| Tubes vs Solid State I can't say one is better than the other. I've used tube for about 5 years and I've loved it, although I miss ss like crazy. That's where I started in the 70's and it carried me all the way until around 2007 when I got my first tubes. When matched... | |
| User's manual for a NAD 5040 turntable I would look for 5040's that come up for sale and ask if the seller would email you a PDF or even sell one for his or her time. I just did a bit of searching and it doesn't look like its too easy to find one. Have you tried NAD? | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Thanks for the information. I use the Porter Ports and my system leans towards warm. I may be moving to ss so this could be a helpful tweak if I follow though. | |
| What time do you wear? I wear a Victorinox Alliance 241474. It's a nice quartz movement with a black dial, black leather strap and shows the date. That's all I personally need so it took me awhile to find something I liked with only the features that I needed. I guess i... | |
| Octave Audio integrated amplifiers Dedicated Audio is selling a show demo V40se in black for $4195. | |
| Do we still need 6550 or KT88 tubes? The more the merrier. We need them all.The KT120 and KT150 aren't a direct replacement for all 6550 and KT88 based amps such as the Rogue Cronus and I'm sure many others. | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida Call the guys at Jolida and ask them. I'm sure they have ideas. | |
| Hearing issue I wouldn't do the equalization thing without consulting your doctor first. | |
| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control Audiolab 8200cdq. Great unit at around $1400 new. Read the reviews online. | |
| Hearing issue My PCP tells his patience to not use q-tips. He prefers you flush them out while taking a shower than jamming a q-tip in your ear.Take Rar1's advice and head back to the doctor. | |
| Tube amp repair recommendations - Western NY Seriously though, everyone needs to go to Audio Classics just to see the volume of vintage Mac gear shipping to Japan. They also get tourists from Japan coming through on tour busses. The place is impressive from that aspect. It's not the most imp... | |
| Tube amp repair recommendations - Western NY Audio Classics is 2 hours and 45 minutes for my home in the east side of Rochester. It would probably take you 4 hours to get to Audio Classics. Can you drop off some wings from Duff's if I meet you at the thruway? Hot with extra blue cheese. | |
| Speaker cables for B&W?? I would contact Cable Co. and take advantage of their lending library. They can steer you in the right direction. | |
| To Ride and Not Go Deaf What I don't get is the full dressers with the stereo blasting at amazingly loud levels. It's good to read your posts about actually trying to protect your hearing as opposed to destroying it. | |
| Hegel h200 low level listening "Its my experience that some speakers have a problem maintaining their full range (ness) at low volume and not the electronics."That actually hadn't dawned on me but seems like it could make sense to me. I also agree on the line level outputs but ... |
