| Keith Jarrett Interview about Rio on NPR I heard it on my way home from work when it aired. It was an interesting interview and I'd like to pick Rio up for myself. Thanks for the reminder. | |
| Melody Gardot Live Thanks for the link. I'm a HUGE Nelody Gardot fan and agree with your 99% statement. | |
| Replaced stock McIntosh 12ax7a with gold lion ecc8 Matched do the same thing. It doesn't matter. They're all a little different because they're basically handmade. No filament or plate or getter is the same. They all differ a little bit. How much gas and air is sucked out of them and how much gas ... | |
| Replaced stock McIntosh 12ax7a with gold lion ecc8 I forgot to mention that if your plates are glowing, that's a bad thing and means your bias of off. You can see that if there's a glowing vertical line down the length of the tube. | |
| Replaced stock McIntosh 12ax7a with gold lion ecc8 The filament in your new tubes is hidden behind the plates more than the ones that came with your amp. This in turn makes it (the glow) harder to see. If you see anything you know its heating and doing it's job. | |

| Audiolab 8200cd and dac I've owned the 8200CDQ for a month now and love it. I do love the filters but they started to drive me crazy because I was switching filters midway though songs. I bout the CDQ so I could buy a used solid state amp to run in the summer (own a tube... | |
| Bad Tube? Which one? So I guess I should have mentioned that my CDP is also a preamp. The issue was the volume on the CDP was turned up all the way and was clipping the input to my amp. I can't take credit for figuring this out. It was my amazing local salon owner tha... | |
| How Many Audiophiles Have Do You Know? I've never met one. I've met some people that think they're crazy, and they're the ones that listen to music in their cars. I sure hope the guys coming to install new windows on Thursday morning aren't the first ones. I'm going to work after I exp... | |
| Habeth SHL5 tweeter and supertweeter models This is all I've ever been able to find about the tweeter / super tweeter from 6 Moons."a custom SEAS 25mm aluminum dome tweeter and a SEAS 20mm titanium dome supertweeter" | |
| Lou Reed/Metallica "Lulu" just awful Thanks for the heads up. As far as I'm concerned Lou is perfectly capable of putting out garbage. I do have a lot of respect for him, but geez, get a grip. Leave us with something Lou. | |
| Bad Tube? Which one? I do have a spare matched quad of KT90's. I'll call Mark at Rogue and also get some spare 12's. | |
| Looking to upgrade my setup. Love the NAD integrated's. Good choice. | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? The only good budget amps are used amps that weren't budget when they were new. If you want new you're looking at $1700 to get something that won't catch fire while you're at work. You'd be best off at your local salon doing A/B comparisons with t... | |
| Sadurni Acoustics - anyone hear these? $24,000 but they're selling them on Agon for $18,700 obo right now. |
