| In what ways modern speakers better the old Tannoy Gongalee. Interesting thread. You didn't mention what model 15 incher of Tannoy you were comparing to the proac. I am a huge fan of Stewart Tylers speaker design and have owned the response 2,the response 3 and the response 4. Still listen to the ... | |
| One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened? There were 3 versions of these ribbons. The original design utilized a pure silk ribbon and are significantly better than both the later mylar ribbons and the polypropelene version [last version]The earliest ratshack speakers used a mylar ribbon,t... | |
| Looking for the best pre amp As Nrchy alluded to earlier, It would be appropriate to mention your pricepoint for a preamp here. There are a ton of good tubed preamps out there at all levels. | |
| Has Anyone heard the new little Bystons? Hello Eril. I have not heard the b-100 however,in my honest opinion.... the 2b is the most musical sounding amplifier in their line up. | |
| ARC D115 Mk2 vs ARC M300 Dmc. the sp-10 is a keeper. | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay Tbg. Give it a rest pal,you know your skating on some really thin ice here. | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay Playntheblues. A rather profound statement to make in a public forum sir. How many units do you think has he repaired? | |
| 2A3 Recommendations & NOS Noise Hi Howard. I used to use a pair of wright 3.5 monos to drive the tweeter in my Tannoy Westminsters. I agree the sovtek 2a3 is a good sounding valve in the wrights. The Nos rca 2a3 mono plate or bi-plate tubes should not be any noisier than your so... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Patrick.Hang in there partner. Steve is going to send me his syrah and I will try to source out the bugs in it. cheers David | |
| has anyone heard zingali overture 1's? de capo's? Hi Jtn. How much space are you working with? Trying to replicate the magic of the quad 57 is a very tall order to be sure. Never heard the Zingali's however the decappo's mated to a good vintage tube amp can get you very close indeed. However,a ve... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Gang. Hey Kevin, congrats sir. Abill, do you know the output of the Stanton? It may be a little high for the phono stage of the cortese and could overload it. | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 Sirspeedy. Well said sir. Your experience with ARC phono stages mirror mine with the ARC gear. It's great to find a particular tube type that fits the bill and I concurr with your assessment of the mullards. Throughout the years with the arc sp-3a... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Swampy. What rectifier are you using and does it test strong? | |
| What`s with the Hyperion HPS 938 Roy. Interesting.... Sound similar to the proac 3? | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 Sirspeedy.. Ediswan did not munfacture tubes. They are an English company that rebrands tubes sourced from many tube manufacturers and suppliers. I have a quad of ecc88's branded ediswan that are actually late 70's seimens. I also have Ediswann br... |
