| Upgrading my SET amplifiers? Pablo,My parents used to live in Palermo (BA), so I know Argentina pretty well.I'm glad you understood where I was coming from. I was speaking less about the ranking of equipment, and more about the potential downside of tweaking your current stat... | |
| Upgrading my SET amplifiers? Pablo,If you are very happy with your Wright's, I might suggest that you keep them until you're certain that your next amp purchase is indeed an upgrade for you. I've not heard everything on the market, but I have heard SET amps costing as much as... | |
| Want to experience tubed CDP? Jh20s,The tube change can be dramatic. As can the upgrade in power cord. Most used cords can be bought and sold for the same price if you decide it's not what you want. From my experience, I never heard the capability of the Jolida until I put a v... | |
| What sonic differences between 2a3, 211,300B & 800 One other thing I'll mention--as if you don't have enough to think about already, Tickfight:There is a company (Audio Mirror) whose DAC & preamp are getting some attention here, and in addition they build 40W 6C33C-based SET mono blocks that I... | |
| What sonic differences between 2a3, 211,300B & 800 That's really interesting, Danner. I've not had that same experience with respect to the soundstage of the 2A3 and 300B amps. I have found, however, that as I change amps--even now, between our 2A3 and 6C33C versions--I need to move the speakers i... | |
| What sonic differences between 2a3, 211,300B & 800 That definitely helps, Tickfight. I can certainly convey my impressions of the 2A3 and the 300B, having owned both. I am not familiar with the sound of the 211 or the 845. The other power tubes I have either owned or heard extensively are the KT88... | |
| What sonic differences between 2a3, 211,300B & 800 Tickfight, this may sound like a cop out of an answer, but this is like trying to describe the differences between skate, mackerel, albacore, and tilapia to someone who has not tasted fish. I don't mean that in a patronizing way. Rather, you are a... | |
| Power Cable for Exemplar 2900- Suggestions? Hi Dan,I've found grand improvements with several brands of upgraded cords. When I say improvements, I mean a greater sense of space, air, a midrange that invites you in by relaxing each of the instruments into their respective positions. The musi... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone I just had neck surgery on Monday, and I'm using my limited allotment of computer time to peruse the threads. I happened upon your post, Pat, and now I can lie back down with a smile on my face. You just have that effect on people.And J.D., I have... | |
| HELP Turning off the Left Brain Two things helped me in this regard:1) Assembling a system that sounds very consistent each time I listen to it. Not fussy, in other words; and 2) Listening to as much new music as possible. I find that I'm getting into the music more than into th... | |
| Best system for jazz? Anytime, Drew. I hope all is well with you,Howard | |
| Best system for jazz? That's certainly where I was going with my response as well. Larry, if your life can make room for Klipsch La Scala's, I highly recommend them. I think they benefit from a good subwoofer, but the midrange is glorious. For jazz & classical, the... | |
| What's your worst excuse for an upgrade PayPal might cancel my account for inactivity. | |
| Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener Rja, if your proctologist is messing with your cable, you might want to seek the advice of an attorney. | |
| Best system for jazz? Drew,Please take the time to come up for a visit. It's only an hour's drive, and I think a listen might add to the enjoyment of your search.Hope you can make it.Regards,Howard |
