| Nirvana at last? Warren, I never got around to tuberolling my SET40 when I owned it, I am regretting selling her even more now. Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy another one right now, but hope to one day.As for the effects of tube rolling I completely agree. I... | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use Interesting situation, Zaikesman.It sounds as if you're going to do a combination of nearfield and across-the-room listening?I just got the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 sat/sub combo and am quite impressed with the naturalness of the sound relative to oth... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Is this a biblical parable? Are we supposed to substitute "gear" for Philistines? Heheh.This conflict has nothing to do with what your hobby is, it's that you love something other than your girlfriend, and she doesn't like it.Tvad has the best of ... | |
| input sensitivity Drubin, that's what I came away with from that experience. The preamp used in the comparison was the Blue Circle BC21 which uses two 6SN7 tubes. But despite the problems with my system, I sure liked that Aleph 3. | |
| led zeppelin suggestions on vinyl What? There were only two kids crawling on the rocks and one was a boy? Egad!My affair with Zeppelin started with LZ IV and lasted through Houses, Physical Grafitti, Presence and ended with In the Through The Out Door. I do love the albums before ... | |
| The Dead Hey Dan, I've been so busy with work the last 8 months or so, I only get to drop into the 'Gon about once every other month or so, so a lightning counterattack from me could take weeks, heheh. How've you been my friend?!As for Albert. It's not tha... | |
| 845 Tube vs KT90 Ahh, Warren, you're making it even tougher for me to hold out!! Heheh. How does your BC combo make your Zu 1.5s sound?Another thing is that I really miss how the SET40 warmed up my room on those cold days! | |
| input sensitivity Great thread and answers. Input sensitivity has been discussed often on the 'Gon, but there's a lot of info in the responses here.I've noticed what Aball mentions about higher sensitivity amps sounding more full-bodied, but had always chalked it u... | |
| 845 Tube vs KT90 "why not take a trip to Las Vegas this week to hear some of these options for yourself?"Because CES and AVN are no longer concurrent held! Rats! | |
| 845 Tube vs KT90 I don't have a direct KT90/845 comparison to offer, but I will say that after using only solid state amps in my apartment I was very pleasantly surprised at the control and impact the Bel Canto SET40 had on my system.The SET40 is an 845 amp rated ... | |
| 'nother Nano question That's right buddy, you can count on me for earth-shattering seriousness! ;) | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Tvad, you gotta watch out when balancing those oversized sized bronto ribs on your passenger side. They have a way of destabilizing cars. Even ones with tires like cement steamrollers. | |
| led zeppelin suggestions on vinyl I remember back when I was in junior high I always was thought that Zeppelin album with naked girls crawling on the rocks was cool looking. | |
| The Dead Boa2, at least you guys still have Albert Porter around. He'll never be able to live down his naked stripper and wet Fruit-o-the-Loom weekend at the Hardrock Casino from CES 2003. Albert was fine and dandy until ol' Mattybumpkin and the king of si... | |
| philips cdm9 pro When I was researching Theta transports six years ago, the very issue of the discontinued CDM9 came up. That's why I went with the Theta Pearl which at the time used the Pioneer Stable Platter which was still being made then. I think that has sinc... |
