| DISCOGS: Music recommendations inspired by standout albums of 2022 I received the promo also, as I have an account at Discdogs. Yes we get plastered with marketing promos , but if we find something new we like it’s worth wading through the ones we don’t. Nothing is more enjoyable than finding new music that is... | |
| KT 150 failure George, thanks for the post. As a tube enthusiast I learn from my fellow Agoners. Over the last couple years I’ve had 2 power tube failures with my Had Inspire. The first was a SED Winged C 6550 that had a catastrophic envelope failure. Big pop an... | |
| Klipsch Speakers Check with online stores and inquire about a home demo. Many offer a trial period and could offer suggestions as to what pairs well with your Fortes. Demo a couple amps and if not happy , try different speakers. | |
| Klipsch Speakers I think you have too many variables in play for a single solution. If I may ramble a little. The Klipsch Heritage series has a distinct sound, tubes will improve it, but it’s still Klipsch and will always be bright and lack bass. Also your room... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? I see the “ lamp cord comment “ by the same contributor. So do you still run the thin red, white and yellow interconnects? According to you , it’s just wire. Why do you roll tubes ? They’re just metal and glass. Some poor village is deprived o... | |
| How crucial is the quality of a digital cable? Welcome to digital audio, where everything makes a difference. To answer your question, yes it makes a difference. Take advantage of Amazon’s liberal return policy and try a cable in the $100 range , you’ll hear a difference. As a Mid Fi guy I’... | |
| New Dennis Had amps Thanks for starting this thread and sharing the link. As an Inspire owner I’m always interested in seeing new stuff and hearing experiences from fellow users. My HO Firebottle is dated 1/27/16, and has a small driver tube ( E88CC). I believe that... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… +1 @erik_squires , I had to laugh as it reminded me of my childhood days when dad said “ Hold the TV antenna “. EMI, capacitance, and electrical conduction all come into play when we place our body in the circuit. I’ve removed dimmer switches,... | |
| JBL model L150 woofer cone color question Check with “ Speaker Pros “ in Garden Grove , Ca. For years Orange Co speakers was the place we went for all our JBL rebuild needs. Unfortunately they’re gone and “ Speaker Pros “ claims to be the remnants. So maybe contact them and see for your... | |
| Headphone amp and dac advice needed FWIW, I have Audeze LC 2’s and Schiit DAC and amp. I enjoy it, but try different gear first. What I will point out is my planer headphones are big and heavy. I generally don’t last for more that an hour with them on. And this is at home , not the ... | |
| Streamers/DACs FWIW, I’m running the TP link powerline adapters. Due to location , I was limited to this or Wi-Fi. I was aware of this devise but ignored trying it until I saw it recommended by one of the streamer manufacturers as an alternative. I’m sure the... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? +1 @wolf_garcia , Wolfie nailed it ! I appreciate your prospective . Personally I’ve run into brightness issues when doing any exorcisms as the silver adds too much brightness and causes the demon screams to hurt my ears. However Silver gel works ... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? Slightly off topic , but in the same area. You might want to add some sort of unit isolation underneath and tube dampers too. Not related to your popping , but at your level of involvement it never hurts. Cheers , Mike. | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? My experience is that I had a high pitched ringing or a vibration like hum. This was alleviated initially by cooling and reinstalling the tubes. As the tube aged they got worse and we’re replaced. The 2 times I experienced a single pop, it was t p... | |
