| loose tubes Thanks Kitch: I was thinking more on the lines of free or under $10 for enough material to do all of my tube sockets and also to isolate the four little "things" in a TDS Passive Audiophile from the chassis. My wife doesn't have any "cellulose" ye... | |
| Techno Anyone? Here are a couple of good Techno CD's. 1. "Tibetan Trance, Happy China" on PST Music/DBA Phophecy, it is Tibetan dance/trance music. 2. "GOODING, songs from the unrealized film script, FACTORY BLUE". It received super reviews in the "Alternative P... | |
| 2 Questions on General Music Preferences I love music also, but try not to knock other people's choices. I am certain that many would not enjoy some of my favorite music and visa versa. If the recording quality is good then that is a bonus, but never a deciding factor in choosing source ... | |
| loose tubes Detlof: I think the difference in sound just comes from lifting the glass tube globe (the bottom of it on my signal tubes) and the plastic tube base (on my output tubes) up off of the tube socket. My tube sockets have slightly raised centers. This... | |
| Misconceptions of Speakers DanVet went immediately to his desk calendar following his post and proceeded to make many, many small X's on it. He is a man of his word. | |
| What is the best 6SN7 driver tube? The last pair of Ken-Rad's that I tracked on Ebay went to Mr Blume of Coincident fame. He must like them in his setup, unless they were a gift for someone else. Yes, I am a busy body, so don't start. | |
| loose tubes As long as the pins are making good contact and the tubes do not "vibrate" out, it should be fine (SEE DISCLAIMER BELOW). I do the same thing to the tubes in my Audion Silver Night (both signal and output) and use the tip of a thin fingernail file... | |
| How to test those NOS tubes Detlof: I am pretty sure that special test amps are needed in order to measure noise. Maybe there is a way (with additional equipment) to test them while running in your amp, but this is just a guess? Most testers just measure for GM and MU (think... | |
| reliable tube sources Maybe they are spent as the Sovteks usually do vocals last on the list. When they are on the down side they start to sound bright (brittle) and thin. Is this what you are experiencing? The Audioasylum.com tube forum should have the search feature ... | |
| Speaker Cables for Pathos CLassic One?? Darn, I saw a "SOLD" sign on the ad and thought that "we" would be "hearing" from you. | |
| Misconceptions of Speakers Come on Kelly, any speaker that starts with an "Aye" has done time in the JH facility, as well as a few others on the side. Well, I'm finished with mer homework for today. | |
| Any Opinions about Innersound ESL amps? Hbrandt: Sorry is not good enough. I just got off the phone with Roger and he will be stopping by this evening to pick up the amps. Better luck next time, it was good while it lasted. | |
| Misconceptions of Speakers Thanks for the info Jeff. Glad to hear that it does exist and it's a wonderfull (no strings attached) program to have, IMO, in order to stimulate small business. | |
| Speaker Cables for Pathos CLassic One?? So, you got it eh? | |
| Misconceptions of Speakers Regarding R&D costs, isn't this partly subsidized to Canadian manufacturers? It seems that I read that they have a huge, well equiped, research facility available to their manufacturers. Of course this would also create a great deal of travel ... |
