| EL-34s New issue Mullards vs. Teslas To me, the Teslas sound best in the Mini-Mites, but they are not reliable in my experience (1 sparked and imploded in a blaze of blue and orange glory, and I've had 2 arc)...never again. Also, the JJE34Ls are crap FYI/no QC. | |
| What is "low ball" Lowballers on A-gon assume that the seller does not know the value of the item, which doesn't happen too often with this group. Lowballers are NOT trying to be savvy shoppers, rather shoppers trying to get away with an ignorant and/or financially ... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? Yes, you will very likely die. In 1987, my cousin burst into flames when he plugged in his ungrounded Technics TR19 tape deck. The manual clearly warned the user about this, but he was one of those "I don't need the manual" types. Don't become a s... | |
| Where to put my new power cable? Err, you might get some answers you don't want on this one. | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows I feel your pain. At a recent performance of Brahms' 2nd, a guy behind me's phone rang. He 1] answered like a *&^%$ idiot and 2] proceeded to confirm a doctor's appointment for the next day. It took EVERY ounce of strength for me not to climb ... | |
| Bose Accumass EQ Handyman, you have clearly lost your way with your Bose purchase. We are here to help...help you put them on the bay as quickly as you can. | |
| Tom Waits Bad? I heard Waits live at the Fox Theater in Atlanta a few years ago and it was absolutely spellbinding...really. The energy he and his band created was unlike anything I've ever experienced...no hate here. | |
| What's the best pre-amp to use with the Acurus I had an A80 paired briefly w/an Aud Illusion M3, and it produced a transparent soundstage that blew my mind...truly three dimensional and DEEEEP. However, it was a bit too bright in the upper end, which was the Acurus. You might try a CJ or Cary.... | |
| Hello, I may have a chance to go to Interesting dilemma. I would call your local dealer and ask or do some on-line research. I am sure that it's a simple answer that anyone w/some basic engineering knowledge would know...and have fun in japan :) | |
| How to choose cables for my system Extavoganza's "if you want more bass, try thicker cables and interconnects" is completely bogus. Get some used Audioquest (or Best Buy/Radio Shack) within your budget and you'll be completely happy. | |
| guitar solos where less is more Check out David Gilmour Live at Royal Albert Hall (DVD) (2-disc)...very tasty w/o flash. I would also say Vince Gil takes a similar approach, though his songs are a wee bit different than Gilmour's. | |
| Have $3000...what would you buy? 85 tickets to the symphony? | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical Oh my...this doesn't sound familiar. | |
| looking for advice on bookshelf speakers A simple option to smooth and lessen treble energy, without the pain of experimenting with costly component changes, is an equalizer. It may not be audiophile accepted, but who cares if it helps you listen. You might check out dbx models readily a... | |
| Tweeter replacement Stanwal is right...will probably mess up driver integration. BUT, you might want to try it if it's a simple swap out. If it sounds better, hey, why not. |
