| Tubes....did I pass up a good deal? I was just speaking with Andy this week, and I believe that he said he just got in a bunch of NOS 6922's. Go with Andy...otherwise, there's just to much room for error out there! | |
| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 This is what I had been told by a high up source in the company. Any surface not properly secured will tend to resonate more at certain frequencies than one that is firmly secured. Again, a very easy fix or tweak. | |
| No Return Address?? As Jerry would say, "Newman!!!!" | |
| which headphones??? Megasam, I agree! I have both the Sen. 600 and the Grado SR-125. I am using a Headroom Cosmic (battery portable) amp, and the Sen. 600 is a far superior set of phones. However, it is much more difficult to drive and does not play as loudly. For cr... | |
| which headphones??? Grado has a new design for their pads on the ear cups. I recently replaced the original ones with the new style...MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE! | |
| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 Marakanetz, not to worry! And all tube DOES NOT necessarily make the sound of an item better than hybrid or all transistor! Also, your price of $1889- used, was that for the PH3 or the PH3SE? I think that I got the new price of a PH3 at $1495- fro... | |
| From a Newbie - How long should I wait? If you really want an item, email back again after 24 hours. It is possible that your email got lost in the 'digital post office'! I must be honost; if someone emails me with a lowball offer (50% or less than asking price) I will sometimes ignore ... | |
| How do you know when preamp tubes go bad? Watch for the upcoming FOX TV special, "When Good Tubes Go Bad!" | |
| aurios isolation and espresso Aurios will also help if you decide to make Cappuccino instead, and an earthquake hits while foaming the milk. Otherwise, it will be way too frothy! | |
| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 Marakanetz, the EAR 834P has 3 tubes not 4. If memory serves me correctly, they are 12AX7's. Further, the AR website says that the tubes in the PH-3 (6922's) are used for gain (output) and not as input tubes. The input is handled via solid state. ... | |
| No more music CDs without copy protection What ever happened with the Phillip's (the holder of the CD patent) decree? Last year, they stated that watermarked (copy protected) CD's could no longer use the term "CD" or "compact disc", due to non-standardization, and reduced audio quality. | |
| "Sale pending"--why post it ? Thank you Tobias and Sayas for your kind words. Let me also add that although I don't post "sale pending", if another potential buyer contacts me, I will inform by email that a sale is pending, and that I will be in contact if the sale falls throu... | |
| Not another "Should I leave my amp on question???" There are certain amps with circuits that run the tubes at almost maximum operating limits. Tubes have a much shorter lifespan when used in such amps. I have been told that VTL amps chew through tubes (can anyone else confirm this?) But I wouldn't... | |
| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 Some comments on the EAR Phono: First, the premium chrome unit is supposed to not only look better, but sound better than the standard black model, due to a heavier chassis. Second, I really like EAR products, but they do obtain their affordable p... | |
| Out of the mouth of babes Since we are talking about codes, does the fact that most after market power cords HAVE NO U.L. CERTIFICATION affect warranty coverage of the component, or homeowner's insurance coverage in the event of a fire? Of course, most cords exceed U.L. st... |
