| 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... | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes okay, @milpai seems I missed the former hyperlink in to prior reply, got it. I see it now. 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 ... | |
| Legacy Audio Stuff To @jpcmrc, speaking of planets people are on, dimensions, and product evolution for that matter , did you notice that you replied to a 24-year old thread from year 2000? | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes @johnss @milpai @audioman58 checking back on the PSVane 12aXX "Art Series" tubes. Are you still using them? I ask becauseI kept using my MKIIs and went a bit sideways this past few years rolling back through my best vintage 1960s tubes, Mullards,... | |
| What is Moving From Solid State to Quicksilver Mid Monos Like? If you run the tubes the amps and circuit was designed to run with day-1, and you keep an eye on the bias, turn them off/on properly in sequence - some people will argue good tube amp(s) will last longer, and can be lower cost to repair - if they ... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? @calvinj "They just kept performing" If you like them and they do what you need, that’s far ahead of many others who keep trying and trying different speakers looking for something more that may or may not exist. Finding something you really... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? @calvinj "i got lucky with my gato fm6 speaker..." Absolutely, and can imagine it so. By happenstance I’ve implemented some of those exact Scanspeak drivers in a few custom speaker builds I played with just to see how it might turn out. "Very m... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 @aheydorn looking over the specs for both PS and Legacy speaker models you chose in your post [and pairing with your amplifier], and simply looking at efficiency, you might want to compare the two a bit more here to get pairing ideas. One is 95db... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 @aheydorn "...Both are at or above my price range so I’m looking for insights from users on these or other suggestions at or below the price range. To the OP, its confusing to some degree, and you did report already listening to both sets of... |
