| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? Calvinj, keep me posted on your tube experiments. Do you have any other tube gear in your system? What is the rest of your system (amp, speakers, etc.)? I am running my EAR through a Primaluna Integrated Amp, so thinking I will be experimenting wi... | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? No, I own the Acute 3. The Acute 4 is two separate units and double the cost of the Acute 3. I bought my Acute 3 used so it is quite a lot more money, though I'm sure it would be fantastic. | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? Are you already getting tired of the Siemens? Why the change? Based on your previous posts, seemed like you really loved the Siemens. I just ordered a pair of Siemens from Brent Jessee and will let you know my thoughts. Should be burned in about ... | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? Calvinj, Do you know which Amperex 7308's you used? I know there is a white label, green label, and orange label, and also one's made in Holland and the USA. Each has a different sound, with the 1960's white label getting the best reviews for soun... | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? Calvinj, For the Siemen's tubes in the EAR Acute, is there any listening fatigue at all? Is there any warmth or is it straight neutral? Not looking for anything TOO clean or TOO analytical where it becomes bright. Trying to find a tube that is smo... | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? Calvinj, I looked on Upscale Audio's site for those Siemen's tubes you are using with the Acute, but they have about 4 different ones in the 6922 / 6DJ8 / 7308. Which specific ones are you using and how much did they cost? Plan on giving Kevin Dea... | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? I was also interested in the Mullard CV2493/6922 I saw on Upscale Audio. Anyone ever use these or the Gold Lion 6922's in the EAR Acute? | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? I have the EAR Acute 3 CD player and wondering about tube rolling myself. Has anyone tried the Genalex Gold Lion E88CC/6922's in the EAR Acute? I saw in the thread that one user loves the Siemen's 1960's but what about that tube did you like? What... | |
| Is it time for a phono stage? The Herron always looked like the best value and best tube phono stage, but I've looked more into the new Zesto Andros 1.2, as the reviews are raving about with its new updates and versatility with cartridges. Does anyone have any experience ownin... | |
| Is it time for a phono stage? I'm in the same boat, Rkbcpa55. Listening in the store doesn't help much, as your system will be much different and the room setup could impact the sound. That said, based on reviews and hearsay, I've never heard anything but great things about th... | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? But isn't the Shunyata not current limiting as well? Power Conditioners seems like a gamble for sure. I actually sent my Transparent Conditioner back because I didn't want to risk it based on the return policy. I am going to be more patient and pl... | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? Stringreen, Which power conditioners have you tried? Just want to find out more information to interpret your negatives of power conditioners. Thanks | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? I should preface my question by asking those people who really want to help to only answer. A sarcastic sentence is wonderful help, Devilboy. If you could care less, please don't answer anymore. | |
| looking for a new cd player........ I've personally not heard the Rega CD player, but in terms of value, many praise its musicality and detail for the money. It is always on the awards' lists and there is currently a Rega Apollo CD player that almost 70% off for $395 on audiogon. Th... | |
| Heimdall 2 vs. Frey 2 Tablejockey,I will look into tube rolling at some point. i currently have the EL34 stock tubes to start and will then contact Kevin Deal if I want to tinker and fine tune the sound more to my liking. What power cord and conditioner are you using a... |
