| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,That was a good explanation of tube rolling. It isn't always a good tube replaces bad tube situation. Often it's the opportunity to tailor tube sound to your specific taste. Different doesn't imply better in every case. Some tube component... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz If Fplanner2000 and Tbg both say they heard the Tara Labs cable at RMAF this past weekend, why question their credibility? They were actually there and they are certainly more believable than someone who didn't attend the show it would seem. | |
| Pre + Amplifier Recommendation I don't think it's a competition between system types and who's approach is better. Rather people can hear the same sound presentation and have vastly different opinions. I don't know who in particular are the low power amp guys referenced, but I ... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Thanks Grateful, that's very good information to pass along. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi, Just about every tube component regardless of its cost will improve with tube experimentation. I find this to be a plus. It's not that stock tubes sound "bad" but that there's room for such pleasing advancement, a bonus IMO.Charles, | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Hi Audiofreak, Welcome to the club, I understand your journey. The good news is you've gotten it right for your needs and are very happy with your system's sound.Charles, | |
| Coincident Dynamo vs. Decware SE34I.4 Hi Rebbi,Admittedly that thread did "drift" a bit but in fairness you got multiple responses and very informed commentary and comparisons of amplifiers as well. After a while there's just so much that can be said without inevitable redundancy sett... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Roxy54,Treat my page as a gathering site for fellow SET/low powe r amplifiers -high efficiency speaker aficionados, that's how I see it. The OP's Shindo-Tekton is a good example. I bet it sounds excellent. Charles, | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Hi Roxy54,Off topic for a moment. Impressions of your AN Kit 300b amplifier, you can answer on my system page if you're so inclined. Back to the thread topic.Thanks,Charles, | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Sabai,This new firmware must really quite special, as you were very fond of the NAD M51 DAC. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... +1 Jaxwired, Ohwy61, Shakeydeal and Roxy54. This is the proverbial molehill turned into a mountain. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I don't agree that most speaker manufacturers include grills. Really this seems like such a small matter (at least to me). Regarding the off color drivers, he acknowledged that and offered to exchange the entire speaker! This is going beyond the c... | |
| Best Power Conditioner? Miguel, Is that you in the final picture holding the microphone? I know your Tripoint products were a smashing success at that show and people were in awe. Congratulations, that ultra High End Asian crowd is tough to impress.Charles, | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Roxy54,I'm inclined towards you view as well, I imagine most of these speakers are ordered without grills, so no holes for them. Velcro stick on grills are relatively common and acceptable. It seems although the builder's response time was a bit s... | |
| Pre + Amplifier Recommendation Zd542,Yes, no argument with that fact. |
