, etc. Rchau - Are you talking about the guy at Taurus Audio in the Bay Area? What a *GREAT* room that is, as in *WOW*. And a cool guy too. The only system I've heard I liked as much was an Airtight (the KT88 one, I can never remember their designations)... | |
| 300b, x45, 211, etc. True, Greg. I should have been clearer. There are zero feedback SET's, but I think it's more of a "differential of the circuit" except in the case of direct heated tubes - or am I wrong about that? I do think, for all the noisiness of a direct hea... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood I was thinking of an halo/xbox scene in "Entourage".So why doesn't House have an amp for his Opera Piega's and Sota Cosmos on the show? I think we should put together a campaign: "Find Gregory House a decent amp." We should start a petition to get... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Are these in Ari's office or something? They had B&W's in the first house. | |
| 300b, x45, 211, etc. I agree with greg except for the feedback thing - plenty of variable feedback in tube circuits, depending. Lower than solid state, but not negligible. And interesting about the 1610. However, another thing besides low power to think about with say... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Grado PH-1 Preamp Is the Grado DC like their head amp? Should be ghost quiet, if so. | |
| Help Me Expand My Music Taste You could also try something like Charlie Parker's "Au Privave" which is basically Parker doing Gershwin, etc., with a few of his own stuck in. There are plenty of good albums like that by classic artists, and it's a great place to start if you ha... | |
| 300b, x45, 211, etc. I heard a Mastersound 845 with a pair of JM Labs and a Hyperspace that destroyed the Cary Rocket I own... but you won't find one for $2500. BAT would be a different direction, but better... I don't know. I like the Manley Stingray, but it's not qu... | |
| High End Integrated Choices The only thing I would worry about with the BAT supertube is being beholden to BAT and not having any swapping choices. But great integrated. Have considered the move myself. I would listen to the complete opposite end of that spectrum, something ... | |
| Favorite Tube Speaker Match It's funny how everyone has mentioned the paper vs. metal or kevlar debate. Or electrostat's/ribbons, although I guess it's not really applicable to what I'm about to ask. Which is: Why in the cone speaker debate does everyone leave out the differ... | |
| Pantode and Tetrode What is the difference? Actually if you have an old mom & pop style radio shack place or seriously old school drug store, you may be able to find a tube tester locally - I happen to have a place like that around, and just like back in the 40's and '50's you can take ... | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... Well, Sedond, I guess you proved me wrong: some people DO believe everything they read on the internet. | |
| Furthest reception from your tuner and how? Interesting; I hadn't considered the mountains and you could live up higher which would decrease your parallax and increase your range. ...so maybe 110/115 miles on a hill, looking at yahoo maps distances. Thanks. I agree, no way much further than... | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... I'm lucky enough right now to live in an area with 2 college radio stations, plus several local owned majors and a jazz station. It's a good deal; I had posted a thread trying to get someone to chime in with a farthest signal acquired (I'm leaving... |
