| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out To @bdp24 the first time I heard Eminent Technology LFT-8s and LFT-16s was at my local dealer using my same Quicksilver Mono 120 amplifiers. I won’t forget the listening experience because it represented its own type of sound compared to all the ... | |
| Belden 8402, 8412, and 8428 Just for grins I ordered a nice set of custom built 8402 interconnects with great ends to give them a true evaluation vs several other cables I have. Tried them for 4 weeks, and passed them along to a friend to give them a whirl. He’s passed on th... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @hilde45 ...but if I just want them on in the background, they're lovely that way, too. It's a great point, leaving them on in the background, being able to walk around the house listening while doing various things. Just leaving it on and ... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? Cables are just like speakers and tubes and different amplifiers for that matter. You have to try them to decide if they are for you or not. Just like speakers, tubes, and amps, no they are not all the same, and you can expect different levels of ... | |
| Parasound vs Coda Thanks @mclinnguy I just checked out the manual. Also shows the front end never enters class class B operation as-is common with most amps - I'd still need to find out if Class A power doubles with 4ohm speakers. The only reason I'm interested i... | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes Just heard back this week from PSVane direct. They asked for info and I sent photos of my Oct ’22 manufactured date pair of CV-181 TII tubes I stopped using. QA issues were acknowledged from this time period, and they are following up. Also respo... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @yyzsantabarbara Yeah, I traded my old amp for the No 8. I'm using it with a Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp. I like a tube preamp with a solid state amp. Works well for me. I like and do the same with my Cary Tube preamp combined in ... | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes @johnss , I agree with the same concern. But since they have a warranty of 1 year, I will see how long these Horizons last and if they will honor the warranty. At $49 a pair, I think @decooney might as well try them. It you want to get the ART s... | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes Thanks @johnss you are helping me to decide to keep my vintage stash around to fill in between these premature failing [or possibly damaged due to poor boxing & shipping] new issue small tubes. Note & ?: The small tubes i have previously... | |

Thx. ---- Still looking for anyone current/still using the Art Series small signal tubes from PSvane. Looking over the new Horizon series in small tube... | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes Found the more recent thread where a member @alightronics is representing communications for PSVane about the new Horizon vs Art Series, in response to @milpai. Good to read, thx https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2703446 | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes @milpal The only concern for me is - how long will these last? This is the question for me too. I’m now holding off on reselling any of my vintage collections of 12au7, 12at7 tube pairs. This is a result of tube failures after 8hrs use of new ... | |
| Legacy Audio Stuff @jpcmrc "Time is irrelevant in this hobby! I stand by my response!" Some caps in speaker crossovers age out after 24+ years. Rubber and foam surrounds for the woofer driver cones dries out and becomes hard, brittle, inflexible, and start com... | |
| Replacing Bryston 4BST for Aerial 10Ts "@rwroberts Thanks everyone, I’ll consider these suggestions. I think calling Bryston about repair/update work to is a good place to start." Good suggestions here about contacting Bryston and ask for more in-depth advisory and options for your ... |
