| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions So where is a good place to get CDs that are recorded well. I would love to be able to listen to Aerosmith without getting disgusted and switching to another CD. | |
| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions Zambrang, If you found a good combo then trust your own ears. I like the TAD, Vandy combo as the Vandys are not overly bright and soundstage wide and deep so the music from better rock recordings spreads out. However, one of my favorite bands is A... | |
| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions Zambrang,I still have my TAD 60 with Tung Sol 6550s and I just put some Amperex made in usa 12AU7s in. I listen to 99% rock and with the Vandys, (86DB I think) this has turned out to be a real nice combo for my ears. The TS and Amperex has changed... | |
| Interconnects for TT Tvad,Received the Mogamis. Big improvement over the digitals that I was using. Makes the phono very listenable. Great value @ 35 plus shipping. | |
| Interconnects for TT Thanks TVAD. I ordered a pair. The ones that I have now are digital ICs made by someone in my audio group here in Houston. While they sound pretty good from CD to Pre, I think that I am losing something in the TT to pre connection. | |
| Interconnects for TT I am using a high output MC (~2.5MV). Any recommendations that come to mind?Eagleman | |
| Cracle in one channel Thanks Reubent. Turned out that one of the RCA 12 AU7s were noisy. I replaced with Amperex and unit is quiet again... | |

| Do tubes "burn in"? What is normally used to clean tube contacts? | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Ok, here is a question that may show my ignorance of this subject but, I will ask anyway. I have a TAD-60 AMP (60 WPC ultralinear).. It has 8 and 4 ohm terminals. I am running Vandersteen 2CE signatures which are rated at 7 ohms nominal and 4 ohms... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Divad, I am running a Tube Audio Design-60 with Vandersteen 2CE sigs (86DB I think. This amp runs 60 watts ultra and can be switched on the fly to triode (30 watts). This amp has plenty of juice for the vandys. I listen mostly to classic rock at r... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms I just checked the biasing on my TAD-60 as I just changed an output tube and had to make adjustments to get the balance right as it did not sound right after I changed the tubes. Turned out I had to readjust two out of three tubes. Then I checked ... | |
| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? Am I missing something here. I always considered makes like Sansui, Pioneer, JVC in a rather low fi league. Is there a sansui line that is a bit higher in terms of sound quality? You can get a nice DK Design Mk2 for $1500 used that should blow awa... | |
| Am I going crazy or? Bottom line is that people who try to sell pieces for ridiculously high prices still own the equipment. Its their own business if they don't want to lower their price. If you want the piece bad enough do what Newbee suggests and send the seller an... | |
| Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs I understand that there is a revision to the 2CE sigs that have the same midrange driver as the 3asigs. Has anyone out there heard them? I spoke with Richard with hopes that I could upgrade my 2CEsigs but, he said that they are not upgradable... |
