| EL-34: JJ Tesla or Electro-Harmonix? I recently went thru your exact situation and found the following:Tesla's: an unoffensive tube, evenly balanced, but just a hair lean in the midbassEH: Very lean, a sibilant bite in the mid treble, didn't make me want to listenSvet Winged C: Yes. ... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I'm sure both of these are fine speakers, but how do know that you will really like either one w/o having auditioned them? This could end up being a risky move IMO, as many have gone down this same path only to get burned. | |
| DIY Internal bracing for NHT 2.9 Don't do it. Narrod is right, as you'll simply be shifting the resonance to a higher frequency. If the resonance is too offensive, sell them. | |
| Energy damping or energy transfer? Cdc -- Clever. I've noticed, however, that doors tend to reflect light, thus making the system more bright. That's one reason I took the door off my system. | |
| Clear upgrade from 10T's? You might be hard-pressed to find a speaker that performs at its best that close to the wall. You might consider looking for a transmission line design from Spendor, Fried, or Carolina Audio. I think these are supposed to behave better near walls ... | |
| Stupid Bellari Q If the tube is not working, the unit should not be working. And some tubes give off more light than others. It's according to the size and placement of the filaments. | |
| Energy damping or energy transfer? What is dynamic coherence, and how do vibrations affect it? Thanks -- anyone. | |
| What Irish music will you be playing on St Pat's? Led Zepplin: I figured England isn't THAT far away. | |
| Elevating line conditioners.... Many people elevate them because it looks really cool. My personal take on the issue is a bit different, however. I pose that doing things like this can also act as a psychological counter to a personal deficit or to something one cannot control. ... | |
| Unusually good power cord for the money? The best cord is the one that came w/the component! "A fool and his money are soon parted." | |
| Where does your user name come from? a combination of the sophisticated "Bo" from ancient Southern folklore and the name of a man who helped my great-grandfather farm for 60 years. | |
| Anyone heard these? How do they sound? Yes, I've heard these at a Linn retailer in Charlotte, and I thought they sounded good hooked up to an all Linn system. They were dynamic and a wee bit lean in the bass/mid-bass, but nice. And they are a nice size -- medium -- and don't dominate a... | |
| Suggestions for Tower stereo speakers You might consider a pair of used Vandersteen 2Cs. They would best your current choices in every way. There is a ton of info on these. | |
| Energy damping or energy transfer? If you were to do a blind AB test w/a system using after-market damping and a system using the factory supplied rubber feet, I doubt you could tell the difference. Yes, TTs need damping, but IMO the magic cones, energy dispersion crystals, maple b... | |
| Tube amp recommendation for $1000 Check out the Quicksilver MiniMites (monos): 25 watts, accept a variety of tubes, are quiet, reliable, inexpensive to retube, and sound killer good. I own them and have been extremely pleased. |
