| pre amp tubes and gain this is very helpful. thanks all. | |
| room setup question Thanks Jdoris, that's helpful. Forutnately not the case here.Tpreaves -- no worries, I've gotten used to your "I am the consummate skeptic" point of view. My response is with an analogy: suppose you test drive a car and you think you like it, but ... | |
| room setup question Hey Jim (Sounds_real)! Nice to hear from you and thanks for the helpful (and humorous) response.--d | |
| room setup question My point is that based on some LIMITED testing, we don't hear a difference, but for those of us who understand room acoustics far better than I do, I'm interested in theoretically what the issues might be, as a partial way to decide if I need to s... | |
| room setup question Oh...and for those of you who would correctly point out that I should listen with the chair in that position and then remove it and see what I hear....both my wife and I, who are very careful listeners with good ears cannot hear much difference wh... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? I'm a fan. But there are substantial differences from model to model and brand to brand. My Bel Canto Ref 1000s sounded good to me but a bit thin and dry. I switched to Kharma MP-150s and the improvement was dramatic. These amps sound very similar... | |
| Comparing Synergistic Teslaplex and Jena Cryoed Thanks Hooper. Very helpful. | |
| tube rolling first-timer Yes certainly sseems I'm on the right track to experiment here and will do so with interest. Plenty of agreement on that score. Intersting, Jim that you prefer RCAs to Telefunken. I've got a lot of listening to do.... | |
| tube rolling first-timer Lenny -- that's a quite reasonable thought, and where I was initially. I guess from what I've seen the Sovtek tubes aren't that highly regarded, but also, to get new ones Nagra charges quite a bit (they specially select them) Then there's curiosit... | |
| tube rolling first-timer Thanks Jim. Very helpful. I am going to try some Mullards at some point. Just doing this gradually. | |
| tube rolling first-timer Thanks again Rick. Much appreciated.--dan | |
| tube rolling first-timer Hey Rick, thanks very much. The PL-L only takes a single 12at7. Maybe that means it's not in the signal path and is just used for for volume attenuation? So I can switch all of the tubes to the Telefunkens (the two ax7s and the one at7) or I could... | |
| Need advice on speakers only a few inches thick The Monitor Audio Radius series seems to fit the bill. Look at the Radius 180, 225, or 250. All of them are 4" deep, and well within the price range you indicate | |
| is a center channel really necessary?? I agree with Shadorne that 4.1 is much preferrable to 2.1 for an enjoyable movie experience. I also agree that a poor mix down can make the dialogue hard to understand. But in my experience you don't need to spend a ton of money to get a pre/pro o... | |
| is a center channel really necessary?? I got rid of the center channel on my hybrid home theater (4.1) 2 channel (actualy 2.1) system -- using home theater bypass on preamp to connect a pre/pro to the stereo pre-amp.Never looked back. Didn't miss it. Now that I have separated 2-channel... |
