| Tube Testers. Which to buy and where? I think the TV-7s are cool looking. I used to see a lot on Ebay.I bought a simple to use B&K Dynajet 606 on Ebay last year for $50. It has served me well. | |
| Denon POA-2800 vs. Sony TAN-90ES Hey Chris,In all honesty, I'm not sure you'd prefer the Bryston over the Denon. It really depends on taste, but I have an older Bryston and I don't like it as my main two channel amp. I use it mainly for subwoofer duty. That being said, the newer ... | |
| Denon POA-2800 vs. Sony TAN-90ES During its day, the Denon Piece Of Ass 2800 was a highly regarded amp. | |
| did lightning do this? I live in Los Angeles, and the other night the thunder and lightning woke me up at 1:30 in the morning. My first thought was, "Cool!". Ten seconds later I jumped out of bed and unplugged my system from the wall. Maybe a good thing, eh? | |
| Denon POA-2800 vs. Sony TAN-90ES Sony, are you implying that you could be swayed from your namesake? Shame, shame shame. | |
| DACs within components Yes, yes and yes.As Ben Kingsley said in Searching for Bobby Fischer, "he's got it." | |
| tube amplifier auto bias- accurate? A real easy tube tester for a beginner is the B&K 606. It comes in a small case like those portable 45rpm record players of old. Less options than the ones Albert is recommending, but it's smaller and can test a wide variety of tubes. I got mi... | |
| Could my A-gon brothers please.... I'm using a Magnum Dynalab ST-2 and love it. Just bolt it to a wall. You don't even have to aim the darn thing either. | |
| ebay vs audiogon The only thing audio related I've bought on Ebay was a tube tester, and I was very happy with the transaction.I prefer to purchase Hi Fi gear on Audiogon because I feel most of the people here are fellow enthusiasts rather than someone just trying... | |
| Who has made their own LP cleaning solution? Ben Stiller makes his own. Cameron Diaz found other uses for it as well. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Wow, Dennis_the_menace, he already has your Syrah in his system? Did you fly it over to Canada for him? Hahah. I wonder if he allowed for adequate break in and synergizing?But indeed, it is helpful to hear other perspectives. | |
| Headphone amps I would have really liked a set up like Marco's and did look long and hard at the Micro zOTL. But I was doing this just so I could watch DirecTivo late at night without disturbing anyone. Functionality, price and nice looks were my main criteria s... | |
| Tube pre-amps: what defines "better" Musicslug is right about different tubes having their own character. I'm pretty familiar with two types, the 6SN7 and 6922 families which my preamp and DAC use respectively.In general, the 6SN7 will have a fatter midrange and upper bass which yiel... | |
| Mini Mac as audio server? Ed, is that right?I just assumed so because all the ethernet cables at work are blue and the ones I bought were as well. And all the gray ones I've seen were crossover.Damn, I can't trust Office Depot for jack then! LOL! | |
| Tube pre-amps: what defines "better" Did your friends give you a reason why you should add a tube preamp to your system? Are you running all solid state right now? A passive preamp? What IS your system now? Is there something you don't like about it, that prompted them to suggest a t... |
