| guitar solos where less is more Pehare, I'm glad you enjoy Teds playing as much as I. He improvised jazz and classical styles in that piece. Go to YouTube and search Arlen Roth When a man loves a woman. There are two versions, one in his home and another in a studio, the latter ... | |
| guitar solos where less is more Inna do you play guitar? If you do, you would appreciate how difficult it is to do what he did. You can find thousands who shred like Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteen (not knocking them as I do like their playing too) but rarely can you find who know... | |
| guitar solos where less is more I play the guitar and have many versions of Autumn Leaves on guitar. This is the most heartfelt rendition of the song on guitar I have ever heard. BTW, this was an improvisation by Ted Greene (RIP).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDuee6blvj8 | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly The Apogee Scintilla comes to mind for the Siver 900. They're Bobs favorite speakers. In personal communication, Bob has always stated he likes the sound of tubes over SS. The Cherry 180 is a special amp. Does things I would not have imagined tube... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly I gots a pair with the original vintage output transformers that Bob no longer has. One of the best soundstaging and imaging amps I've heard, better than my AtmaSphere M60, but not as smooth as the M60. Bass and dynamics is one of the best I've he... | |
| Problem with my Atma-Sphere M60 Thanks for your responses. Lapierre, Ralph told me it was most likely tube arcing that blew the fuse. Now, I have to check all the tubes in that mono block. Not fun. | |
| Problem with my Atma-Sphere M60 Roscoeii, don't worry. I know they're slow blow fuses. I figured out I need 3 amp fuse, not the 0.5 amp. I just looked at the fuses in the other working mono block to confirm which fuse I need. There are no 5 amp fuses on the M60. | |
| Problem with my Atma-Sphere M60 Thanks guys, I've already checked the owners manual. I have the latest version of the M60. The manual is not clear. It says I need a 0.5 amp fuse but when I took it to radioshack it was clear the fuse is 3 amp. The 0.5 amp fuse wire is very thin b... | |
| Tube amps with Apogee Scintilla's your thoughts ? Bob Carver has a pair of the Scintillas, the best speaker ever made according him. He has designed several tube mono blocks that has 1 ohm taps specifically for the speakers. The Cherry 180 (200 watts), Black Beauty (300 watts) and Siver Seven rem... | |
| How long it take before your system/amps sound Fiddler, I have a dedicated 2 channel audio room that has been extensively treated. The room is dead quiet...the noise floor is almost nonexistent...no traffic noise, no noise from household appliances, no electrical noise, etc. Listening at aroun... | |
| How long it take before your system/amps sound I have Atma-Sphere M60s in a medium sized room. In the summer, I can not leave them on for more than 45 minutes before the room gets too hot. The AC will kick in and the AC noise pretty much destroys my listening enjoyment. The M60 consumes 600 wa... | |
| How long it take before your system/amps sound Ami, I get your point about my DAC. My DAC has a inrush current problem at turn on that has been destroying rectifier tubes, so it may be better just to leave it on. | |
| How long it take before your system/amps sound Interesting...such varying responses. I would not leave my amps and DAC on 24/7 because it sucks up a lot of electricity and shorten tube life. But it's a shame I have to wait so long to have my system sound so effortless, open, and natural. I wou... | |
| AC regenerator I guess I'm the only one who has not had an enthusiastic experience with AC regenerators. I've found restricted dynamics with it in my system despite reviews stating otherwise. However, it did clean up the sound. | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range For box speakers, I vote for the Hyperion 936 or 968. For planar, a used Maggie 3.6R (or 3.7 if you stretch a little more), but Maggies require more care in setup and high current and high power amp to wake up. |
