| Your definition of soundstage Listens2tubes, I don't have enough experience with room treatment to argue your point but wouldn't that mean a change in speakers would also need a significant change in room treatment?Der, a fun cd if you like Jerry Gonzalez is Y Los Pirates Del ... | |
| Your definition of soundstage Thanks for the interesting and informative responses. I agree with what has been said and continue to learn from you all daily.My real re-interest in soundstage stems from a demo back when the Devore Nines came out. I owned the Super 8 at the time... | |
| B&W Speaker Boxes - Advice Don't do it! I would pay 10% more for a speaker if it is properly packed for shipping. If you ever decide to go for the 803d, and you might, you will regret selling the boxes.Put them in the attack or hang them in an upper corner of the garage wit... | |
| Using an herbal vaporizer around hi-fi equipment Send me an ounce to examine. I will "study" it and get back to you. | |
| Anyone tried Quantum Resonant Technology? Krell_man, did you use the QX4 with the Resonant Tech QB4 or QB8? I've heard that this combination is necessary to get the best results. Some also plug the Thor into the QB unit. Have not tried this $$$ combo. Ozzy, I can't keep the models straigh... | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks You are wasting your time trying to be efficient with your stereo. The average system I've seen around here costs maybe $20 per month. Try to get the whole house off the grid and you will do some justice.Solar thermal heating with massive concrete... | |
| New JJ KT77 I just put a pair of Genelex Golden Lion KT77's in my VAC Avatar integrated. It's been less that 20 hours but my initial impression is very positive. I agree with what Kiteflier said, better extension on both ends. They may have better clarity tha... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? I just read more of the thread and see you are not interested in tubes. Sorry, but you have a novel, if not, a long short story going on Agon at this point ;-)Get the Luxman, get the Verity's, report back. It's a big investment so on the other han... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? The m800a is a fine amp and would be real nice with the Verities. Have you thought about going the used tube route and getting something like an ARC ref 110 and ls26 pre? Close on $$$ and this is a very nice combination with the Parisfal. ARC is a... | |
| Amp for Totem Forest I had a pair of Forests when I was transitioning amplifiers, so I tried them with the MA6300, Cayin A88, and Plinius 8200.My favorite of the 3 was the McIntosh because it had more life with the Forest than the Plinius. The A88t was weak in the low... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Talked to a tube guy named Jim about it and he says they will be fine. I'm going to give them a try. Will post follow up. Thanks again for the support guys. | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Seems like the GGL KT77 might be the tube of choice. Can the KT77 be used in an amp that runs in either ultralinear or triode, like the VAC Avatar or the Manley amps? I thought I saw somewhere that it is designed for ultralinear use. This confused... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Also, which has a deeper 3 dimensional soundstage, the Siemens or the Golden Lion?Thanks. | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Tommy, thanks for your description. I read your post and did some more reading on the KT77 and it sounds like a great tube.You mention the highs on the KT77 being between the SED and the Siemens. Does this mean the Siemens had more detailed highs?... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Ajackson1, thanks, I am looking for something a little faster and cleaner than the SED for my current setup. Any comparison on the G. Lion vs the Siemens, or another tube recommendations? |
