| Value of burn/break in? I purchased an entry level tube pre 2 years ago , a Rogue RP-1. After two weeks I changed the 2 12AU7’s and after 4 or 5 pairs, settled on Telefunkens . Then I auditioned 3 different power cords that are under $125 ea . Both made a huge difference... | |
| Have l become unstable? Yes ATC’s . But for Buddy Guy , you’re gonna need Polka Dots too! I’m envious, I can’t afford ATC . One of the most powerful , clean sounding shows I ever saw was Supertramp’s Crime of the Century Tour at the restored Warner’s Theatre in Fresno . ... | |
| The big DAC decision Boy , here’s a subject that most will not agree on . Besides you will have to find out for yourself . First I have an Oppo 105, and I don’t use its DAC. I currently run a Schiit Yiggy . So I would audition the Yiggy and 2 others to start . They in... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @nutty , good choices . I live in Clovis (Fresno ). Saw Trower with Pattinson at a small venue ( Tower Theater ) . A couple years ago went with my brother to a drum clinic ( at Bentley’s) with Carmine Appice . After the clinic we went to see Carmi... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Great thread . All the solutions are here . First set your speakers slightly off axis, this will lessen the glare . Second , allow about 400 hours for breakin . And unfortunately replace the consumer receiver with an audiophile grade product . I k... | |
| I am TORN between Tube power amp and SS power amp. Also , I have a Had Inspire on right now . At 12 WPC , don’t even try to run the JBL’s . That’s why I have Heresys and KG 1.5’s to supplement my Zu’s . | |
| I am TORN between Tube power amp and SS power amp. Hi Rodulfo, I have a pair of JBL 4312A’s on Sound Anchor stands . They are currently in the closet as I went to low power tubes . Your speakers need 100 plus wpc tube or 200 wpc SS . I’ve run these along with my long gone Century 100’s using D... | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! Hi , I have a SEP low power amp that takes a single driver tube of your requirement 6DJ8 . So I purchased the following - NOS E88CC Telefunken, Tesla, CCa Siemens , Phillips SQ, Mullard , JAN Phillips ECG, Russian 6N1P. So now at about $1000 d... | |
| Getting into Tube Equipment @trelja , thanks for the compliment. I’ve tried NOS Mullard drivers , but they are like pushing the Dolby noise button on an old cassette player . In keeping on track with an excellent discussion . Would you or anyone please share on the new Dynac... | |
| Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp A little off topic . I converse with an Audiophile that collects the Big vintage JBL’s ( 15” woofers ) . He runs McIntosh tubes and class D bi-amped with active an crossover and DSP. Not my cup of tea , but if done right , really impressive . Also... | |
| Getting into Tube Equipment Great discussion, especially the Dynaco stuff . In my youth I had a pair of Dynaco MK III’s powering my JBL Century 100’s . Home built SS pre amp with tone controls . Garrard 40B with Audio Technica cartridge followed by a Pioneer PL -117 . It was... | |
| Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe Good stuff , thanks . I too am interested in the Seas kit (A26). I added the cabinets and upgraded the capacitors and it came to about $1350.00 at Madison. I went with another speaker , but am still really interested in the kit . So as someone al... | |
| single driver speakers Dear Otter Water , I had the same question 2 years ago . So I asked around like you did . After some research , I purchased a pair of used Zu Omens . The gentleman I purchased them from went on to buy Voxative and DeVore speakers ( both expensi... | |
| When the Power Tubes Run Out You guys are scaring me . I just pulled my GEC KT-66 smoked glass and put them away . And I will only take out my NOS Gold Lion KT-88’s on holidays . So let’s see , I have a shoe box full of SED Winged C’s 6550. Over there , I have new GL, Tung S... | |
| What is an excellent power cable? More ramblings . +1 to Mofimadness on the Signal Cable Magic Power Cable. I’m running one on my Schiit Yiggy and I agree with him . On power conditioning Vs distribution , I chose the Richard Gray 600. It has six outlets and a quality cord . It ... |
