| Vivid Audio Speakers Giya's are some of my all time favorite speakers. I have heard the whole line with the Spirit's being my top choice. Having stated this, I am always amazed at the SQ that Vivid gets from a) the choice of driver and b) the quality of the internal w... | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today What deludedaudiophhile points out about the resistance of these cables is informative. Does anyone know what the resistance of their speaker cables is…and if this aspect influences their awareness of the SQ? One thing that Nordost specifies is t... | |
| Avoiding US dealer markups Perhaps when we are discussing US dealer mark ups, we should determine what the difference is between a normal mark up…and a total gouge! As many folks have eluded to, there are certainly many areas where a local dealer will be worth their extra e... | |
| Avoiding US dealer markups Depending on the gear needing to be imported it can make a lot of sense. In the case of the OP, perhaps not as the unit would be as blackdoghifi pointed out, but in the case of a cartridge, or cables, or furniture...that would be a different matte... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? When it comes to amps, there seem to be a plethora of folks who like a specific sound. Some will call that sound ’distortion’, others will call it ’neutrality’ and still others will call it ’transparency’. Tube amps have a specific ’sound’, that s... | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated I’m not sure that in Art’s system that it was that detailed...plus his speakers were probably a major limiting factor when it comes to detail resolution, IMO. | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated @smodtactical No surprise on the review from Art D. He had a certain 'bent' towards what he liked and if your system or sound didn't meet that, he would probably not like it that much. Shindo was his favorite, would not have been mine...nor his l... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? My Jeff Rowland model 8T modded is still able to compete with almost all of the current 'favorite' ss amps today. I think if an amp is able to deliver close to that 'straight line with gain' aspect that Peter Walker coined, then I think it is some... | |
| Is it ok to stack LPs horizontally? Warpage is always the reason behind not storing LPs flat, yet I have never seen anyone give a reason as to why that would be. Anyone? | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes @audition__audio If you check the specs of the Amplitrex it states it can supply 500 volts on the line.Like I said, it is the only tester I know of that can actually test the KT150's. | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes Not necessarily. The Amplitrex can supply 500 volts on the line, which as you say is not ideal, but it is the best out there. This would give one a better idea about the general health of the tube than any other tester i am aware of. Are you aware... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes The only tube tester I am aware of that has any chance of properly testing a KT150 is the Amplitrex AT 1000. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 Wonder how many amps out there that are running KT150's were actually originally designed to run on KT88's, then modded to run KT120's and finally KT150's? Interestingly, my old ARC amp running GE 6550's was super sweet sounding, the NOS GE 6550... | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @decooney No doubt that combo works well. Question is whether these amps were originally designed for KT120’s or KT150’s?...my money says KT120’s, which would lead to your observations. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @decooney Remind me again as to what amp you are using with these tubes. |
