| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @corelli Sorry! Already sold it. I didn't build it. I did just buy a Dynaco ST-35 though ;-) | |
| Merry go round Great reply, @kevn I appreciate you pushing me on this. It helps me become clearer about my convictions and intuitions, perhaps even realizing that some are wrong. ;-) At the venue, when you say something "is ‘real’ for everyone" I agree. But "r... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? I hooked up my Dynaco ST-35 to my speakers and did some listening. 97 db speakers -- JBL 16inch woofer and Beyma AMT tweeter. HEARING: Very strong grip on bass. Amazingly good. Mid range less warm, intimate than I expected. Highs pretty clear... | |
| Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!! Limbic capitalism -- love that phrase. Want to buy new and can spend $3k? Perhaps try this wonderful maker: https://www.erhard-audio.com/Basie.html or this one https://quicksilveraudio.com/products/integrated-amplifier/ | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @atmasphere Thank you for your additional comment! | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @decooney asks a good question for @atmasphere One thing which seems to hang on this answer is when and whether the general audiophile precept that "simpler is better" is true. | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? Thanks @atmasphere I would love to hear what Harley would say in response. | |
| How do you A/B amps in your system? It’s pretty easy for me. My rack is between my speakers and all are quite a few feet from the wall behind the speakers ("front wall"). Each amp has speaker wires already in the back. Let’s say I’m listening to A, first. I play a test tone (say,... | |
| Merry go round @kevn Thanks for your friendly post. A meal has ingredients, such as beef, which comes from a cow. The cow is processed and the material is configured in various ways that leads to the experienced taste perceptions. A reproduced song has ingre... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? Yesterday, I learned something new: A colleague suggested that we adopt "un-offendability" as a superpower -- the ability to "hear" things we don't agree with, while maintaining civility. The true spirit of science -- a hypothetical attitude. F... | |

| Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!! You are overpaying. When I got out of the service in late 1970, I went to work at a Lincoln-Mercury dealership. Our retail labor rate was $7.00 per hour $7 per hour in the late 1970's is equal to $36 per hour today. | |
| Advice on making a speaker change Do you go to the same kind of restaurant every time? Variety is the spice of life. Why not try new speakers? I have a couple different sets that I like to swap in and out. That is why this hobby is a hobby. Variation, play, new experiences are a... | |
