| sonicfrontiers pre-amps reliable or not? I bought a used SFL-3 and never had any problems with reliability. | |
| What Power Cord for Tubed Preamp You're on the right track! I have a good deal of experience with David Blair's (Custom Power Cord) product line! The model 11's are a great power cord for the money! But if you really want to see what he is capable of...try the Top Gun Cords! (See... | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. I was thinking about this post again...tube equipment is just so damn visually pleasing! An electrical device used to build the amp actually becomes part of the design esthetics! And the warm glow of tubes in a darkened room reminds me of a soothi... | |
| Best speakers for 2000-USED How about NEW for under $2000-! I had a pair of the Magnapan 1.6's and they will give a HUGE 3-D soundstage with an almost live sound! Great snap and punch! There are of course 2 provisions to getting this great sound 1) you need PLENTY of power, ... | |
| What makes the telefuken tube so special? I have also been told that the tolerences specified on the materials used to build the tubes, and the chemical purities of the componds used were MUCH greater than then today. | |
| Help My cables are too tight Are they terminated with locking RCA plugs? (I'm not familiar with this cable, but it sounds like your problem) The insulated cover over the outer shield part of the plug should unscrew if it is a locking plug. Back it off a few turns, plug it in,... | |
| What cd player or cd transport/dac is next for me? I really like the Accuphase CD players. I'm using an older DP-75. I feel that this unit has the most "analog" sound of any Redbook player that I have heard! | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. Also keep in mind that the ultimate tweak in tube amps is...CHANGING THE TUBES! It has been my experience that N.O.S. tubes will dramatically change the sound for the better over stock Russian tubes. Of course, multiple N.O.S. power tubes are pret... | |
| My first impression of the Nordost Valhallas. I'm waiting for a pair of Valhalla speaker cables now. I was reluctant to shell out the money, but people whom I trust (who are also musicians as well as high end dealers) have stated the following: there are Valhallas and then there is everything... | |
| U.S. Postal Service mail delays Kinda sad that some people have priorities and attitudes that didn't change following events that will forever change our country as well as the world. Just "keep on smilin'"! It's unfortunate that some people can be such self-centered turds! | |
| What have you been listening to these five weeks? A lot of Grateful Dead. I find the music thought provoking with some melancholy twists. Good for the soul. | |
| Conrad Johnson 17LS Stock Tubes Do yourself a BIG favor and call Andy at Vintage Tube Services @ 616-454-3467 (www.vintagetubeservies.com) Don't waste money with stock Russian tubes...they just DO NOT have the magic that N.O.S. will give you. Most manufactures will use current p... | |
| Stay W/B&W 805's or goto a bigger speaker Maggie's 1.6's are an absolutely AMAZING speaker, even more so at their ridiculously cheap price, however, I must disagree with Rhyno and Bmpnyc. The Maggies DO have good bass (down to 34 Hz if I remember correctly). Yeah, they're missing the bott... | |
| DVD Audio -- processor....TOSLINK or RCA? RCA...toslink isn't even in the same ball park! | |
| Any opinions about Pinnacle Baby Boomer Sub? I had a bad experience with a Pinnacle sub-woofer used in a HT application (older model...not this one). Would rattle during many LFE booms and bangs. Was never able to cure this problem! |
