| Why are older tubes so much sought after Larryi,sadly its a sign that this technology has become a bit of a dinosaur with only the select few interested. Although I see a few tube docking stations for ipods!I know many here will disagree here, but in my experience other technologies, esp... | |
| Why are older tubes so much sought after Larryi,I would agree with you. Manufacturers need a constant supply of reliable tubes that can be bought in bulk for a reasonable price. I guess it is up to the individual to search and test which selection of tubes works best in whatever equipmen... | |
| Why are older tubes so much sought after In the world of audiophilia nothing is clear it seems. Many opinions and experiences with many variations of equipment all needing to addressed differently.The only thing we can be sure of is some types of NOS are better than new versions and othe... | |
| Why are older tubes so much sought after By the time these NOS tubes have run out, either better technology would have appeared and make tubes a thing of the past for good, or electricity will be so expensive that no one will be able to afford to run dreadfully inefficient technologies l... | |
| Amp for Maggies Always try Audio research first with Magnepan. Then try the rest... There is a magic with ARC and Maggies. You may suffer in that last bit of bass control a little with them, but all other areas will reward you with beautiful music.There are lots ... | |
| Dartzeel or Mark Levinson 33H The Levinson 33H is probably getting on now. I would try the Dartzeel, but be aware of its slight lack of power. The Dartzeel on the times I have heard it, have had very nice timbre detail compared to the darker ML sound. | |
| Why are older tubes so much sought after A great question and very interesting answers above.In my experience of NOS in new equipment the results have not been that great. I have found in the valves I mainly used (power tubes 6550,KT88,and 12AX7,12AU7,ECC81,ECC82) the older valves never ... | |
| studio equipment that makes it into home hifi Hi Shadorne,Much of the monitoring in the studios in your link, are relatively cheap, but sound good. They are just in well designed and treated rooms, placed carefully, and fed a clean signal. The genelec active monitors sound really nice and are... | |
| Does anyone have feed back on the Plinius Sa 250 ? I would agree with Philjolet. A very warm sounding amp with deep bass. It has a liquid like, almost valve like quality. Maybe not the most detailed amp in the world, but very musical. Very heavy, runs hot and take care not to kill your self on tho... | |
| studio equipment that makes it into home hifi The thing to remember is just like domestic hifi studio gear comes in a different price levels.Just to say studio engineers use this or that can be misleading. A studio engineer in a project or budget studio uses this or that, but would much rathe... | |
| ML Statements - Need help matching with best amps Very nice electrostat.I am not sure how much they are, but the MBL power amps may be sweet enough for you instead of using ARC. | |
| ML Statements - Need help matching with best amps The Bel canto ref 1000s are very good and are a fatter and wider sounding amps than the Jeff Rowland version. You dont say which version of the martin logan statement you have. But if you wanted valves on the highs try the Audio Research Ref amps.... | |
| Halcro Preamps I have only heard the DM10 which I think is the same only missing a phono stage and headphone output. Halcros strength is amazing detail, clarity and purity with extremely low distortion. They make the most transparent kit I have ever heard.The pr... | |
| why are two subs harder to place than full range? The sub brings almost as many problems as it solves. To give you peace of mind connect the system to a room correction device. Some not only measure and EQ to compensate for the acoustics, but will act as a crossover too. Some are simpler than oth... | |
| If money is not a problem The ATCs are ok and have uses in a studio, but if money were not an issue? Come on guys you are not trying hard enough!As for the humble quad... you all keep forgetting money is not a problem! Get quad to build you a wall of them so you could have... |
