| Used tube pre-amp around $1,000 Do some research on the Eastern Electric Mini Max preamp at $1200. It seems to have some very good buzz going. | |
| Do tube dampers really work? Another vote for Hal-o tube dampers. They worked for me in my preamp. Cheap too. | |
| Vandersteen users: How low can you go with tubes I like the Rogue Tempest's flexibility, i.e.. you can add an eighty eight amp later and double the power to your Vandies if you want more power or change to even less efficient speakers. It's an even better buy used. | |
| What's your favorite instrument to listen to.... I'm with Tim on this one. I'm piano biased too..fantastic on a revealing system, preferably with McCoy Tyner playing.Then again there's Joe Henderson's sax or Miles' trumpet or Junior Wells' harmonica... hmmm ..this is harder than I thought.Maybe ... | |
| Audio stores in Washington DC??? I would recommend Deja Vu audio. (www.dejavuaudio.com)I've been there about a dozen times. Really nice owner who knows his stuff. Very analog and tube friendly.I've been to Soundworks as well. They seemed OK but I've heard some strange things abou... | |
| Reliability of Golden Tube amps.... Golden Tube is indeed out of business. I owned a couple of their SE-40 amps and never had a single problem. I have heard /read that they did have reliability problems with the earlier runs of these amps as well as the matching preamp. I think they... | |
| new cary v12 needs new music I like Cyrus Chestnut's 'The Darkness Before the Dawn' a lot but Shirley Horn's 'You Won't Forget Me' is still in heavy rotation on my system. Shirley plays as well as she sings. The guest soloists are Miles Davis, Toots Thielmans , Branford and W... | |
| All time classics? Your top 3 or 4? This is tough.1) Large Advent (I still have mine in the closet)2) Dynaco stereo 70 (sold it like an idiot 20 yrs ago)3) Mcintosh 2205 (didn't buy it like an idiot 20 yrs ago) | |
| Question about Car speaker design. Sounds like subwoofer time. I'd say 10 inch drivers in a box with the 6X9's removed should do the trick. Check out www.sounddomain.com and submit your questions to their subwoofer forum section. Mention that you want sound quality instead of just ... | |
| Audioweb/ What a bear Steve, you can get to the used speaker page by first going to preowned equip then catagory then loudspeaker.Once you get there the other pain of the matter is that you have to keep clicking 'next page' instead of just scrolling along like you do o... | |
| What's everybody listening to this evening? Let's see....The best of Carmen Mcrae, Grant Green - Idle Moments, Joe Henderson - Ballads and Blues and Ray Brown- Some of My Best Friends are Singers. I play music while I work at night and these are the current week's favs. | |
| Rogue Owners Unite I own m-120s and added a used 99 about 9 months ago. I wasn't particularly fond of the 99 at first. Mark at Rogue recommended changing the Penta Labs 6sn7s for the NOS Russians. That did it. Much better, I then moved to the 120's, I added Electro ... | |
| Tubes for Rogue 99 Call Mark at Rogue, he'll tell you exactly what you need to know. | |
| How are tubes to be purchased in general? Over the last 7 years I've owned two different all tube setups and I've had it pretty easy when it comes to tubes. I've never had a failure and the tubes were not expensive. I have Rogue equipment now and the amps are auto biased (you don't do any... | |
| Best jazz either purchased or released in 2001 Ella and Louis (Verve Master Edition) (2000) this 96/24 digital transfer was originally recorded in 1956! Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong demonstrate why they have become legend; Oscar Peterson on piano, Ray Brown on bass and Buddy Rich on dru... |
