| Stereophile's refusal to review more low Rayhall: I have worked for quite a few companies (large ones) in my life and only one out of the many had what I would call integrity (I stayed with them for 11 years) and yes, I do think that it is too much to ask in the real world. In other word... | |
| Buying tubes 2nd Hand Boy, that's a slew of 6922's. I just use one at a time for the input tube on my amp and one 5687 for the driver (the amp has a volume pot). Because of this I can buy singles and the only matched tubes that I have picked up in quantity are Amperex ... | |
| Buying tubes 2nd Hand Justlisten: What are you using them in and do you use matched pairs/quads or singles? | |
| vibrapods or cones? Kitch: I have the less expensive Mapleshade cones (Surefeet), but prefer the Neuance shelf (supported on upturned spikes) to the Pod/Maple/cone sandwich that I used to use on the CD player. The shelf is the same or less than the cost of a sandwich... | |
| Should 2nd. Buyer Receive Guarantee ? It's their money, their company and their reputation and it's up to them (the manufacturer's). More important to me is, that if I have a warranty, how the service is, if needed. I seem to have read a lot of horror stories about products under warr... | |
| World Music: Great Suggestions, please? Hi Greg: Our CD's are very disorganized right now, but here are a few that I was able to locate.1. "Georgian Voices", The Rustavi Choir, Elektra/NoneSuch2. "Robert Burns, the compete songs, Linn Records3. "Forever Tango, the Eternal Dance", InterA... | |
| vibrapods or cones? Kitch: Before I switched to the Neuance shelf (for the tube amp), I used the Pods under a Maple cutting board with the amp resting on the board on its stock feet. This helped to clear up the sound, maybe because I use a 6922 type input tube and th... | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low I think that we are expecting too much from a business for profit. I see the mags as being a source of cheap entertainment (if you enjoy reading about gear) and would not expect them to run as a nonprofit consumer mag (though I doubt that they are... | |
| Citation 12 / Advent 300 Match Classic: Can't believe that you found one. I have not seen one for sale for years. We "typed" about this amp quite some time ago (maybe at AA). It will run the original Advents well in a reasonably sized room (think you were talking about a baseme... | |
| 2nd system at Lake home...advice? NAD makes an all in one tuner/amp/CD player that would be less expensive than the Linn (not quite as good as the Linn from what I have read), I have not listened to it, but still very good for the money it seems. If you look into the Linn (the lat... | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low My father worked for Meridith Publishing (Hearst) for 40 years and the subscription income does not even generally cover the printing expense of a magazine. It is the advertising dollars that make it profitable. I am not making any accusations aga... | |
| Buying tubes 2nd Hand I have purchased both NOS and used (test good) signal tubes from the following Ebay sellers. 1. K1dft and 2. Valves31. All tubes were of high quality (sound wise). If you are looking for tubes for a special application, I will suggest trying to co... | |
| Stupid DAC question Ehider: What digital cable do you use and is it one of the TOS link ones? I have only used the coaxial input on my DAC and do not have any experience with the optical input. Oh, and which model Aiwa do you have? I seem to recall the numbers 35 and... | |
| How many would be surprised? Hi Wirehead: I have auditioned the copper version of the "tape" IC's but not the silver one. The copper (30 gage) version lacked bass and was also a bit rolled off on top compared to what I am used to. I figure that if anything in a book (or on th... | |
