| Vandy Owner needs help I agree with Sean on the Castle Richmonds. You may also want to take a look @ their Pembroke model wich is a slim floor stander with a small foot print. This will give you more bass and a cleaner look (sans stands). | |
| Recommend location and type for kitchen speakers How about a nice Vandersteen center island? Maybe look into the Gallo Micro line as they are a bit rolled off in the HF's which might do well in a bright sounding kitchen? They are orange/apple sized balls which would look basically like a couple ... | |
| How to pick your first SET tube amp? Sc: If your room is not too large 300B based amps should work well. Lots of different flavors of these amps, though, and they do not have to be soft/slow and rolled off @ the frequency extremes if you pick wisely. A pair of mono block "kits" getti... | |
| Tubes in Blue Yul: The blue is very common with rectifier tubes and also output tubes if it is limited to the top of the output tube, just above the vertical plates. If the glow seems to scatter below this area and/or fills the glass globe then I would suspect ... | |
| Tubes in Blue Yu: What type of tubes are we discussing? A Blue/Purple glow @ the top of the glass globe is usually OK on larger power tubes (I have often found them to be the best sounding), but if it extends lower and seems to cloak the horizontal spacers and/... | |
| best budget hi-fi speakers for my specific system I would recommend giving the speakers @ least 300 hours of playing time before drawing any conclusions as to their sonic signature (the little $300 AE's take this amount of time (plus) to run in and afterward they evolve into great sounding budget... | |
| How long is too long to ship? Well, I just sold an item recently @ this site and my bank was not very helpful in confirming that the funds were good (the clerks quoted the usual 7-10 working days). This is not quite accurate as an NSF notice can take up to 14 days via intersta... | |
| Who R U? Hey Bishop: Albert's just a little testy from listening to MTV for the past four months (while his system has been down). Ordinarily he would allow you to fault before the flogging began. Oh, and watch out for Brulee (he's a tricky little devil:-) | |
| analog newbie I just purchase sealed albums, listen to them 5 times (they sound best the 4th or 5th play) and then throw them away. I'm not wasting my money on fancy cleaning gizmos. | |
| Best Matched Monitor Speakers For 300B S.E.T amps Audioslife: I have used a pair of Reynaud Twins with an Audion Silver Night 300B amp in a room twice your size, for the past year, without any problems other than not being able to blast the stereo. I did once set this system up in a 12' x 14' roo... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Raguirre: You are doing better than I did in the beginning (I wasted over 35 feet of the OTA) and to date have broken 5 of the white center posts. As far as the center post goes, you can try adding another loop or two around the white post. This w... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I just discovered that the "Teflon" tape that I tried on the XLO wire is not Teflon (per the local hardware store). I went there to get another roll and discovered this. The Teflon tape that I just purchased has no adhesive (which is better for ou... | |

| A good 2ch preamp? Paul, a friend uses the Creek with one of the Aleph/Volks amps with good results. I almost auditioned it in my system, but he had forgotten the remote @ home (Palm Springs) and the unit had been left on mute. LOL. Kitch said that the Foreplay prea... |
