| Single-ended amps with Martin Logans To clarify my question above - has anyone used an SET preamp with a SS amp and does it have any of the characteristics of a SET amp? | |
| Single-ended amps with Martin Logans Since SET amps are out what tube preamp would offer the 3D and "they are here" sound of a SET? A continueing thought in many of the threads is that the preamp (a tube preamp) makes the system. Would you be able to get some of the SET sound with a ... | |
| Interconnects for Tube amps Carl: Would you be interested in demoing a pair of the Homegrown's (broken in 1.0 meter)? I have two sets now as well as the HT's and am willing to ship one to you for evaluation. I would like to hear your opinion as I am certain that you will hav... | |
| Bananas vs. Spades Swampwalker: I get it now. As you said, I would skip the extra connector if possible though I do not have any suggestions for supporting the cable. And, I know what you mean about the clumsiness of the fat cables as I have difficulty keeping my HT... | |
| Bananas vs. Spades Swampwalker: I am always confused as to why people use connecters at all. I use bare wire. I tried Kimber bananas on my Kimber wire and found that the bare connection sounded better. The only thing is that I have been told that they should be clea... | |
| Interconnects for Tube amps I use Homegrown Audio Super Silver interconnects $70.00 and pure silver on my SS system and they sound super. I also use Harmonic Tech. Truthlinks for a change of pace and for poor recordings. I don't see that they would sound worse on a tube setu... | |
| what is everybody listening to right now Forever Tango "The Eternal Dance" with Lisandro Adrover. Not the best recording but some "Nice Tango". Also "For the Love of Ella Fitzgerald" two CD set from Verve/PolyGram and "Blown to Smithereens" the best of. All from a thrift shop and mint fo... | |
| 3-D Imaging: How?? The best 3D image I have heard came from the little Zen SET that I played around with a few weeks ago. I have been reading about SET's in general and this seems to be their general style. It far surpassed any push pull tube amps that I have used i... | |
| Relief? The New Digital Players Hi Robert: My first impressions of SACD came from posts at this site and as I mentioned a few dealers (two to be exact). Since then I have been going through the threads at Audio Asylum and have been getting favorable views of the format and a bet... | |
| Relief? The New Digital Players Jrg: Thanks for the info. and the site. $1500.00 is a real world price for a player. I will probably wait until there are a few more choices available. We are expecting a nice chunk of change and the deal is that I get to spend as much on gear as ... | |
| Relief? The New Digital Players Mfgrep: Your point and the cost now make me think that new CD's would most likely be produced in both new and "old" formats for many many years to come. I was not aware that the new players were that expensive. If they are all that high they are n... | |
| Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?... "considered" | |
| Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?... Has anyone seen "Fabio's" hifi setup, it was on some news show a while back? One planar speaker (of the pair) was quoted as being $80,000.00 I beleive. I wonder if $50,000.00 cables would be condidered overkill. | |
| Best small/monitor/bookshelf speakers? Camadeco: I am not certain that I listened to the "DM". I listened to a model 302 that I found to be a little too rough sounding for my taste, but do not know if it was DM, Series 2 or what. I listened to a 601 model (again I do not know which ser... |
