| Why Purchase used tubes? Joe's Tube Lore is an excellent guide, though I have found quite a few tubes to vary from his descriptions, depending upon the component used. In two different amps, for example, the Mullard 2493 (6922 equivalent) sounded much more balanced and to... | |
| neuance expectations I have one for our SS amp, had two made for tube monoblocks (which I generally use under the CDP now), and one for a preamp. Three of us were listening the other day, auditioning a new amplifier. After about an hour, we agreed it sounded very good... | |
| neuance expectations I've not used a Neuance with a TT, but with other components, it has made a remarkable difference. They help quiet the interfering noise transmitted by a vibrating component, and the music goes from sounding anchored to being lively and dance-like... | |
| Anyone settled in on Purist Aqueous interconnects? I've been using them for about a year, both the IC's and the speaker cables. The IC's have exactly the same sonic qualities as the speaker cables. I'd tried many different IC's (Cerious, Analysis Plus, Audience, Nirvana, Harmonic Tech Cyberlights,... | |
| musical fidelity sound? I've heard the entire line-up, and I would agree with Eldarado. Not harsh, not offensive, but dry. Artificial is the word that comes to mind. When I hear MF gear, I hear hi-fi, not music. As you can see, opinions differ...so, you will want to hear... | |
| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? OTOH, I have to admit that I am used to slightly different tube amps than the ones you describeAre you speaking primarily of your designs, Ralph? I'm really intrigued to hear them, as listener comments have only been favorable. | |
| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? Andre74,Of the tube preamps we've tried, we like the Lamm LL2 Deluxe most. It is not for the analytical listener, in my opinion, because you distinctly hear the music and not signature of the component. Reviewers describe it as organic sounding, a... | |
| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? At the risk of being accused of picking a fight with God, I respectfully disagree, Atmasphere. :-)We have paired our Klipschorns with quite a few different amplifiers (Quicksilver, Audion, George Wright, McIntosh, Art Audio, etc.), both tube and S... | |

| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2007 Volvo XC70 Cross CountryIt has all available mods (including rubber floor mats), a certifiable Hummer killer, replicates the driving experience with a 'you are there' palpability, smokes anything up to 5x the price, albeit with ultra low emis... | |
| Your music system is an instrument. Any ideas for a new name? How about "Anal-B"?!That killed me, Marco!Here's another for the suggestion box: Colonicare. | |
| Your music system is an instrument. Which end Boa?Depends on whether it's pleasure or maintenance. | |

| One hum problem solved, another remains I've heard that analog CATV lines are often the cause of this kind of thing. When I get home I intend to disconnect the CATV feed to see if it goes away.Sounds like a very good idea.If it was coming from the amp, it should increase in volume with ... | |
| One hum problem solved, another remains If the hum is loud, it may be a grounding issue. I've solved a few with 3-into-2 cheater plugs, usually on an amplifier. If it is low level (sounds more like it from your description), I would gently check the IC connections, as well as power cord... |
