| 1st Album you Ever Owned? Great thread. My first was a superb compilation album...Stereo Plus 3, which was a promo LP released by City National Bank. This promo LP featured Gladys Knight, Beatles and other great performers. If you can find a copy today, its a great listen. | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- @austinstereo. That is interesting. I am not concerned about the issue of injury, as I never let folk get near the tubes. Your client has a point though if he had little children or pets that could get injured!The issue I brought up in my OP, has... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! @sciencecop I don't dispute that I am not a Magico fanboy like yourself, BUT i don't bash Magico at every opportunity, no need to. Yes, I am a 'lovely' person, are you? or are you just another nasty little troll? | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Warm but not hot is how my amps get now. Problem is, that due to such a small room, warm over time is enough to heat the room considerably. I like the idea of maybe rolling in some smaller tubes, which might lead to even less heat. Something I wil... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! @mheinze I am not a Magico fanboy if you are asking that, and I don't get upset when someone offers an opinion of my speaker. You own A3's, good for you, so when i stated that they didn't impress me, you didn't like that...too bad. I have heard M... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- @atmasphere Actually my AC works well enough to cool the room, BUT the issue is that it is a little noisy, just as any fan vent would be. Like you stated, my tube amps also run coolish when they are in standby, but once the voltage is applied, up ... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! @mheinze Maybe you should read these threads a lot better than you do...before you tell anyone that they know nothing about the speaker! If you did this, MAYBE you would have read this from member easy_h:"I got mine about a month now. My Bryston 7... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! @erik_squires +1 | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! @mheinze Please explain how me hearing the A5 will change its requirement for a monster power amp upstream???I have heard the A3, nothing special at all IMHO.The A5 may very well be a totally different sounding speaker, I sure hope it is, but the ... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! How many folk have bought a high and speaker for some serious coin and then realized that it takes a monster power amp to even get them to sound! If the A5's are a brutal load and need a ton of amp power upstream, how many folk will still consider... | |
| Replacement Amp For Audio Research Classic 60 The OP is correct, the D115 Mk 2 is a nightmare to bias. I used to own, and love, a D70Mk2...which is what I think the Classic 60 is based on, the D70mk2 is a stupendous sounding amp, BUT the biasing scheme was best left to a tech and really could... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc The new Jadis JA30Mk2 amps really do respond well to tube rolling in the driver stages. I rolled in NOS Telefunken smooth plate 12Au7's and NOS Siemens 12AX7's, a great match up for this amp.I have now gone through a number of different ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Once again, some great advice from Charles1dad! More than likely with the 300B Jadis amp, one is looking for a horn type of speaker. This aspect is another reason why i have never been that enamored of 300B type amps..and not because I don’t think... | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. @russashe Thanks for the suggestion. I applied Gruv Glide to the album in question and this helped a little, i will re-clean it again, this time using a wet vacuum system. I am afraid that the damage to the groove is permanent though, we shall see. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? The JA30Mk2's with the Franco Serblin Accordo's would probably be a great match up. Agree 100% with the post above by charles1dad. |
