| BAT vs. Quicksilver The Quicksilver Triode monoblocks run a 12AX7 and a 12BH7 tube, so it cost me about $150 total for NOS versions of both types. A quad of 6C33C tubes can be had for under $80, so retubing these amps is a pittance when compared to the pricing of the... | |
| BAT vs. Quicksilver As Jax2 mentioned, we do have the Quicksilver Triodes, and absolutely love them. They have a purity and musicality to them that is startling. Given that Mike Sanders does not advertise them (or any of his products, for that matter), none of the $5... | |
| Walker Audio Extreme SST Well Tvad, if she took over from there, I wish you many happy returns. | |
| Insurance salesmen and audiophiles "That's a cool name, kinda mysterious sounding, almost poetic."You told him your Audiogon name? C'mon Nrchy, you know the rules. | |
| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? Two audiophiles and two computers are all it takes to screw in a Cyberlight bulb. | |
| Walker Audio Extreme SST Tvad, ever sucked the poison out of a snake bite? Then I think you get the picture. | |

| Reviews with all double blind testing? That was YOU, Onhwy61? I couldn't see you through the cloud of doobage. Welcome aboard, bro. | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Onhwy61, your comments read like a racist expressing his disdain for the infusion of impurities into the master plan of audiophilia. I don't if you intended them to be so exclusive, but they struck me that way. It would be fair enough to say that ... | |
| Best Integrated All-tube Amp? I was going to mention Audion as well, as we had a Silver Night MKII (300B) integrated (with only one source input). Audion also makes the Sterling EL34 12W SET with remote. Gorgeous sounding amps, and yet the worst customer service I have ever ex... | |
| Best Integrated All-tube Amp? One more thing, Josep. As you alluded to in your initial post, you might upgrade your Antal's at some point. I'm sure you are aware that any amp, no matter how punchy in the bass department, is going to be challenged to deliver the goods to you wi... | |
| Best Integrated All-tube Amp? You could be better off--if you are willing--to expand your horizons into monoblocks. You will have more to choose from (Wright, Wellborne, etc.), and you could always use a Placette RVC (remote volume control), and spend considerably less than th... | |

| Spanish Harlem, by Rebecca Pidgeon, The Raven It sounds to me like either the piano player shifting on the bench, or the leg of a stool (same thing, really), which the bass player could be using. There is a similar sound at the beginning of the title song.Write Chesky and ask them. Then see w... | |
| Are parts still available for vintage Klipsch? Look on the forums at www.klipsch.com for member Bob Crites. Or you can usually find him by looking for these vintage Klipsch parts on eBay. Bob has a lot of these parts available. I have a pair of 1977 La Scala's with original drivers, so they do... |
