| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live I suspect that some form of Aromatherapy would be required in order to truly recreate a live musical performance @ home. Did anyone see John Waters "Hairspray" in the 80's? DeKay | |
| How much does rear horn loading add to full range driver? I've listened to numerous BLH Fostex cabinet designs using drivers in the 3"-8" range and could hear usable info down to around 50Hz, depending on how close they were positioned to the front wall/corners. This said, the sound down there was some... | |
| Solid state to tube Lastly: I thought that this inexpensive/well reviewed ($1500 300B based DH/SET) amplifier might be a fun option, but due to the size of your listening room I'm not certain if it would work. I gathered that you would like to limit expenditures @... | |
| Solid state to tube Last up is a kit amp by Bottlehead (I've used their early inexpensive offerings for the past 20 years, thus the interest in this new product). I was not aware of it until a recent "user" post that I read here on A'Gon. If you are not interested ... | |
| Solid state to tube Second up is a very inexpensive preamp that is, IMO, a tube rollers dream (and/or nightmare depending upon the individual). I have gobs of the various tubes it can use (all old production) so it would be a nice dream, and fun, for me. https://ww... | |
| Solid state to tube If you want to start with your existing power amps and start by adding a tube preamp these are the less expensive models that interest me, and I've been using tube gear (predominantly) since the mid 70's. I'm out of touch with auditioning recent ... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live richopp: I also have difficulty placing things during that time period for some reason. Duane died when I was a sophomore in HS, so that narrowed it down to 71 (as I recall that it was around Halloween). I saw them in Des Moines, Winter of the ... | |
| Solid state to tube What model are your 3A's (isn't Lintegre a YBA model)? Also, how large is the listening room? Wondering if lower powered DH/SET, SET, Parallel SE, OTA or PP amps are an option. DeKay | |

| Epic Popular Songs 61: "Marquee Moon" is one of my favorite "Wave" albums. I purchased it after seeing them here in 1978, and later on the Red album. DeKay | |
| Snake oil of the year? I don't know about this being "snake oil". I've found that judiciously placed Illuminati Stickers do increase my performance. DeKay | |
| Boutique caps in oil... reliable? I once balked on purchasing Jensen PIO caps due to reports of leakage/failure, but this was approx. 20 years ago. They are still around, so I assume that it was just a bad production run that made it to market. DeKay | |
| Turntable isolation Look @ E.A.R. isolation feet/footers. Years ago when I used them (3 different types) there were weight spec's available online, but I don't see them with current ads. Here's the company and Parts Connection has a couple of models in stock. ... | |

| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live "standing on the side of the stage in 1972 and listening to Duane Allman and Dickey Betts play live is about as close to "real" as I have ever heard." Duane died in 1971. Did you mean "surreal"? DeKay |
