| WAF Help Please All --These are great. I'll look into the tech flex and the braided stuff.Thanks.-dan | |
| Is it okay to talk around your speakers? The best thing about this thread is that it prompted Al to give a totally untechnical response. And no, Al, I am not busting on you -- your very informative replies are always much appreicated. | |
| Is the new Apple TV better than Squeezebox? I have Apple TVs and a Squeezebox. Both work well. Wouldn't give either the edge sonically | |
| Pass X1 and Rowland Capri Preamps I agree with Swanny in some respects -- trying them both is best, as both Swanny and I did. I didn't think the XP20 was lean sounding -- it just sounded leaner and less musical to me, in my system, than the Capri did. I also agree with Swanny's ch... | |
| tube rolling first-timer Interesting on the 7025's and thanks for the recommendations. I tried RCA 5751s and thought them not as good in my system as the RCA long black plate 12AX7s. The Mullards I tried were both short plate 12AX7s from the 60s (nice) but also the long p... | |
| Pass X1 and Rowland Capri Preamps Hello JL35. I got a Nagra PL-L. For me, space is at a premium, and I really appreciate smaller footprint components. The Nagra and Capri prove that small is beautiful. | |
| tube rolling first-timer Hi Samhar. I have settled on Mullards and RCAs as my favorites which I prefer over the stock tubes. I also have some Bugle Boys to try. The Telefunkens and Genelex were not my cup of tea. | |

| Funny video about high end audio/WAF Loved it. So did my wife. thanks! | |
| Ayre QB9 / Apple TV right. The AppleTv's digital outputs are either via HDMI or toslink. | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight All -- it takes about five minutes (or less) to install an outlet. Admittedly it takes a lot more time to listen to them. But of course, we all love listening anyway. | |
| best towers for $3000 ? Totem Forest. Although may not be enough bass for you. | |
| vintage '50s 12AX7: Mullard, Amperex BB, Brimar Theses are very helpful. Much appreciated. |
