| Audiophiles and apartments: Oil and water? I was fortunate to visit Mitch4t's downtown LA artist's loft last Sunday. Artists are a very forgiving group of people. They'd have to be with Mitch's FOUR Pass Labs X600 monoblocks and Velodyne DD18. | |
| Tube Test Results Yeah, your assumptions are more or less correct. Aside from identifying shorts, each tube tester has its own standards for what is passable and excellent.Tubes do burn out in varying degrees depending on the tube type and how it's being utilized. ... | |
| Good Advice I think what you did right was to assemble a system YOU like. Whether it was by happen stance or it was thoroughly planned out consider yourself lucky and blessed.My current line of thinking is that the "it's all about the music" phrase is a crock... | |
| I made up my mind what to buy for Triangle Celius Chul Hee, something to consider is that the PrimaLuna ProLogue Two can use either EL34s or KT88s, so you'll have extra flexibility by going with the ProLogue Two if you can swing the extra $250. http://www.upscaleaudio.com/product.asp?itemid=25&am... | |
| Audience Au24 with high current SS amps.... Wow, this is interesting. I have used AU24 speaker cable with a BAT VK200, Bel Canto SET40, Blue Circle BC22, Pass Aleph 3 and a Bryston 4B and never experienced anything close to this.

The active network seamlessly blends my NHT satellites and sub creating a very co... | |

| High pass quality to mains uisng Velodyne DD subs I think Rwwear means he doesn't like the idea of having the mains encumbered by a high pass filter in the signal path. It would be interesting to hear the results of trying both methods. | |
| Audiophiles and apartments: Oil and water? I'm pretty inconsiderate, I just blast away. And when the downstairs kids start bumpin' hip hop, I crank up Spinosaurus versus T-Rex from JP3 on the HT. Never got a complaint. I must be a well shaken vinaigrette. | |
| ARTICLE -Teens say they prefe vinyl to CDs Vinyl pants, maybe. | |
| Best RCA terminated digital interconnect? Another pretty good one under $200 is the Acoustic Zen MC2. | |
| neutrality & transparency: what's the difference ? Current?"My best friend's sister's boyfriend's cousin said she saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors..." | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Nice car, Clio09! You have the triple Webbers on the 3.0? Do you have to use a unison to tune them? | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Yeah, I think the Audio Mirro would be a good one to investigate. It doesn't deviate excessively from neutrality, it has a nice smooth top end and is very dynamic and transparent. | |
