| Need speaker cable I bought a pair of speaker cables from a guy Bill on this site that makes them. Can’t recall his moniker but they’re nicely terminated and sound great. They’re not as transparent as the Nordost Frey 2 that they replaced but they were like $300. I’... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? I wouldn’t use a Chinese product as a boat anchor if I could help it. I don’t want to get into all the reasons- I know there are good people everywhere - just helps me breath easier. Sometimes it’s nearly impossible to avoid, I understand that- ... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 vs 3400 Have you heard either, or any amps in the category? I tried the 2170 after the rave reviews from the threads on the audio sites. I should say that trying gear out is part of the hobby and fun for me. I should have stuck with my gut that most o... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! We have Chain Pickerel in Mass, similar to Pike and Musky. I'm not familiar with Walleye but they very much resemble the salt water Striped Bass but are not closely related. I can't tell you in if a cable has 200 hundred or 800 hours on it but I... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? I went with monitors on stands and they took up the exact footprint as the floor standers. Next you are adding 2 subs to take up additional space and trying to integrate them properly. That can be a challenge but can work fine. Now I I have flo... | |
| Nordost Red Dawn 2 I've had many pair of Nordost Cables. At points I've had full looms of Frey 2 and Valhalla 2. The way they fold them over at the termination makes me scratch my head. As tablejockey said, they need to be adjusted. IMO Nordost makes good produc... | |
| Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d Anyone hear the F35 from Black Ice Audio, Jolida Company. With how attractive it is it must sound good. 🤪 | |
| 300B SET or EL34 SET Plga just curious which class d amp is blown away by the LM tube amp? My experience has been less than positive with class d. Even super quality high priced class d amps like SPEC tend to get less play time in my setup. Mastersound makes a nice ... | |
| Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated I would listen to the Lack of response regarding the Lyngdorf. It was a hit a few seasons ago but I know several of the people that spoke highly of them have sold them off. I found the 2170 to be dull and contrived and was never drawn to music w... | |
| Funny Story Great story thanks for sharing. Go slowly and be careful, until you hook them up! | |
| Devore Nines and amp match The 15 watts or so of the Leben 300 lacked some bass definition but if your trying to raise the roof with trance music and EL 84’s you’ve got other issues :)IME if I can use an amp rated at 10-20 watts in triode most of the time and switch to 20-4... | |
| Devore Nines and amp match I have a pair of Nines that I enjoy with tubes and solid state. I would recommend 20 plus watts. I’ve used them with a Leben 300 and the sound was amazing but I found the combination slightly underpowered for a medium sized room. Every amp I’ve... | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing This might be a little off topic but if heat becomes an issue, you can try positioning an electric leaf blower in one corner of the room to move air. | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) Love the two things every audiophile has—phenomenal hearing and a great sounding system! I would recommend simplifying and trying A few different types of tube integrateds over time. Maybe rolling tubes after you find something you really like. C... | |
| Amps with meters ... The thread about this thread is much better. |
