| Tele CCa Vs, Siemens CCa Jsman, Upscale Audio sells the Tele 6922's & the CCA's. A bit pricey at $250 or $295 each for CCA's.http://www.upscaleaudio.com/6DJ869227308_c_42.html | |
| Questions about RCA 5751tubes I would also have recommended the GE black plates as the best 5751. However, the RCA JRC is a very sought after NOS 5751 made in the 50's - 60's and was also made as a grey plate version. Vacuum Tube Valley sells the RCA grey plates for $100 per t... | |
| 3 head cassette decks I still have a Yamaha K1000, but don't use it very much. It has 3 heads, 2 motor direct drives and was one of the few decks that has DBX. It still sounds great. | |
| Keep my tubes?? Pescolar, glad you still are enjoying it. I thought that the 1578's were extremely dynamic, but started to give me some listener fatigue after a while. You really have to experiment with the Cary, but that is what makes it so good. It really doesn... | |
| Advice going from SS to tubes? I like Tpreaves choice of Rogue, but isn't the Tempest an Integrated amp? Since Tholt has a great preamp, he needs a power amp. My advice is to go with the Rogue Stereo 90 which has a good amount of power, sounds great, and is built like a tank. I... | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates I know I mentioned this in another post and here I go again. When the Beatles stole Ringo from Rory Storme and the Hurricanes, he was regarded as the best drummer in England. It was only after some very talented virtuoso drummers appeared, probabl... | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates Sometimes the dominant bandmates are the catalyst that inspires the overshadowed one to grow. Maybe that's one reason that band's split up. One I didn't see mentioned was Dave Grohl. As far as song writing, he was definitely overshadowed by Kurt C... | |
| MSRP policy- I think if the seller lists the MSRP, it should be accurate, but here on Audiogon, MSRP is not even a requirement. Although it is highly unlikely, the other consideration is that the seller is telling the truth because he got ripped off by a deale... | |
| Keep my tubes?? Tvad, I sold them all a few months after I sold the preamp. I sold a quad of those russian 1578's and a quad of 5692's here on audiogon. I sold a pair of Sylvania VT231's Ebay. | |
| I'm beginning to wonder... Dis wuz a simble poost on spellin end know itz outta controllll. | |
| MSRP policy- I think if you informed the manufacturer, they would probably be more displeased than anyone on Audiogon. They may even take some type of action if it is a dealer listing the component. | |
| Keep my tubes?? Sold all of my 6922 tubes because I purchased a preamp that used 6SN7's. Sold that preamp after 2 years and purchased one that uses 6922's. Regretfully, I wish I would have held on to those 6922's now. Seems like the prices of the 6922's has skyro... | |
| I'm beginning to wonder... I consider myself a good speller, but sometimes I submit a post without previewing it and find a misspelled word afterwards. Sometimes my fingers are like toes and so there are some typos as well. I think maybe other people have a tendency to do t... | |
| Any great Cardas power cords? I am currently using Golden Reference and I don't have any coloration or speed issues in my system, in fact, it sounds neutral to me. You might need to steer clear of Cardas to get the sound you want. | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I was never more seriously involved with the music and this hobby until I started acquiring tube equipment. I don't see any downside at all. I personally would never consider the cost of tubes or biasing to be a downside. It's no different than pe... |
