| Good sources for tubes other than Upscale Kevin Deal at Upscale is rude and a rip off.............. I wouldn't do business with the guy if he was the only place in town. Try Vacuume tube Valley- a little pricy but great service and a huge selection. Andy at Vintage Tube serv. Bruce Wingar... | |
| Experience with the new Avantgarde Duo Omega I have only owned my Duo's for a couple of months, but would like to hear from anyone who has done the upgrade as well......... I've got to say the cost seems Crazy out of line though........ From what I can tell from the pictures, we're talking f... | |

| High Efficiency System- Noise Floor Reality Check? Whart,Have you tried cheater plugs........ Probably an obvious "Yes", but thought I'd ask.....Chris | |
| High Efficiency System- Noise Floor Reality Check? Porziob........ Not so fast. Whart,The 60 cycle hum should not be there. With my Duo's, Aesthetix, Art Audio (i.e. all tube system) all I hear when I put my ear next to the horn is a gentle tube hiss. I am not using any type of power conditioning ... | |
| Review: Aesthetix Callisto Signature and the KT-66 Tube preamp ALbert,AS always thanks for your input on all things audio. I was unable to open many of the comments in the link you provided either. If you have time I am intersted in your findings on the various tube swaps you mention in your earlier post.Chris | |
| Avantgarde Duo set up. I bought my pair of Duo's from my (VERY COMPETENT) local dealer (they were his personal speakers). His first advise was; don't listen to what the manual say's about set-up! Quick and dirty... here ya go.1. Set the speakers at least 9 feet from yo... | |
| solidstate system to single ended...should I? I would look into ART Audio for the amp.... They may be a bit out of your price range (I think a used Carrisa usually sells for around 3k) but if you can stretch it a bit they are very good amps. There is a Wyetech Onyx' on Audiogone right now for... | |
| Best monitor for under $1500? Go for a pair of powered Genelec's. Later you can ad a sub woofer to fill in the bottom end (to 20Hz). They are a bit out of your price range but you would save money on a power amp.Chris | |
| Review: Aesthetix Callisto Signature and the KT-66 Tube preamp 42659: Just to ad a bit to what Jafox is saying; I was not kidding (alright a little) about the Genelex KT-66's being part of my portfolio....... I have seen these tubes selling for $600-$700 per pair in some places. If you have a dual power suppl... | |
| Buck Owens RIP Buck was a true pioneer in country music..... A sad day.Chris | |
| AC line conditioners I think Jjmali is making a lot of sense here........ A lot of music that I like was recorded on field recoders by guy's like Alan Lomax in the '20-30's. That doesn't mean I should use playback technology from that time period to reproduce this mus... | |
| Multi channel preamps Kal,Have you heard either of these? If so, how do they stack up to the Bel Canto?Chris | |
| Multi channel preamps Does Audio Research still make their 6 channel pre? Also, did'nt CJ just ome out with one?Chris | |
| Tube amp $2-3K used The ARC amps are out if your not into doing some work to bias....... This does cut down on your choices considerably. Maybe the amp you hould look at is the Sonic Frontiers, like Semi Say's. It biases from the top using LED's that tell you when yo... |
