| Zenwave SCR ribbon cables When you say their newer ribbon cables, I guess you are asking about the PCR and PSR power cables and not the PL cables. I own a PL and it is superb. I have not heard his sc's, but I also own one of Dave's ic's, a Ultra D2, and it was a game cha... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes How did you test the KT150’s? I am not saying that they are not damaged and that they did not damage your amp when they blew, BUT the KT150’s need 600 volts on the line to test and very few tube testers can actually supply that. | |
| SME New Turntable Presentation The color option is there so that the really well heeled buyer can have one in each color, and swap them in based on the day, very clever marketing. Only problem is that the table probably should be priced much higher to really appeal to these lad... | |
| SME New Turntable Presentation Looks like a really good entry into the high end uber table category. Question is whether it can compete with the likes of similar priced Tech Das, Brinkmann's and Basis designs? In the UK, it will have to beat out the Linn LP12 Klimax... | |
| Audio Research Ref 75 SE: Replace 20A IEC inlet with 15A IME, a 20 amp iec works less well if placed vertically ( like most amps are designed..including the ARC REF 75) than a 15 amp iec if the 15amp iec is placed horizontally from a socket grabbing perspective. Very few amp designers place their iec’s ... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. What we are talking about is two REL T5x’s. They do have a phase adjustment switch and adjustable xover settings. Nonetheless, I think you are agreeing with me that the set up is not easy. I am no fan of digital room correction tools, much prefer ... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. @ps +1000 @ieales I guess that depends on how you want a pairing to sound, if you just plop them down anywhere, yeah you are right... no problem. ( Nope). OTOH, IF you want an invisible blend with your mains...then yup! 🤔 | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. The answer to the question is to add a second REL T5x to the system. This way, each sub can run off the particular mono block. This is REL's advice and it is well given. The addition of a second sub to my system is a nice benefit when it comes to ... | |
| Mesa Boogie vs Fender @liongboba You are 100% correct, each amp has its own voice. I can get a nice bluesy sound out of Mesa, and with some work, a nice metal sound out of Fender… BUT..Playing a friends Black Face DR, it is definitely super easy to get the nicest blu... | |
| What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X? @jc51373 Nordost are fast and accurate, although i don’t think they are inherently bright. If your tweeter is a metal dome of some kind, then yes, the speakers can sound bright with Nordost ( which the older model Wilson’s did indeed). The new si... | |
| Anyone else still loving Hales Speakers? I was impressed with my Hales Sig 2's for many years, until I heard a better sounding tweeter...and the rest was history. Paul made some amazing speakers for the time, too bad he went away from the business. | |
| What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X? @jc51373 I agree with the recommendation to call Dave at Zenwave, he makes superb cables. Why do you think the Nordost cables are too 'accurate' for Wilson Sabrina X's? | |
| KT120 back to 6550 @runwell Specs to me do nothing, unless they confirm what i am hearing with my own ears...and even then I give them very minimal credence. | |
| KT120 back to 6550 @runwell No, my idea is from actual listening experience with my own amps and in my system, or with friends amps who are using KT120’s. What amps are you referring to? | |
| KT120 back to 6550 @runwell "6550 is better for vocal for sure than KT150"--where do you get that from?? "KT150 might be good at both end but not middle"---Huh??? |
