| Leonard Cohen Tribute - Here It Is Jennifer Warnes album of Leonard Cphen, including Duet with Leonard "Joan of Arc" a fantastic image conjured up by Leonard. It is so darn easy to post links, why don't more people post links | |
| 1992 Stereophile on speaker placement should be required reading My comment about not understanding using 8wpc tube amps is all about listening at ’normal’ or nearly concert level volumes in main systems/larger rooms. i.e. I use Luxman 10 wpc to drive AR-2ax, sensitivity 91 in my small office. Luxman says 10wp... | |
| Luxman Knockoffs or Counterfeits? luxman history up to 2006 http://www.luxman.com/company/ anyone have a link to info 2006 to present? | |
| 1992 Stereophile on speaker placement should be required reading Once again I yap about the benefit of Level Controls for ANY speaker in ANY room (L-Pads, not POTs) from the article, emphasis mine" "The first change was to use a more powerful amplifier. Better stability and control, as well as a superior over... | |
| Cannot complete listing for selling on audiogon support here is very quick! | |
| A Question About Time Alignment I was taught the same about time alignment, slanted front speakers ..., the amount of time alignment difference is relative to seated listening distance of course, and the differences are very very very small, yet it could be bunk. Related is the... | |
| Luxman Knockoffs or Counterfeits? A heck of a lot of people use voltage transformers successfully. The only issue is really cheap ones may hum. My JVC Victor TT81 is 100V. I got a decent inexpensive 120/100 transformer. 120 comes from my Furman P18000 which has tremendous capacit... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? BIAS Meter. OK, paraphrasing someone else: a. setting bias is like setting the idle to a car's engine. b. It's about when they are doing nothing, ready, but not about when they are busy amplifying, correct? Bias effects tubes at their idle sta... | |
| CD/SACD Changer for the lazy audiophile....suggestions? I agree, Sony. I used to be more social, have big company picnics, frequent parties. I kept both a single player and a changer in the system for parties. Now the changer is down in my garage/shop system. Some changers have the controls above the... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? You advice is very good, IF people will spend the money for ’real’ testers. I read very little about member’s tube tester results here. My friends don’t have them, they rely on me. Can you give a short list of testers, perhaps a few to look for, ... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? Yep, Friday I bought a DVD/CD player for a friend at a rummage sale, $15.. Saturday a different friend brought his expensive CD player to compare with my Sony xa5400ES. Both friends units directly to my Cayin Integrated Tube amp using it’s 6sn7... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? invalid. I'm saying, let go of perfection, go for basic knowledge, I think most people will NOT spend for a big/better one. IF it just finds shorts, not knowing and continuing using them can be quite harmful to your transformer, amp, If they a... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? A small inexpensive tester is still good to have. Better than none. I think, if you have tubes, it is ridiculous not to have a simple inexpensive one. You leave yourself in the dark. They test for shorts and tell you, bad, weak, strong, and you c... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? OP this Mercury looks like a variation of the Accurate 157. Perhaps Accurate made it for Mercury, who knows Seller says it works and takes Paypal, so if it doesn’t work, you have Paypal protection. ................................... ... | |
| KT-150 Tubes- Push Farther or Replace? OP I use an Accurate Model 157, this is slightly larger 257. Don't let the rust on the hinges scare you, they all corrode/rust. here's the one I use You need to know it can test your tube types. I got a 257 for a friend, k... |
