| How do I dampen my listening environment? I think it was me that mentioned the mirror thing. I did a lot of research on the subject, forgot most of it. It's not seeing the light reflected, it's being able to see the tweeter's reflection in the mirror. You have someone move the mirror acro... | |
| Milton Nascimento Thanks Oddmorning. Yes, I bought Clube da Easquina as a Christmas gift to my wife. I'm so glad I did. We love every song. What a ride. After we played it in it's entirety on Christmas morning, she reminded me that it was her CD. She's very lucky.I... | |
| Anyone have If that's a active preamp it might have clipped. I had that happen years ago and it was off to the shop. I small smoke signal came out of the top of the amp. I never played music that loud again, which in turn has increased my enjoyment of music. | |
| Speakers that like corners Horn Shoppe Horns. They're made for the corners. 6 Moons likes them a lot. Very nice pricing on these as well. | |
| Milton Nascimento Thanks Musicslug. I'm going to check that out. I think I might try Pieta also. I've been reading some reviews that are very favorable. | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? I agree with Macdadtaxes. I have ELP's Brain Salad Surgery and I don't know why. I got sick of all the old crap that's been in rotation forever. I've seen more than half of the bands mentioned on this thread and with the exception of Steely Dan, I... | |
| 12ax7's to roll Somec59. Your post made me very happy. To know that someone prefers tubes that cost $35/pair more than NOS tubes at $200/pair is very exciting indeed.I really appreciate the information you have all provided me. I'm also thankful for this website.... | |
| 12ax7's to roll Superwolf. Yes, the Rogue did tame the speakers. Enough so that I don't even recognize them anymore. It's so nice to not have to worry about it any longer. Now I'm able to enjoy listening and researching new music. | |
| what do you use to remove your tubes? Jea48. I pulled them and the preamp 12au7 is a Sylvania. Out of the other two 12au7's, only one of them I could read '12au7'. I got nothing off of the 12ax7's. I think they're probably all Sylvanias. I think I'll shoot Mark O'Brien from Rogue and ... | |
| Tube Amp recommendation I agree with Audioman58. I'm not a flag flyer but there's some great deals on US made gear. I recently purchased a used Rogue Cronus Magnum from Agon and it's been like having a new born baby. I think about it all day and can't wait to come home t... | |
| 12ax7's to roll Great info and thank you all for the replies. I'm going to take my time and talk to some of the dealers as recommended. Do 12ax7 / 12au7's last 10,000 hours? I thought I read that somewhere. I have this fear of having a tube go on a Friday night r... | |
| jumping back in, where should i start? This is my personal opinion so please don't knock me for it. I just sold a brand new Rotel amp and preamp because it was so bright I couldn't listen to it for more than 10 minutes without losing my mind. I realize this was brand new and the older ... | |
| What is your favorite tube for a preamplifier ? Orpheus. Why is the RCA 12au7 your favorite? My Rogue Cronus takes a 12au7 and I'm currently using the Sylvania that came with the amp. | |
| Bass reinforcement for very large room Paul. I apologize for my snide remarks I posted last night. A little too much Holdiay cheer for me I guess. Good luck in remedying the problem. | |
| Bass reinforcement for very large room It sounds to me as though you should quit listening to music and finish up your home theatre with some subwoofers. Your house has the acoustics of a mens bathroom at Disney World. What's your room treated with? It sounds like you may live in Calif... |
