| My first Tube Amplifier My your TUBE is ceartinly larger than my Tube ! All ESL jokes aside , I started in 1973 with a Dynaco SCA-35 and a FM-3 tuner . I’ve never supersized my Stereo due to cost . So today in my Mid-Fi world and hot summers , I run a larger amp during t... | |
| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? Hi , I have a question for all you JBL affectionados . I have a very clean pair of 4312A’s . I’ve paired them with numerous SS and Tube amps . No vinyl , just a Schiit Yiggy . I’m not recapturing my youth , like I was hoping . They sound harsh in ... | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality Thankyou Art. | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality Per another member - “ Picked up a pair of the reissue JBL L100’s a few weeks ago. 12” woofer, retro design, complete wall of sound - sounds like a straight up recording studio or concert in my room. I was seriously sick of messing around with tw... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? I find it interesting that Rogue ALWAYS recommends Mullards . I have a Rogue pre and prefer Telefunkens , Seimens and Amperex over Mullards . Even RCA over Mullard . They recommend Mullard for driver upgrades in their power amps too . I loaned my ... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. I’d look real hard at the Modwright KWI-200. Absolute beast in its price range . 200 wpc doubles to 400 wpc at 4 ohms. Great amp for demanding loads . I had one without the DAC , I use a Schiit Yiggy. It was paired with Acoustic Zen Speakers . I... | |
| Best SS amp choice for Zu Omen I would recommend a used First Watt amp . I’ve had good luck using vintage Sansui and Marantz SS. For tubes , the Had Inspire is Outstanding . I’d also avoid pure silver Interconnects and speaker cables ( too bright ). I’ve had good luck with Ant... | |
| Best Speakers under 1k for me Hi , interesting post . How high is your ceiling ? Do you have carpet ? Cloth covered furniture ? Have you tried hanging a couple blankets for a test ? Sounds like you need to address room issues first . I have MK I Omens and love them . My room i... | |
| Power conditioner or outlet? Hi , did you upgrade the Outlets ? I have a Richard Grey unit and Silnote cords . But I also installed Hubbell medical grade gold plated outlets . I was amazed at how cheap the existing ones were . They utilized a spring push in system . The Hubbe... | |
| The 70’s are back Thanks nonoise , I’ve looked at Kendrick’s photos , but I’ll have to read the info . My JBL’s have the Ti tweeters . I’m hesitant to mess with the crossovers as the potentiometers are part of the baffle . I’m pretty good with a soldering iron , bu... | |
| The 70’s are back Interesting thread based on the division of Taste . I have in the closet a stellar pair of JBL 4312a’s , mirrored set in the original cartons and a custom ordered set of Sound Anchor stands ( 26” tall ). A Sansui 9090DB, a Marantz 2026, an MXR 15x... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. My introduction to Morrow began by getting free tweaks advice by email . I decided to try them against my current Interconnects. I emailed and asked for advise regarding MA4 with upgraded termination Vs MA5 with Mike’s standard connector . Mike pr... | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? 1973, Dynaco SCA 35, Dynaco FM 3, Garrard 40B w/ Audio Technia . Bulk 10 ga speaker cables, cheesy red , white and yellow Interconnects . Advent small speakers . Then I switched to JBL L-19’s , homemade shielded interconnects , 8 gauge copper ( AC... | |
| Best $40 I've spent...maybe ever Well Played NRENTER ! BTW I’m envious of your Dragon. God Bless TDK Metal cassettes ! Anyway, if you haven’t done so allready , consider installing Hubbell Medical Grade outlets , or something similar . I had good results switching out my standard... | |
| Tube Pre-Amp, vs Solid State with Tone Controls/EQ to take edge off the top end? Hi , I purchased a Schiit Loki 2 weeks ago . Not a perfect solution , but very versital and worth buying . Running a Rogue RP-1 with Telefunken G-73R ( 12AU7’s). Switched out my Had Inspire for some heavily modded Dynakit MK III’s . Tone was hollo... |
