| Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass Suggest you try a good preamplifier in your system. My Bartok sounds great until I put the Conrad-Johnson ART88 pre back in the system. A much fuller more complete sound stage. Most, including now even Paul McGowan who fought the concept of a prea... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Different output tubes will certainly sound different but will not increase the amplifier's output. The same energy in produces the same output. KT 120s can replace those tubes but as you get to the KT150 and especially the KT170 the electrical r... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Sorry if I missed it but what does Jeff Fischel at C-J have to say about your noisy tube issues and does he have a recommended tube for you? | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 Many years ago I owned a series of B&W speakers, working my way up through the Matrix series to the Nautilus 800s. I bought them off the dealer’s floor and they sounded great there. My living/listening room at the time was 9X13X8. The N800s, r... | |

| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes Is this what they mean by "Double Blind" testing? An enjoyable read in any case. I'm still trying to decode the results. I actually prefer a good English Gin for these critical sessions. Best... | |
| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes Hey trivema, Thanks for your description of the KR KT88 SQ. Looking for a lusher, fuller midrange if anything. In pursuit of that actually got rid of Nordost Valhalla speaker cables for Wireworld Platinum. Needed Nordost's Odin top cable but t... | |
| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes VerdantAudio... just looked at your site. Very impressive offering. And thank you for the perfect answer. Which begs the question... Other than blue, how is the SQ of the Sophia Electric KT88s vs the Gold Lion. Moon Audio folks are nice folks and... | |
| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes My amplifier is a Conrad Johnson ART27a class A producing 36wpc. For the benefit of the first three respondents who have not heard the KR tubes, the amplifier lists for $22K. The pre-amp is C-J's ART88 at $28K. All pretty high end sound produce... | |
| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! BTW, in those days it wasn't "we are pregnant". It was honey I'm pregnant. Now go to the father's waiting room while I have this baby and "they" will call you when it over. That waiting room was a small space with well worn magazines and no TV,... | |
| Type 45 Tubes for stereo amplifiers A little off the subject but has anyone had experience with KR Audio tubes? I’ve got four Gold Lion KT88s, nearly new, in the C-J ART27 amp now and wondering if I would hear a difference with the KR Audio tubes. A bit pricy at 1300 for the set. ... | |
| New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s? While I'm a Wilson guy... you have some PS Audio gear now, get them to send some FRs on trial. | |
| Six DAC Comparison Just scanned these comments and didn't see the obvious thought. The biggest influence on the sound of a DAC is the analog output circuit. After it converts, it's that small Amplifier that outputs your 2-6 Volt signal. My excellent dCS Bartok no... | |

| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC Another thing... Can’t tolerate that reviewer’s voice again for a replay, but when he discussed the Bartok’s value, don’t remember that he mentioned that Bartok is also a world class streamer as well. So you save the cost and hassle of choosing a... |
