| Impedance - The most ignored and useful measurement tool I wonder how many of us try fixing something we hear as undesirable using other methods in/around the system and while not understanding the speaker impedance first. Re-tracing old steps, I ran into a situation last week about this, also realiz... | |
| Tidal SQ Issues Played Tidal on 16-bit and 24/192 modes both past three weekends in a row. No issues. I don't use or want MQA. | |
| PSVANE Mfg Co replaced my older 6SN7 CV-181 TII tubes SHIPPING PACKING REVIEW - PSVANE tubes: Member @marco1 shared photos today of what was received from Amazon USA for PSVANE, and we can now compare notes. Im also comparing another brand shipped too. On a rough scale of 1-10, 10 being best, will ... | |
| A cable too perfect? IIRC one member claimed a while back damaging his cables forgetting and leaving them on a cable cooker too long. I have no clue what's true but worth understanding more in any case. | |
| A cable too perfect? @mclinnguy decooney Kind of like salting potatoes: "more, that’s better, yeah more, more- Woah, too much!" As simple as that explanation seems about "salt", I guess I never thought about it like that, spices and all - so true. Great anal... | |
| Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here? What @skads_187 wrote above is super important to note. Particularly so if you care not to hurt or cause damage to these boutique makers working to survive and thrive. Many thrive also because of forums like Audiogon. Support them. i.e. Frank Va... | |
| Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here? @mahler123 ...Personally I am not going to spend thousands of dollars on something if I think the company may not be here in 6 months. YMMV. However I think this space should be a legitimate place to ask questions. There is no guarantee or r... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? To @audiojan The reason I asked about new/used and "factory boxing" is I have been sort of tracking along with different audio things getting damaged in shipping. Last batch of larger and heavier items I shipped were all hyper bubble wrapped, foa... | |
| Thinking about going electrostatic @bill1957 I looked at the reviews for the eminent technology ltf8c and I’m interested in those I’m a few hours from you. Yep. Best to drive and go listen whenever you can. Worth the extra time and drives. While I own smaller MLs in one syst... | |
| A cable too perfect? @zlone "...Keep in mind that I have used several sets of interconnects with this system already, and there was no issue with leanness." Had a full loom of "great" cables like this once. It did not start out this way, but seemed to become inc... | |
| Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis Thanks @photon46 for sharing and congrats on the amps and the journey. It will be great to learn more about your thoughts as everything settles in for you. Yes, agree what occurs might not translate to another - yet your thoughts are appreciated i... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? To @audiojan - There are plenty INT-25 units out there running perfectly well. Well tested they are leaving the factory. I live 15 minutes from Pass Labs btw, tons of it around me. Never heard of this kind of failure before, so once they check it ... | |
| PSVANE Mfg Co replaced my older 6SN7 CV-181 TII tubes @milpai @marco1 this unnamed leader person at PSVANE Co shared over email that Amazon is the primary method they use to sell tubes in the USA now, even ahead of Viva. We got into a sidebar discussion about me having to return a pair of GL tubes th... | |
| Frank is gone. AVA lives on! Thanks for letting us know. Another pioneer in the industry will be missed. Had the pleasure to speak with him a few times and during the quiet transition to the new crew. Glad to read they will work to keep AVA going. | |
| PSVANE Mfg Co replaced my older 6SN7 CV-181 TII tubes To @milpai thanks for the update and sharing your story too. You are now in the same position as me, waiting about your replacements, "if they will last". The only added context or hope I have is how this unnamed leader informed me they "do" ack... |
