| LETS COMPARE TUBE AND SS AMPS. TECHNICAL Your system, speakers and room combined with your listening habits will matter most. Cables and power delivery can also make a HUGE difference and do not have to cost a fortune. Any comparison of a tube product vs ss will be mute without the rest ... | |
| Bananas Vs Spades??? Yep, I believe I did tighten some spades once that became loose....uh, broken:O( | |
| Bananas Vs Spades??? Spades hands down. Better surface area contact, can be torqued down extremely tight and less vibrations. They sound more powerful on same cable used. | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Extraterestrial...can't even spell sometimes:O) | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Sure, I can translate...lighten up a little! Have you no sense of humor man? Loosen that tie and relax for awhile...it's all good:O> FYI, most of my comments are tongue in cheek...sometimes even foot in mouth:O< Enjoy K man...I'm sure your n... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Well, ok then. However, in a sense we are all reps for ourselves. Reps, whom at some point, will cash in on our good intentions for either some intangible emotional reciprocity or perhaps something more practical, such as cold hard cash:O) One thr... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Thanks Dave, Audiofeil tends to play God alot around these forums. Makes him feel exceptionaly important to correct people on their own opinions:O) Funny how he has only ever initiated 1 thread...only one! Weird no? I geuss it does make sense howe... | |
| XLR Connector Comparison Retailed, I payed $3200:O) As they break in the sound get's closer, although there may be a smidge more energy on top with the reference cables...program dependent and mostly with material that has alt of upper freqency energy to begin with. But h... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? Keithr, I am very pleased with my room actually. I learned from Dunlavy that having your listening position against the back wall reduces standing waves and supports deep bass. The best rooms I've heard have had natural room treatments such as woo... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? Sure, the room dimensions are approx. 20ftLx16ftWx7ftH. Subfloor is concrete with berber carpet/heavy padding over it. Drapes on left wall at first reflection point for L CH. Open right to bar 4ft from end next to front wall. Tall Plants behind sp... | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix Stereo subs are the best and crossing them over where the mains leave off is a must. Having them in the same plane as the midrange driver panel and facing forward will also increase the seemlessness. Placing the subs on a support platform also imp... | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones Bozaek B313 large bookshelf speakers circa 1962. Our family pair only recently blew a midrange driver...should be fixable. Led Zeppelin or Shostakovich sounded full, dynamic, clear and very natural! Easy to drive as well:O) | |
| Sub Cable Effect Funny, I had some very expensive IC's on my subs for awhile and then I put my Monster cheapo's back in after I sold them...looking to generate some cash and replace them with new sub cables. The Monsters go very deep, have great fullness and textu... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? I sold my Sophia's. I've owned many other box speakers such as Watt/Puppy 6's, Dyn C4's, B&W801N's, ML Odyssey's, Totem Winds and Forests, Dunlavy SC-V's etc... My instincts told me to think outside the box and give Magnepan a try. The 3.6R's ... | |
| How do MIT and Transparent cables differ? Audiofeil is correct. Transparent uses a very simple in line filter approach, while MIT uses a more complex patented "out of the signal path" group of technologies. I heard some $100/pair cables that sound as good or better than some $6k plus cabl... |
