| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Thanks guys, but like I stated in my OP, I dont want to consider Class D amps, at this time. @atmasphere curious as to what you would suggest in Class D that rivals tubes for smoothness and detail, I can only think of one amp that this may apply ... | |
| Tung Sol KT 170 I looked again at the spec sheet that was linked. What's up with all of the redacting?? | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- @isochronism Good to know. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @cleeds I agree with this 100%.Interestingly, in the tube re-seller world, there seems to be a propensity to label tubes as NOS. These very tubes are in fact used and measure as if new. I guess if one questions how many tubes from the 1950’s -1970... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Many of these tubes are what are considered 'pulls'. IOW, they are tubes that have been used for years in some piece of gear and have been removed to now be sold as NOS tubes. Nothing wrong with this IMO, so long as the tube is tested and correctl... | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment @tomic601 I don't think the Kleos has a Lambda option...yet. | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment Luckily, you are dealing with a company that has been around for awhile and that stands behind its products. I bought my Kleos new from a Lyra dealer, which turned out to be a very good thing as warranty service was required. | |
| SF Cremonese Q @keithr Keith, you say the Il Cremonese is preferable to the Wilson, Magico, Rockport, etc., which models are you referring to?The new Wilson Sasha DAW with the right amplification is pretty good...and apparently so is the new Magico A5, although ... | |
| SF Cremonese Q @asa Another option for a larger room would be a new pair of Franco Serblin Ktema's. They don't get a lot of press in the US, but are an excellent speaker. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Tubes are like taking care of a small child, they give you wonderful moments but need a lot of care.If you want the best SQ, IME, it is still going to come from tube gear, unless you spend the very big $$ and go for top ss. OTOH, if you want great... | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment The cantilever should not look like that. I had an exact same issue and it was corrected by Lyra after a trip to Japan. I noticed this misalignment after just a few minutes on my tonearm. My dealer was behind me 100% and the folks at Audioquest we... | |
| Chasing down the problem @mijostyn If i do that on my Nordost cable, i lose the warranty. No thanks. | |
| Chasing down the problem @millidas As I stated above, I did indeed go to my local tech, who solved the issue. He wasn't located in a shopping center however...:0) | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension @mijostyn I think you are right, the Acoustat 6 and the model 8 were in fact doubled up three’s and fours. I seem to remember that they were not called 3+3 or 4+4 though. I did think that the stacked Quad’s were more revealing and accurate in thei... | |
| SF Cremonese Q If you like the Serblin era SF's..and I can totally understand why, then why not seek out one of those? Depending on your room size, the Extrema's, the GH's, or the Strads are pretty hard to beat, IMHO.I use the GH's in my very small dedicated ro... |
