| KR Audio KT150 KRs well surpassed my previous KT88 selections.Much more convincing presentation. | |
| What'd You Get For Xmas? A set of KR KT88s for my amps. | |
| Are tubes psychological? Have an Amp with six KT88s on top of each monoblock.Generally listen in the dark. Except for the tube glow. Gotta say they make the perfect light once your eyes adjust. Sounds pretty good as well. | |
| Speakers for triode tube amps I love my Zu Def 4s. They have integrated the subs so well and offer the ability to tune the speaker to the room. | |
| Which Phono Pre? The Allnic H7000 has balanced outs, handles multiple carts. LCR. Call Albert Porter. | |
| Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you? Xenolith, that sounds like a sweet amp. I remember remarkably the decrease in noise with my Audiopax M 100s. MC is correct as to the "quiet" in analog. Sorry but the digital is just unsettling in some way. I can't quite get at the music. Terry9 he... | |
| SQ vs. Music Conversely, in college there was a band we all liked live. The songwriter was creative, the musicians impeccable, the energy always stimulating. Album comes out flat. Just doesn't sound good. 30 years later took a date to see them. She says,"why a... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? Looking at an article form Sublime Acoustic they noted that "the capacitor and inductor values drift with temperature. When you turn up the volume the values will begin to drift, which causes the effective crossover frequency and other characteris... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? There is coherency in single driver designs that eliminates quite a bit of IMD due to crossovers. A heated up crossover can cause compression, particularly the bass/midrange crossover, and bring a hard presentation if driven. I personally apprecia... | |
| Dedicated power There's a Torus on HI FI Shark today. For wire use JPS Labs Power in wall cable. It's 10 gauge but probably one of the best for noise rejection.When I set up my system originally there was noise that you couldn't hear but it did a number on my hig... | |
| Dedicated power I'm a balanced power fan. Equi=Tech, Torus, Balanced Power Technologies(out of business but buy used and they last forever). | |
| Differential Balanced Sound Quality Have had both and I must say that while the balanced front end was not of the quality that my present unbalanced front end now exhibits, there existed a depth in the music that was at times uncanny. Reducing the noise floor in my opinion is a crit... | |
| Atma-sphere MP-3 Mk III vs Alnic L-10000 OTL linestage + Allnic phono aotl Call Albert Porter and see if he has an Allnic H-7000 for sale. I have one and it's extremely quiet, plenty of gain and built like a tank. LCR unit. All tube, separate power supply. | |

| NOS Tung Sol 6550 VS Tung Sol 6550 New Production Have numerous KT88s, 6550s. The Mac tube amps from the 60s used either Genelex KT88S or Tung Sol 6550s. To me, and I just recently retired my MC60s, the TS 6550s gave these amps which had tube rectifiers, the most convincing reproduction. The new ... |
