| Balance on Tube Amp There was/is a thread running in this forum from an OP who noted that one side of his system was noticeably stronger than the other side and he was looking for troubleshooting tips. As far as your tubes, I don’t have any experience with your g... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? A life of crime. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I think that Alice Cooper did some work with The Holly Cole Trio way back many years ago that was said to be interesting. | |
| If a tree falls in the forest… If a tree falls in the forest, does an expensive speaker cable still sound the same or even worse than a coat hanger? Yes. Yes it does. You've actually used coat hangers to connect your speakers to your amp? Wow. | |
| Other High End Audio Forums And not your view I will assume. Not even close to my POV. The post menopausal moderator issued me so many "vacations" that I lost count. Once she deleted a totally nonpolitical thread I posted about the score of a Colorado Buffaloes game and ... | |
| Other High End Audio Forums Audio Asylum is primarily a political site that basically only supports one point of view. | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? I've always enjoyed my system more as the presentation it reproduced became more detailed. Kind of the same as I enjoy the flat screen TV in high definition that I now own way more than my old 25 inch console that was somewhat grainy in compariso... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. I went to the link that @elliottbnewcombjr provided for the Volti Razz and it sounds like they do it all. Big room or small room and high sensitivity and $5500 if no paint or finish . . . but it also sounds like once you've got them you've got th... | |
| Lower power on left channel Good plan. If it doesn't follow the speaker cables, I guess it's the speakers. If it does follow the speaker cables, try swapping pre to amp interconnects, and if it follows them I guess it's in the preamp, and if it doesn't, I guess it's in the... | |
| Lower power on left channel +1 @2psyop . I don't know your preamp, but I have a Cary SLP 05 that uses 6SN7s, and using a specific test tone on a test CD I have used the AC volts setting on my meter to check volts at my speaker terminals, and I have found that depending upo... | |
| Dynaudio C1 or B&W 805 D2 I would think that with the 805s that you would still want a sub. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. I think you're overcomplicated this process. Listen to the music and choose what sounds right "to you". I personally own Tekton Moab's. @jijoh123 , are those going for 5k a pair? | |
| Starting my showroom again I wouldn't worry about saving too many billions for retirement . . . I think the average lifespan for US males has dropped to under 75 years old. | |
| Best Covers I enjoy the way that Patricia Barber and Jacintha both covered Light My Fire. | |
| Is there a vacuum tube summary poster similar to this grape varietal summary Brent Jessee is a vacuum tube seller who has a web site with a comprehensive list and description of numerous different tubes. If you plug in 'Brent Jessee' as a search engine, you will find his site. I'd post a link, but A'gon probably wouldn't... |
