| Photos of my system Thank you, Mesch! You were a great help! | |
| Photos of my system Many thanks! Most of it was one and done kind of purchase, but I was definitely on a carousel of research! Forbearance here was an authentic blessing. | |
| Is it better to have two matched subs or one I was misinformed by REL who said their high level subs should be identical. | |
| Is it better to have two matched subs or one @hshfi Thanks. That makes sense. I have a second sub with my HT system of a different make that I can try. It's a Klipsch while my main sub is a REL. Different calibers. I will try two subs with those and see what happens. | |
| Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc. Thanks, oldhvy. Here's what I currently have (all closely matched) in addition to the outputs:12AT7/6201 Valvo made for Amperex/Philips, gold pin selected tubes, (1962/1968)12AX7 Amperex Holland Bugle Boy (1960/1962)12BH7A RCA (Greyplate) | |
| Is it better to have two matched subs or one I've read that additional subs help with the bass "in the room" but don't most people sit in one spot? And if that spot has sufficient bass from one sub, what do additional subs add? Regarding "stereo" bass, what MC says about the signal below 80h... | |
| Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc. @tablejockey Those are honkin' tubes. Would they work in my amp? I don't know. They're not on the list the amp came with. | |
| Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc. Thank you, folks. And special thanks to you oldhvymec for the time you took with your post. I'm tempted to get the GL KT88s but may I ask a question? When you say "signal valve" what do you mean? I'm a bit new to this stuff. In my rig I have two t... | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! Similar price to some Joseph Audios, no? That's a good comparison. | |
| Any Black Friday tube sales? Ah, the post-without-thinking wizard! Well, at least he didn’t say "Magico!" | |
| PS Audio Power Plant 15........ For those who suggest a "settle in" period, thanks -- that's good to know. I've heard that with other things like cables, interconnects, etc. It's not clear to me where those elements are "burning in" or "settling" (as the lingo goes) vs. the othe... | |
| Preamp recommendation Quicksilver Line Stage with a couple very nice NOS tubes has been lovely paired with other tube amps as well as solid-state | |
| Separate grounded outlet for audio setup I had a thread about this a while back where it was advised that I run a separate, dedicated line with surge suppression at the panel. Of course, I'm just repeating what people here with experience said, so take it for what it's worth! But not one... | |
| Buchardt A500, KEF LS50 Wireless, etc. What are your top 3 downsides? At the end of the day, everyone makes their own best judgement about whether they worry or care about spending money on a speaker with internal parts likely to become outdated. The sound, convenience of these speakers are hard to deny, and there'... | |
| Buchardt A500, KEF LS50 Wireless, etc. What are your top 3 downsides? Good company. We'll see how long they last, but the issue has more to do with a complex array of internal and specifically matched components not becoming outdated. |
