| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation Hi , my daughter picked up the Sonos Arc and a pair of the “ 5 “ speakers. She has one of the newer styled cracker box houses with a “ Great Room” kitchen, living room combo. So half of her 2000 sq ft house is one big room with tile floors , hard ... | |
| OK, so seriously, what is up with TMR's pricing here?? I’ve seen sellers with multiples of the same item, pairs of tubes for example. This is done to prevent confusion as to which add is being responded to. I think in this case it’s just to grab attention. Kinda like filling my truck at $6.29 & 9/... | |
| Why Does My Current Music Sound So Much Better than It Did in the 80’s? Is it Live, or is it Memorex ? 😆 | |
| 2 channel preamp for music only system FWIT the JBL Century 100’s are based on 4311’s ( I’m assuming you have the original ones ). They take a massive amount of power and you really can’t rely on the efficiency rating. Also as you know wattage ratings are not equal Vs different br... | |
| Speakers on carpet over concrete I have very thick carpet over dense pad on a concrete slab floor. I currently have Zu’s on spikes through the carpet to the concrete. The speakers are rock solid to the floor with brass weights on the top front of the cabinets. I went to 15”x15”x4... | |
| This cable game is making my head spin Hi , I feel your pain as I’m a cost driven Mid Fi guy. My system is tube pre and power to Zu omens. I got away from silver early on as it was too bright. I went to Anti Cable interconnects and speaker cables ( level III ) and Silnote power cab... | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? Back in the 70’s when I started this journey, I built most of my gear. I built my preamp from a kit, my power amps were a scratch built copy of Dynaco MK III’s. I built numerous speaker sets mostly 2 way. I did a 3 way but I bought premade cros... | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan Fisherman’s Blues by The Waterboys, this song reminds me of Dylan. | |
| 12x7 tubes +1 for Brent Jesse, read the tone descriptions they’re spot on. Next is what tone change is best for your system. After trying about a dozen brands of NOS tubes, I’m a huge Telefunken fan. That being said the Tungsram is a less expensive way to ... | |
| Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables? Hi , it might be helpful if you give additional info such as price point and your current system. That being said I have a restored and modded Thorens TD 160 MK II with a Grado Prestige cartridge. The plinth is custom made from rosewood salvaged f... | |
| Turn off or leave on? As I have a tube pre and power amp, I turn them off unless I’ll be listening again in the next 6-12 hours. My Schiit Yiggy stays on 24/7, and my Richard Gray does not turn off. Class D amps are another item that takes a long time to warm up. | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Thanks for the info, you’ve invested quite a bit of time and money. As a Schiit Yiggy owner, I’ve never done the comparisons and have no idea what I’m missing. I would like to ask about the Oppo 105, as you referred to it quite often and I have on... | |
| Amp Upgrade Path? With your budget and speakers look at Quicksilver pre and their KT monos. The pre will best your Rogue and their KT’s are now 100 watts. Rogue recommends rolling NOS Mullards in the small tubes. I much prefer Telefunkens and Siemens as they ar... | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. God Bless you @grislybutter , I can only imagine your pain. I’m Volga German and our people were run out of the Volga area in the late 1890’s. Many that didn’t flee died in work camps when WW I started. My wife and I were at the biggest park in ou... | |
| Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes @ghasley , I wrote my statement on a 4th grade level, but apparently it went over your head. The invasion thing is political and that has no place here . In making the comparison of ammo to tubes, consider that like tubes, ammo involves toxic mate... |
