| Warm-up time. My components "warm-up" while I'm listening. Kind of like a "first-set" of music type of thing. Once the first set (1 hr?) is over, it stays on during the between-sets-break (20 min?). Then onto set 2. Most band saves their "best" for the second s... | |
| Nuvista Tubes - General @fraterperdurabo and @andy8400 Thanks for the candid feedback. My curiosity with the Nuvista (nuvistor) is that within the realm of what I already have (MF M6si) it is Musical Fidelity’s "upgrade" offering (with respect to where I’m at now). But I... | |
| Surge Protector - Brick Wall/Zero Surge vs SurgeX Panamax uses MOVs so they will wear out and eventually stop protecting.That is not entirely correct. It is true that MOVs are used. However, the ones used are *by design* meant to protect against a single occurrence. So they do not "wear out" per ... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. All -I must digress.I have been in contact with Audiogon support regarding the removal of my post. Proof of the following response is evidenced by the reappearance of my post dated 01-11-2018 12:30pm. Their response is as follows. "I reviewed both... | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables I can't say I ever used completely solid cable, but I would suppose solid cable is actually *single strand* cable. Point is, there isn't just two choices of solid and stranded. Cable which is "stranded" is available in many extremely thin and fra... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. What I can say is that every single time I have seen what are sometimes referred to as "four-letter words" in a post here, or lengthier words which include those four letters in the same sequence (as was the case in the two posts which were remove... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. @audiotroy Please, no expletives. | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Regarding the two posts that were removed, I’m pretty certain that the reason for their removal had nothing to do with the thoughts they were intended to convey, but instead was because the first one contained an expletive, and the second one bega... | |
| Nuvista Tubes - General I just look at where he used them in the Trivista sacd............Same what I saw in the MF A3-24 dac...........@georgehifi I take this to mean your statement about a hybrid being a sales pitch ** is ** specific to MF. | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. I would be interested to hear what was deleted from this thread if someone could message me.The gist of what was deleted was basically equivalent to @shadorne post (01-11-2018 12:46pm), albeit different verbs/examples were used. | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. looks like someone told the truth so the mods removed his postActually, it was @onhwy61 post and mine directly after that was removed. And yes, there was nothing but truth stated. Keep in mind it was just opinion anyway.I believe (not sure and co... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Whenever I hear that one component "KILLS", "DESTROYS" or otherwise "OBLITERATES" another component my bullshit detector goes off. Am I the only one? Others can chime in.No, you’re not the only one. Same here. Once a certain performance level is a... | |
| Surge Protector - Brick Wall/Zero Surge vs SurgeX I don't have familiarity with any of the three models you (OP) mention. I'm using a Panamax MR4300. It's in the same price range as the other pieces mentioned. Panamax offers a monetary guarantee more than enough to fully reimburse the owner shoul... | |
| Nuvista Tubes - General @viridian No apology necessary. I’m very appreciative of your input (and clarifications). And I get what you’re stating (and agree) about purchasing based on sound quality, long term reliability and serviceability. That writes and sounds much easi... | |
| What are your thoughts about moving up product line(s) within a Company? Once I find a company where I love their philosophical approach, reliability, customer service, and most importantly "signature sound" meaning what they value most in reproduction - then I am inclined to up the chain for me that has been loudspeak... |
