| differences between tube and solid state designs Do your vocal cords sit in a big square wood box? Are they 6 feet high and made out of eletrified sheets of polymer? Do your speakers posses a full string section? Does a french horn run on magnets? No? How exactly, is it tainted? | |
| Carey SLI 80 vs. Cayin A88T vs. Primaluna PL2? None, sorry - definitely read opposing points of view, but never had a comparison listen of any kind. | |
| Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu That is primarily why I own a Spacedeck. Plus I like Tom Fletcher more. | |
| Carey SLI 80 vs. Cayin A88T vs. Primaluna PL2? I would probably look for a Cary here on 'gon after you audition - there are plenty of them floating around, mostly people like them so much they think they can do better (by moving up the Cary chain or decide to try their single ended amp the SEI... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? It's funny I drive a Nissan Infiniti G20 w/the SRDET engine - sure enough, I'm in for a check up at the mechanic and I say hey, the breaks are squeaking and he said the same thing people say about SVX - did you change out to the Brembos yourself? | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Has anyone read the article in one of the hi-fi mags this month that asks: can audio ever really sound "real"? I haven't yet. It seems that the answer is probably that it can sound "true", but based on the fact that it is standing in for another c... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs I agree - mostly I think it's that tubes have become more able to deal with low sensitivity speakers because many of the better tube designers are incorporating their own transformer designs/windings, and using certain materials which were not as ... | |
| Carey SLI 80 vs. Cayin A88T vs. Primaluna PL2? Well, they're all nice, but do you have a source component and a pair of speakers in mind? It's all kind of relative; they all are quality amps. I would say the Cary is most overview gestalt of the three, the Cayin is the most cuddly muscially, an... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? So when did you change out the breaks on your svx? Great car, btw. | |
| How much does your system retail for? Cool site actually: westegg.com/inflation/if you want to see how much you vintage gear would cost now.You want to know why I hate people who name drop about VAC or BAT or whatever on 'gon? Take a look - it tells you how meaningless their $75,000. ... | |
| Tube Pre-amp for Levinson 432 Why not something made br pro people like Manley or Ear? | |
| NY Manhattan "New LP's Japon IMPORT Store"? If you want good vinyl you got to come to the better (left, holy, west) coast... | |
| Most PRACTICAL, yet good sounding REEL to REEL ??? I've seen several Tascams at local junk shops and have always had the best luck with them. Badluck with Revox. I've never used a Tandberg or Akai, although I have heard good things about the latter. The TEAC's are ok as far as reliability, but the... | |
| Are some tracks impossible to track? That's two votes for dialing down, and I agree about a bubble level - no reason to get the $99. Clear Audio; just pick one up at Home Depot like I did for $3.99. which incidentally will be smaller aka less forgiving of a slant, plus it will sit on... | |
| Best movies last two years Actually I thought the grotesquerie of "Sin City" became it's own sort of poetry - I also really loved the graphic novel and it was surprising to me how "true" the film felt to it. Mickey Rourke is one of the all time most underrated actors: "Pope... |
