| 6SN7 variants circa 2019 - tone, longevity, reliability, value I have not tried the CV 181 tubes. | |
| 6SN7 variants circa 2019 - tone, longevity, reliability, value There are a fair number of Atman-Sphere amp owners among us, so I thought it might be good for me to add my observations regarding 6SN7s to those of @luisma above. The M-60s require 4 6SN7 tubes per channel, with one of the 4 positions requiring ... | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? @mahler123. Agree on the Gergiev LSO sonics. Since the thread started I've picked up 3 and 6 Haitink/Chicago. Great sonics, decent performances, especially the 3rd. I have high standards on the third, having heard Welser-Most at Severance Hal... | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? @schubert . Len, I picked up the Fisher 4. Struck me as good but not great. Still like Solti on 4 though it is not great sonically. What would you say are Fishers best Mahler efforts. The next time you miss on a recommendation will be the fi... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @gestalt, thanks for making your presence known. I live within 3 hours of Nashville and have a strong interest in the Amber and possibly the GA. I may get in touch after the holidays. I'd love to hear both of the Lampi Dacs. | |
| Lampizator Big7 as a preamp I've also given consideration to trying a Lampi with volume control in order to eliminate the need for a preamp. I'm going to need a balanced design, because I'm driving long (9M) ICs. Any of you folks got a balanced unit, or are you using SEs w... | |
| Congratulations Atmasphere! The first rule of avoiding patent challenges is to say as little as possible about the invention after the patent issues. So I won't ask any questions, because if I were Ralph, I wouldn't say anything the patent doesn't say. But I do wish to off... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? This or a similar question appears on the forum with regular frequency. It makes for good reading every time. I hear what you are saying. I agree that the majority of digital rigs, even ones that are quite expensive, struggle to produce the ma... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates I keep reading this thread and just keep shaking my head in amazement. What I see is a large number of folks who have been very pleased with their interactions with Ralph and/or their experiences with Atma-Sphere products. My goodness, if this w... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but no amount of vinyl is going to fix an untreated room that is perilously close to a perfect cube. Fortunately, these two solutions are not mutually exclusive. But everything in its proper order. @dep14 off... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage @eag618, I suggest you spend a good bit of time taking a look at the Realtraps website. You will find a wealth of information on room and system set up and acoustics. Also really useful tools.http://realtraps.com/info.htmGIK Acoustics has some... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage A number of people have mentioned room treatments. I agree. In an untreated room with those dimensions, you are going to have a confused mess from early reflections that really frustrate any attempts at achieving your goal. I spent a lot of m... | |
| GIK Room Treatment Questions and Advice for Magnepans @noble100, I took a look at your member info and found you live in Noblesville. Funny, my old house was in Castleton. We moved to Tennessee for retirement in 2014. Nice seeing the Browns actually win a game every once in a while. Its been a... | |
| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? From 1990 until 2014 I owned SMGa, 1.7 QR, and 3.7R. What I loved most was the ribbon tweeter in the 3.7. In my experience, no other tweeter can touch it in terms of extension while remaining utterly sweet. Overall the 3.7s were great speakers... | |
| GIK Room Treatment Questions and Advice for Magnepans I used a pair of 3.7's in a similar room for two channel only for years. My room was heavily carpeted and had a similar 5' opening on the rear left opening to the entrance foyer. Did you buy my old house? I have several recommendations before y... |
