| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? How old are you and how long have you been using THC?I’m not a narc -just curious... | |
| ARC Ref 210...tube virgin adg101 is right. It's usually the norm to use a great tube preamp with any number of SS amps (sticking with mono amps is a good plan). I've had my eye on a Pass 250.8 (stereo) and Pass 100.8 (monos). | |
| ARC Ref 210...tube virgin I owned an ARC CL-60 tube amp which I traded for a new VT-100. It, apparently, had a bad 6550 power tube (discovered by dealer the next day). I had no idea something was wrong. The point is losing a tube doesn’t always mean a catastrophe.Good luck... | |
| Who's absorbing the cost? Music Direct took back a defective (dished) Classic Records Zeppelin album from me. It was an exchange for a new one -this was when they first came out. Don't know what their policy is these days. | |
| Mobile Fidelity Introduces UD1S Analog I wonder if MoFi will use the clear, super virgin vinyl pioneered by Classic Records? | |

| SET amps (almarro vs decware) Think I forgot to mention I owned the "A" model not the "B".As the "B" model is not self bias, I can't see why the "B" would require less manual biasing than the "A". Maybe I had cheap tubes? | |
| You can only take 5 albums to a deserted Island... Didn't we do this two months ago? | |
| SET amps (almarro vs decware) The Almarro requires biasing every time it is used (and usually needs it).Bias tabs are up-front under tubes so convenient at least.So much for ease of ownership (it does sound good, however). | |
| What's going on with the audio market? These locations are too isolated. I want to be in the Nashville area (the hub of the wheel) which is a days drive from most anywhere in the country. I hear it will be a long time until any pot progress is made there (Bible belt) short of the Feds ... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? This may be the "Big Payoff" for us loyals who spent our disposable income on gear instead of boring things like houses. If you've paid your dues and know what's what, you can (finally) pick up some bargains and have a reference quality system for... | |
| Anyone have the Pass Labs X260.8 amps? Opinions? Yes, would like to know how good an ARC Ref 5SE preamp mated with a Pass 250.8 would sound. Speakers most likely Dali Epicon 8 or Proac Carbon Pro 8. | |
| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case The article says Randy California chose not to make a claim.In this "Spirit", the matter should be dropped. | |
| Dynamics In A Speaker All things being equal, the 12 inch will be louder (moving more air) and will do low frequencies better. Dynamics has to do with speed (the cone starting and stopping) and minimum and maximum loudness. | |
| Dynamics In A Speaker It's how powerful the magnet is and how lite and strong the diaphragm material is. |
