| Pantode and Tetrode What is the difference? Don't worry about the forum thing too much. If in fact you are looking for advice that's that technical let me add something about pushpull and triode v. ultralinear. B/c of the suppressor grid on the EL34, you could say that usually it sounds bet... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Grado PH-1 Preamp Almost any 70's era integrated will supply you with a far superior phonostage, if there's no drift in caps. Grado uses a few special tricks, and I hear many more good things about it than Lehman, although I know 6 moons liked it. And as recent vic... | |
| Pantode and Tetrode What is the difference? KT88's often are described as clearer and more linear, pentodes like an EL34 or something, are often described as warmer or lusher. If you bought the amps new, you should have them replace the tubes. You shouldn't have to pay. If you don't have in... | |
| Furthest reception from your tuner and how? I think some of the basic info is good, especially about DIY - I'm not out to get them or anything, but I find other people quoting them "like the bible of tuners says...", and it's not. All audio clubs have biases and I happen to think a useful s... | |
| Furthest reception from your tuner and how? I just hate fmtunerinfo; "if it's not Kenwood, it's crap" seems to be their motto. Plus, the problem with modding tuners these days like on fmtunerinfo is that as HD radio is encroaching on the low-rez bands, it's getting harder to do a good mod w... | |
| Furthest reception from your tuner and how? Arrrrggggggghhhh... obviously someone who missed my post in "the best tuner" thread... | |
| Furthest reception from your tuner and how? I know it's all relative, but I'm looking for someone to answer my question about earth coverage distances and gain sensitivity. Does anyone know the formula for FM/Earth coverage based on parallax, and antenna height? Or where I might find it? In... | |
| Furthest reception from your tuner and how? Hmmm... sounds like maybe people were pushing the truth a bit when they were saying they were in Eugene and picking up Portland and Seattle stations? | |
| Best movies last two years You know, I usually hate Ron Howard films, but I have to admit Cindarella Man is the one I have enjoyed the most since Gung Ho. Have I said how nice it is to see people posting foreign films on here? I thought I was the only one. | |
| Furthest reception from your tuner and how? I know, I know... the internet would work, but... I guess I should have said that I am interested in a high quality analog tuner, but I'm *not* looking for which tuner is "best". I already have a couple in mind.I know there are several people in t... | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... My post was for Sean. No; I didn't just scan the FM Tuner Info site. It seems to have more or less spawned out of a local radio club's tuner shootouts, and the guys as well as the tuners are the same vintage. Baselines are biased, when they appear... | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... About Sean's post up there... I agree with everything. And also: "fm tuner info" is one of the great white elephant websites of all time. I like Kenwood tuners, but there are plenty of good tuners out there, and if you look at the site, what you s... | |
| Favorite Non-Major Record Label I'm gonna add Kill Rock Stars - everything I've heard off that label out of Washington has been pretty ok. | |
| Tube Pre-amp for Levinson 432 You know, hyper-detail is not necessarily synergy. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Only dorks like nines of any type better three five sixes, and even then you gotta go pre tee two. |
