| Your favorite obscure song Removed my favorite music post...because...it’s music? I love the way a mere mention of a song can be censored. I'm going to ask folks at Audio Circle and other forums if this happens there. Ok, well my NEW favorite song is "God Bless the U.S.A.... | |
| Who is your favorite tube seller? Anyone try Valves n' More? I like their videos. | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. The current state of the country has stolen most of my joy. The statement is about what he feels. It is vague enough to come from multiple perspectives, no? Maybe he feels the country has not headed far enough in the current direction? Maybe he... | |
| Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows Commercialization of this ethos helped to create a sense of phoniness and cynicism towards this movement. Reminds me of the part of Mad Men when Draper goes to the EST retreat and gets the idea for the Coke slogan. One great book on this was T... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? Fritz speakers punch WAY above their weight as do Ascend Acoustics. Anyone in the Denver/Front Range area that wants to get in touch, please do. If you live close and I'm comfortable with it, I'd even loan you either pair for a while so you can t... | |
| Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows I should probably have added, "It Can't Happen Here," by FZ. If only Karen Carpenter had covered it... | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down It was so useful to see a youtuber with the courage to feature gear that was so expensive | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? @erik_squires Sit close to the speakers. Does the problem completely go away? You jave an acoustics problem and your ropm is too reflective. But that would kill the conversation about cables and capacitors! It's all about the stuff, man. | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please If you just created a text document of your playlist, then you could strike out any tracks or albums which disappeared. Then, if you wish, buy them specifically. The idea of downloading the whole playlist seems like overkill. Worst case scenario, ... | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? Without some data about the room, first, I don't have much to say about gear. | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio Meaning, they can find objective data that proves they don't - and shouldn't - pay 4x more for some boutique piece of equipment that performs the same or worse than something off the shelf at Best Buy. Re: "objective data that proves." I won't... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio Maybe the tariffs won't last. Several companies and states have challenged Trump’s use of an emergency law to impose some of his duties on individual countries, in a legal dispute that is likely to work its way up to the Supreme Court. As part ... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @atmasphere Thanks, Ralph. My tech understands those facts and appreciates the reminder. We're going in fully eyes open (he has an ST-35, also) and will report back if you're curious. | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @atmasphere My tech said this about the ST-35 mods we're discussing: "The datasheet lists a 10k plate-to-plate load for the tubes in triode mode and 8k plate-to-plate in ultra linear, so it's not that far off. Per the Mullard datasheet, power dr... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @atmasphere Here's what Mike said: "It will almost certainty raise both the harmonic and intermodulation distortion in triode mode and drastically reduce the power, but it may be pleasant distortion." It will be switchable, so if it doesn't sound... |
