| Anyone have experience with "Signal Cable" Cables? I second Daverobertson, Howard. | |
| Choosing between the following three cable brands I just returned the CT cables after a 12 day audition. I much preferred my HMS Gran Finale ICs and my DIY solid silver/teflon/cotton speaker cables. I have been strongly considering Valhalla speaker cables, but the leaness that some describe has m... | |
| Fuses - Why do same size fuses sound different? Irish65,I would be very interested to hear Steve's comments on the silver fuses after he auditions them. If you would post his impressions I would appreciate it. | |
| noise thru tube pre?? LOL, good point Honest1. | |
| How do you solve "popping" when source switching? Chadnliz, don't know if this will help or not, but for instance:DACT recommends that the lead of a 1MOhm resistor be placed beneath the locking nut of their attenuators if the attenuator is mounted into an insulated part without ground, especially... | |
| noise thru tube pre?? Newbee, the only thing I disagreed with in your first post was the implication that microphonic tubes somehow always sound bad.Enjoying the effect of a slightly microphonic tube is no different than rolling a Mullard for warmth or a Telefunken for... | |
| noise thru tube pre?? Newbee, tubes with some microphonics (if not ridiculous) can add a sense of realism to the soundstage. They can add a slight hall or venue presence that has nothing to do with "glare, grit, grain, etc." Unless the tube is overly microphonic some o... | |
| noise thru tube pre?? Microphonic tubes. Nothing to really be concerned about.Not a problem if your pre still sounds good. Microphonic tubes can actually sound very good, but it is system dependent. Probably time to tube roll anyway since you just got your new pre. Exp... | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo Or maybe he just doesn't want to waste his time. | |
| Berning ZH270 Synergy I have a 60's vintage Mullard 12AT7 to try in place of one pair of my TF ecc801s. I will put them in the second position and keep the other pair of TF ecc801s in the first position. The RCA 12AV7 will stay in front for the time being.I will report... | |
| Ei Gold Elite vs I have been shocked at how good the EI Gold Elite 6DJ8s are in my system. I didn't think any current 6DJ8 could compete with NOS, but not only can the EI Gold Elites compete, I actually prefer them.I have purchased my last NOS 6DJ8s.Same for EH 6S... | |
| Berning ZH270 Synergy Ecclectique,Andy said, - "GE" - 12AV7s were "crap in a glass", not 12AV7s.Just wanted to clear that up. | |
| Berning ZH270 Synergy Steve and Artg,Thanks for the replies.I am definitely going to try the Mullards. But I am not sure which ones. I have read mixed reviews on the Mullard 12AT7, the Sylvania Gold Brand 12AT7, the 6204 and the CV4024. I would appreciate any detailed ... | |
| Berning ZH270 Synergy Congratulations Nkj,I've had my Berning with all the upgrades for several months. Just wait till it breaks in. You ain't heard nothing yet.Also, I recently rolled NOS Telefunken 12AT7's in and more recently, NOS RCA 12AV7's. They made a huge diffe... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Vetterone,I did notice a change during burn-in of the DACT. It sounded cleaner and clearer from the moment I put it in, but as I recall, it seemed to improve over 50 hours or so. But that's just my recollection. I can't say for sure that it was 50... |
