| Moving away from inefficient/low impedance speaker in order to move to a Tube Amp why not try one of the better reviewed Chinese tube amps some of them are quite good and you can get 50-100wpc easily. Willsenton R8 for example is quite good for the money and very well built. made in the same factory as primaluna etc. anoth... | |
| Desk top speakers at low cost these PSB speakers have been my go to computer speaker for a couple years, there's a matching sub available as well. I have the sub as well and its perfect for a computer system and near field listening. They have great dispersion as well. quite ... | |
| EL 34 I have a set of the Genelex gold lion kt77's I've tried them in two amps, both push pull, and find they are inferior to the similar gold lion 300b by a significant factor. I find the top end to be rather harsh and not very extended. I'm using a th... | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. I think for the "new to turntable looker" he brings some solid issues to the forefront. I never recommend getting into vinyl if you have zero records and don’t have a current table. why its really not that much better, if at all, when comparing si... | |
| Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used On a whim got a Willsenton R8 (yes Chinese but very well made, made in the same factory as line magnetic stuff i believe) and it's surprisingly well made and sounds very good if I do say. I have a bunch of tube stuff at home and its way bett... | |
| Wanted: Recommendations for an integrated amp for Celestion SL-600 speakers! Emotive maybe a good spot to look you should be able to get the power level you need for those speakers there for your price range. also don't rule out class D amps they will give you the power you need for those speakers at reasonable prices. Fro... | |
| Need help with MM cartridge choice Don't rule out the entry level Soundmith moving iron carts I've had good results with the ottelo on a second table. compliance check to be sure first. I believe you'll get better sound with a fix cantilever than a replaceable one. When you can ge... | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. Look to your room and add room treatment to dial in your sound. Your room is what you hear most and effects the sound the most. I'd buy a good quality (not stupid money) USB calibrated Microphone and REW software and look at your room acoustics. T... | |
| Shout out to the Tube store customer service. mpomerantz68 posts09-27-2021 5:13amWere you referring to the Tubes-store in Russia? No, North America, i think the tube store is based out of Toronto Canada area. | |
| Luxman L-410 vs L-530 well your kind of all over the era map here with Luxman,personally nothing they made after the mid 80's up until their reintroduction was worth buying IMO. There's a few select items from the late 80's -90s that were ok the L410 was one of those, ... | |
| SPL meter results relative to Magnepan's (supposed?) craving for power/current phcollie : "My listening room measures at 12-14 Db ambient (Hvac Off)."I don't believe your taking measurements correctly as that's unrealistically low for any room. | |
| Does Expert Music Streamer Outrun CD Player? I think its like many things in tech / engineering as a new tech takes over from older tech there is a time when the old tech is better due to the old tech being at the pinnacle of engineering for that tech and the new being in its infancy. Event... | |
| Antique Sound Lab Leyla SET 845 integrated tube amp, manual and remote type or codes Thanks Blackdodhifi,I seen the bias meter green area and line so its fairly easy i was wondering what the proper voltage across the resistor was. thank you. figures the remote is a show stopper, I believe its remote as there is the sensor window ... | |
| Newbie setup I use an Apple 4k tv box for most of my steaming (video and audio), even Tidal (only cd quality) isn't bad at all. I use the USB connection on the apple 4k tv box to an outboard DAC. that into the preamp line inputs. Alternatively i suppose you co... | |
| AppleTV Atmos levels seem off did you try other movies first, could be just the levels in that movie were not correctly edited. I've seen big differences in volume levels of different programs on my Apple 4k tv, mind you I do not use a surround processor. I go USB to a DAC fo... |
