| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Techno babbalo obfuscaturo amundo is definitely what's going on here. Because the question remains...is 'El tubo harmonico supremo? What are we talking about? NF vs. no NF, tubes vs. ss, or a whole host of variations in between? There's a lot of o... | |
| Repair of Bedini Amp Sure. As I said, I used to have one and thought it was a 'good' amp. But the 100/100 I think is a 'great' amp. I've owned a 250/250 and a 150mkII also. The 100/100 is the best of the lot. When biased up high, it has an extremely enveloping three d... | |
| Is it real or just my imagination? The op is exactly on target in his 'enlightening discovery'. It's not his imagination. What would further 'knock his socks off', after finding the 'sweet spot', is to match the left channel to the right while listening:) | |
| Repair of Bedini Amp I also used to have one but I don't get the hype surrounding that amp. I also still have a 100/100 I think is much better. I would not give up on Gary. He really is a good guy. I've also had difficulty communicating at times and at other times he ... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D All we've heard so far is a generalization of 'large' amounts of NF. Nothing specific or specific for specific amps has been stated. There clearly remains a beneficial amount at which comparisons of tube and ss amps' performance level may converge... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Information! But just because you hear something over the noise doesn't mean you're hearing more. As often as not, probably less. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D I only have one question...Wolf, when you show the chicks your tubes, do they get all giggly? | |
| Crossover upgrade? I just had Chris at Partsconnexion put a kit together for my Kappa 9's. Supply him with the schematic, your budget, and away you go. It can be better than stock or just a lot more expensive. A rebuild will always be an improvement. You definitely ... | |
| Calling all Horn lovers OH OH. | |
| Calling all Horn lovers Very good. It took a while but glad to see JBL mentioned. I'm off! The cabs to my new 4345's with Heartsfield mid-range and 2206 mid-bass are being built in somebody 'else's' garage. | |
| Stylus Rake Angle ...and hence the need to find it on the fly. | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Thank you Kiddman. But my question is really an assertion or really an assumption that although the angles may not have to match, SRA still needs to be precise and exact irrespective of the stylus still making full contact with the groove within t... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle When I adjust SRA to where it sounds correct, how close is it to (average?) VMA? It sure sounds like the entire frequency spectrum is correct, not just parts of it. | |
| Stylus Rake Angle I'm still wondering why, if slant angle varies not only from record to record but by the signal itself, by a cutter who's VTA is for all intents and purposes static, does cartridge VTA/SRA need to match VMA? Does it not stand to reason that in the... | |
