| Seeking tube 12AX7 recommendation for a Conrad-Johnson Premier 3 I've had good luck with rca and Sylvania in my fisher | |
| which car is sitting in your listening room? Random redneck: that thing got a hemi? Me: nope 😅 I guess I have a set of alloys and some tires in my listening room. And I'm pretty happy with them 😃 | |
| What system can adequately reproduce the sounds of a tanker being hit by torpedo ? In my smallish room my system has made me jump straight out of my chair. The scene from the first Avengers movie where they started the engines of the flying aircraft carrier comes to mind | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? Keep your table and consider trying a line level tube buffer stage. Amazon sells a couple different ones. Then later we can talk about the rabbit hole that is tube rolling 😉 | |
| Focal Sopra 2's vs Titron GoldenEar Reference speakers Judas priest and tool as well as many others sound excellent on my GE triton 2's. I've used them with tube, solid state, and digital amplifiers and never heard any harshness. | |
| Worth of current system Main rig <$5000.Living room rig approximately $500 Maybe $600ish with replacement tubes. Bedroom system has ss and tube option and cost about $1600 all in. I have a mix of vintage and modern gear. Each system is unique sounding and I love them ... | |
| PRIMA LUNA DIALOGUE PREMIUM - 20 minutes and then loud pop and buzzing in 1 channel Good luck sir, and please keep us updated. Prima Luna products intrigue me. | |
| Why all or most audiophiles are men? Paul Mcgowan posted a video very recently on this topic, I respect his opinion and would post a link to it if I knew how. | |
| Speakers I have Two in mine?? If you can post to audiogon you can purchase off the site as well. Stop pretending that your options are so limited, it's beyond tedious at this point. | |
| KT88 tube amp I've used ps vane jj tung sol and sovtek, none of which were in a quick silver. Ps vane was the worst performing. Jjs and tung sols were the best. | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? On paper the best possible circuits have already been designed, now it's just a matter of implementation and personal preference. | |
| Bought some `Vintage Gear` You might find it hard to give up that gear 😁 I love my vintage amps and speakers. I use a knight built in '58 nearly every day in my bedroom system and a Fisher x101b from '62 paired with some jbl L80t3's when the fancy strikes me. The Fisher sti... | |
| Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp I'm not an engineer but it's my understanding that if 2 amps are of equal gain they'll be equally loud at equal wattage output. Meaning that you'll likely be ok with a lower wattage tube amp vs a ss that you rarely ever use all those reaerve watts | |
| Considering switching to Tubes I've owned a Yaqin mc50L for a couple years now. I absolutely love the music it makes. Having said that there are always caveats. The original tubes were junk, in fact one was dead on arrival. I'm currently using jj kt88s, nos mullard, 12at7s and ... | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice I have a mani and mp 110(same specified output) 48db is the setting you want. 59db does actually overload the mani. On my rig the 48db setting closely matches the output from my cd player not quite equal, but close enough for me. Give it a try, ... |
