| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. ramtubes I poorly wrote that line about the EAR 912- My pre-amp has subminiature tubes rated for 100,000 hours, the EAR 912 can use 7DJ8s or 6DJ8s rated for 10,000 hours as you stated. My old EAR 864 NOS 12AX7s and 12AU7s only lasted about 3,0... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I've only purchased speakers used. For high end after I turned 25, the Acoustat Xs, Acoustat 2&2s, Martin Logan Quests, Martin Logan Monolith IIIs and for the past 20 years, Legacy Focus and Signature IIIs. The Legacy speakers were a bargain... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Despite my rather large collection, I rarely paid more than $25 for a record, 78 or CD. Most of my collection was acquired between $1 and $10 each. I listen every day for 1 to 2 hours. That's my wealth, having the time after working, etc., to l... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification While I have a dedicated listening room I built 25 years ago, I made some major errors in construction. It is good that it has a 6" rebar reinforced slab, 8" plates with staggered 6" studs every 8". Survived a 6.9 earthquake with no damage (or t... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I use digital recording equipment now. Even the DCC recordings made in the 1990s sounded great. I still have a Tandberg 9100 and a Pioneer 1500 for playback. That Tandberg made some great recordings back in 1980s, better than early digital by a... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification The trolls have infiltrated this forum now. Too bad. It maybe shut down soon by moderators. Happens all over audiogon forums. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I agree rauliruegas. I like both when they recorded and mastered correctly. When I record a chamber group and choirs, I use a near field technique. When I record an orchestra, I use a mid-field technique but close to row 3 through 7. I do not plac... | |

| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. My pre-amps are unusual in many ways as they use only six subminiature tubes, are a voltage regulated design with no fuse/breaker necessary and have the stepped attenuator out of the signal path but operates by bleeding off voltage to ground to at... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD jafant - Marston records can be found at https://www.marstonrecords.com/ He has won Grammys for his work on other labels and does many Naxos label CDs. The defunct Romophone label and nearly so Biddulph were great sources of excellently remastered... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming The music that I like that is missing from streaming is historic recordings (78s) and ethnic music. If they are under copyright protection, one cannot hear back earlier that 1928 recordings without copyright infringement. As to 78s in general, w... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD There are too many fantastic CDs of historic performances, never to be remastered again. I've commented on another forum. Anything by Ward Marston is usually rare in 78 format and expertly remastered. LP transfers of acoustic 78s were generally ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I’ve tried a dozen 6SN7s for my amps’ cathode followers. What a huge range of sound characteristics. The worst (thinnest,brightest) were Russian 80s or 90s ones under the Sovtek label, which looked identical to the Counterpoint branded ones and an... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD iamhe I’ve read that the analog LP only captures 12 or 14 bits of information but in pure wave form. Digital captures sound at different bits and depth. Somehow, they both sound natural and high resolution on my system and some of my friends syste... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Elizabeth, I have 7,000 78s and about 1,500 CDs from 78 sources. They sound great performance wise and often with great mid-range and dynamics (especially the electricals). For 78s, I use my old VPI 19-4 with an ultracraft 400C arm and a grado 7... |
