| 6sn7 tubes for Atma Sphere amp I would say change out all 6. Compared to the new production (affordable) Russian and Chinese tubes, the old tubes and Shuguang tubes sound more 3D and less glarey. The stock tubes should sound very nice, but specialized tubes should adda lot of d... | |
| The Hub: How about a dedicated listening CHAIR They should build it into one of those massage chairs. | |
| I can't tell the difference Just goes to show, the speakers and amp are more important than the (digital) source. | |
| 6sn7 tubes for Atma Sphere amp I have a pair of MA1s, and after much rolling and agonizing, I have settled (for now) on RCA smoked glass for CCS (first tube), Sylvania WGTAs for second part of cascode (Not sure if it's top or bottom), Shuguang Treasure for first part of cascode... | |
| reasonably priced tube amps A great budget integrated tube amp that I have been very satisfied with is the JJ828. It got a lot of press a few years ago, but fellout of notoriety. It is imported by Eurotubes. Since he doesn't have a dealer network, he is isting them for sale ... | |
| Cable Elevators - What do you use? "How does the effect on the field radiated out affect the signal still in the cable?" It could affect the signal still in the cable the same way a ferrite affects the flow of high frequencies through a cable. A transformer works by placing a coil ... | |
| Best Used CD Player Under $500? Anything Sony ES. The 707SE can be had for around $350. Check out some of the threads, though, there was one recent model of SACD player that had a lot of reliability problems. | |

| Best Song Intro Hard Day's night - you know what it is instantly, and it took decades for people to figure out how they did it (guitar and piano). Not necessarily a great musically, but distinctive. | |
| kt 88 vs kt88 Oh, I thought you were posting about the spelling (with or without a space). This is a much better question - I look forward to the answers. Fwiw, I have only used JJ KT88s and have been very happy with them. | |
| Esoteric SA-60 ver Wadia 850? Perhaps. I know both use versions of the VRDS transport (or at lest used to). I don't know if any of hte Esoteric models use the same transport as the 850, but if so, watch out. I don't know how you find out. I know I was shocked to find out about... | |
| Any suggestions for good obscure music? If you like choral music, try Sacred Georgina Chants onthe Jade / Milan records label. Fabulously recorded beautiful music. I've never heard anything else quite like it, different than any other choral music I have heard. | |
| long term components Spica TC50s, now retired to my bedroom system. First speakers I ever bought. | |
| Esoteric SA-60 ver Wadia 850? I had an 850 to replace my 830 I was speaking to Wadia about having my 830 repaired (transformer hum) before I sold it. I was balking at the price, and explained to the tech I was just fixing it to sell. He told me to keep the 830 and sell the 850... |
