| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. This looks like a real find. Driving a speaker with a 6SN7 is mind boggling. When and where can we see your review, teajay? | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. I'll bet this guy thinks all rectifier tubes sound the same. I packed my turntable away in 1985, and have been listening to digital ever since. So I am hardly biased against digital. But there are plenty of people around here who could ace a ... | |
| Rectifier Tubes I have a deep respect for those who have electrical engineering backgrounds. They bring so much to this forum! I do not have a background in electrical engineering, so I tend to make judgments based on empirical evaluation rather than first pri... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados As an add on to Len's comments above regarding Heinrich Schutz, I'd like to recommend the Ars Nova Copenhagen recordings on deCapo. There is a boxed set of the Johannes, Lukas, and Matthias Passions, along with the Christmas and Resurrection his... | |
| Herbie's Audio Lab I recently made a purchase from Herbie's, and dealt with Robert who was very responsive when I had some questions. Not only was he quick to reply, but his answers were very insightful and revealed he had a firm understanding of the underlying sci... | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. Uberwaltz, Don't you hate it when that happens? You bring something in for an audition and you end up keeping both, because both are really good at what they do, and what each piece uniquely does is something you can't bring yourself to do witho... | |
| Am I the only one who loves french horns? I pay particular attention to reproduction of French Horns when auditioning new equipment. I have found that a piece of equipment that gets horns right usually gets everything right. If an audition doesn't get horns right, and I mean really righ... | |
| BEST MALE VOCAL EVER This is indeed a diverse list. Given some of the nominees, I am a little surprised there are no votes for Bob Dylan or Neil Young. :) | |
| Sophia Electric New EL34 tubes @wig , thanks, this is very helpful. I will probably pick up a 274B to try in my PS 9.0. So far, the Canadian Westinghouse V-71 is the best rectifier I've come across by a substantial margin, including the GZ34 Mullard and the Philips tube that... | |
| Sophia Electric New EL34 tubes @wig, some of us have been trying to get some feedback on the new sophia blues. Thanks for providing a brief encouragement. This is a recent thread where @winoguy17 was looking specifically for feed back on the 6SN7. I think we would love to he... | |
| Sophia Electric Blue glass Crickets.Sorry, but I have some NOS RCA grey glass that cost me $50/tube that are vastly superior to my old style Sophia based on the Full Music tube. I actually preferred a new production Tung-Sol to that Sophia in one application. I'm not spen... | |
| Atma-Sphere in CO? @cal3713 One other thought is that you mentioned what 6SN7s you had but you didn't mention where you put them. I have found that any given mixture of 6SN7s will give very different results depending on where the tubes are located in the amps. In... | |
| How to assess and quantify system improvement and changes? I think this is almost impossible to achieve, because it is always based on subjective assessments. We don't all weight various attributes the same, so, if I were to make a change that to me seemed to be a 24.8% improvement, someone else would sa... | |
| Atma-Sphere in CO? @cal3713 I just recently picked up a pair of used EML XLS and also have the mullard rectifiers. Tried the Elrogs twice, which were superb, but they failed. Not sure if the new Elrogs are holding up in the Franks or not. But they were to die for... | |
| Sophia Electric Blue glass I hear lots of noise when I turn on the bedroom light too early in the morning. |
