| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Charles,You ask two great questions for which I have less than clear answers. First of all, I have not evaluated the M-60's driving the TE II's. Getting the SVIIs dialed in upstairs was a bit of a chore, and moving them in and out of the room is... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Charles, I'm sure the EML is going to be just fine. Its been a year since my 2nd set of Elrogs burned out. That should be enough time that a comparison of the Elrogs and EMLs from me will be meaningless. Over the years I've learned that we see... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Jacarcopo, Thanks for posting this report. I've exercised considerable discipline in waiting things out for a year before making a decision on Elrog vs EML XLS to replace my Psvane Ts. Much as I loved my Elrogs, I just can't get to a justifica... | |
| Magnepan Owners When I owned Maggies I had jumpers custom made from the wires I used for speaker wires. I did not (and would not) bypass the fuses, but I did purchase audiophile grade fuses. Both changes made a worthwhile improvement. | |
| Sophia EL34-ST Tubes If the Sophia EL34s sound like a 300B that is a significant accomplishment, and I will be placing an order tomorrow. Can you provide info on the review? | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Most of what I am going to say you have already heard. Don't buy speakers without auditioning them, preferably in your system. I've done that twice, and been disappointed both times. Reviews are almost irrelevant, unless the review is done by... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Charles, your comment is spot on. My preference for the M-60s in my application is by no means any kind of dis on the Franks. They are just not the right amps for the Super Victory IIs. I have not tried the TEs with the M-60s. Doing an A/B usi... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? I own the Coincident Super Victory IIs, which are a little less efficient (92.5dB) that the Total Victorys. I never really got the Supers to sing with the Coincident Frankensteins. I decided to give Atmasphere M-60s a try, and I am extremely p... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio I talked to him once about some tubes. When I finished talking, I said, "I don't need this." Its not like I can't find respectful and customer oriented guys to send my money too. | |
| How many CaryAudio techs does it take to replace a lightbulb in a CAD-211FE? This sort of thing is very frustrating. However, thing about it from their point of view. If they tell someone how to replace a bulb, and the owner gets ahold of a cap and gets a 1000 V zap, it makes them vulnerable. There is no upside for them... | |
| Mystery of the Disappearing Frequency Trytone, I am not sure I can help other than to offer my sympathy. I have been working on my room since last October, and although I have made a good bit of progress, I have a fairly high level of frustration at this point. I have spent some mo... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Jetter, I read about the 12 g somewhere. I thought it was on Jeff Day's blog, but I can't find the reference anywhere. When I needed some longer runs, I considered buying enough Duelund 16 g to double up. Then I saw the comment about the 12 g ... | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k There is a lot of good advice here. I didn't read anything that would be really bad advice. However, there are a couple of key considerations in your case. This is your first serious system, and you are working with a fairly low budget. Theref... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Mac48025, I am not using the GE's at this time. I am using VH Audio IC's, and I find them very much to my liking. They are silver, but not at all harsh or edgy. I have followed this thread and will probably give one of the GE's a try if I find... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables The grownups in the room make it worth tuning out the noise. It is a dilemma common to our time. I value free speech, therefor I have to defend the rights of those who want to shut down free speech (even in subtle ways), up to a point. |
