| NOS Tubes - Ecstasy or Agony Interesting thread. I am in the middle of listening to a number of different NOS and not NOS tubes in my preamp. They range from Telefunken to Valvo's to Siemens to Amperex to Brimar's, etc. The question I always wonder is what does NOS mean to fo... | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? @kijanki +1 | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? If you have heard D’Ag gear, it is good, but it is also one of the products that is designed for the a’phile who uses his eyes possibly more than his ears alone. There are a number of competing ss products that are, depending on your system make-u... | |
| Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade? @tzh21y I think ever since Linn did away with their US distributor, they have been somewhat struggling. IMO, they seem to underestimate the size and expanse of the US. My local fettler is an excellent Linn set up guy, yet they will not allow him t... | |
| Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade? @dover What you just described tells me you were not an authorized Linn turntable dealer. Linn are very concerned ( rightly or wrongly) about protecting their Linn turntable specialists/stockists.. from their general Linn dealerships. | |
| Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade? @dover So, what happened? | |
| Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade? @dover There are a number of car mechanics on the various forums who also fancy themselves as experts at setting up the Linn turntable. All of them complain of the results that they get...I wonder why, hmmm. :0) | |
| SF vs Raidho @jafox +1SF do NOT have a house sound, what they do have is a reputation that seems to be consistent from Forum to Forum, and that is they are ’warm’. Problem is that the folks who keep on propagating this reputation typically either a) don’t own ... | |
| My Sonic Lab Signature Platinum @sfischer1 Steve hope all is well with you. I am a little surprised that you would go away from your Koetsu Onyx Platinum to the Umami! How would you describe the Umami against a highly resolving cartridge like a Lyra? What ( for you, as I realiz... | |
| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 Interesting thread. I am thinking that since the OP owns the same speakers as I do, that the answer to his question is going to be highly dependent on the rest of his gear-- and his room. While IMO the GH’s can sound warm...they are actually not r... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. @mijostyn You have brought me back to this thread with your ongoing attacks. Firstly, you have absolutely no clue as to what I do and do not do with my system, nor what it sounds like, secondly your ongoing disbelief in gear that you have never ... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. @mijostyn Thank you for TELLING me what i hear and don't hear in my system...I am off this thread now, nothing to be gained here! | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. So many naysayers on this thread....question is how many of them have actually heard what the Shakti Hallograph’s can do and have had them in their system? My bet...none of them..:0(I dont have any problem with folk who have actual experience with... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. @mijostyn You were asked if you have heard the Shakti's? I know that you have not. I will ask you a question, is it ok to post an opinion on the value and the SQ of any item that you have NOT heard and yet feel like denigrating? If so, then plea... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. @simao One could ask the same question about what justifies the cost on numerous pieces of gear in this hobby! If you look at how the Shakti’s are made and what goes into the various aspects of the product to get it to market, I can see where they... |
