| Von Schweikert VR-1 question Everybody,Appreciate all your responds. Going to have another listen to the VR-1s with some of my "less than perfect" recording and see how "revealing" these speakers are, and would it be something I could live with (btw, I collect a lot of "live ... | |
| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? I don't know that their is anyone that got me into equipment end of this hobby (not that I'm far into it), but as far understanding what's really important in music (heart, soul and talent), that would be my Dad. Many of the people (Bill Monroe, F... | |
| Serious hum problem. Help Bdgregory,Thanks for the "heads up" on the MCM Ground Loop Isolator.Had the same problem with the coax cable causing the hum (and I also have Comcast as my digital cable), that you were having, and was considering getting the Mondial MAGIC Box ($9... | |
| LS3/5. What do u think ...the best match I would imagine that the LS 3/5 would sound great with tubes. | |
| NAD C370 with Wharfedale Diamond 9.1's I would go with the C370/9.1 combination, as the C370 is a much better amp than the C320BEE. Overkill? Maybe, but I would rather have more power than I need, than not enough. Just be careful when playing your music loud, if the speakers seem to st... | |
| Tube Amp "Ringing" Tvad,You answer my question, on just how to figure "which" tube is the "ringer", now to find a pencil with an eraser. The NOS RCAs are my "newer" tubes, but nevertheless we'll see what happens. One more thing, do you have a link for TVS? Might try... | |
| Tube Amp "Ringing" My amp the 502 uses the 6550 (currently using Svetland) or can use KT88. The 302 on the other hand is the Jolida that uses the EL34. Currently, in the 12AT7 positions I'm using NOS RCA Black Plates and in the 12AX7 positions I'm using Sovtex. Mayb... | |
| Tube Amp "Ringing" Newbee,Far as I can hear, the "ringing" is occuring at the amp and doesn't seem to be getting into the signal. I checked this out by turning the volume control up (slowly, of course) with nothing playing on my CDP, but with the CDP on, to see if a... | |
| Tube Amp "Ringing" Newbee,The ringing I hear is low level. Go back to my intial post and you'll see that I only heard this ringing when I "changed my CDs and was close to the amp". Certainly, I'll switch some tubes out and see it that solves the problem, but if it's... | |
| Tube Amp "Ringing" Thanks guys,I figured that it was "tube microphonics" but didn't know how to go about solving the problem short of buying new tubes. btw, found a site for HAL-O Vacuum Tube Dampers and was wondering if any of you have used these (or other brands f... | |
| Definition of "too Hi-Fi" Basically, a component or speaker so analytical, so perfect, and so cold, that you can't enjoy the music. Fortunately, I never heard any such thing. | |
| Quad 11L owners only, please list the amplifier... Demo'd the 11L the other week (high on my list as a possible purchase) with a Jolida JD-302B (I own a Jolida SJ-502A) and was very impressed with the sound from this speaker/amp combination. Matter of fact, found this topic as I'm looking for some... | |
| B&W vs FOCAL Love the sound of a silk tweeter, but for some reason it's considered "old school". | |
| Upgrade Questions Armstrod"What changed your mind?"Who says that mind was changed? If you go back to the "diminishing returns" thread, I think I was pretty clear about doing an "modest upgrade". I also think that spending around $1200 -1500 on speakers and integrat... | |
| Upgrade Questions Thanks for "heads up" on the Totems. Just emailed them and hopefully, they'll have a dealer somewhere in the area where I can audition them. btw, appreciate people making suggestions for speakers but one thing to remember in making speaker suggest... |
