| Tube Depot's "NOS vacuum tube sale" . . . SED Winged C EL34s that are theoretically NOS for only $100 a pop and all I need are a dozen. . . . | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System I’m tired of chasing That sort of brougt to mind something Steve Earle was quoted as saying, something to the effect of, "Cocaine is like golf, it's white, you hit it, and then you chase it all day." However, better sound isn't white and you ... | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System For many myself included, it is not the qualities, but the lack of quantity in the cash department that will dictate what is our endgame system. I'd go along with that. I'd like some different/better speakers. And I guess I'd also like to try... | |
| A used pair of Fujitsu Ten Eclipse TD712 Z Bookshelf Speakers at TMR Down sides I agree with in your quote and I’d add they didn’t do dynamics very well (think orchestral music, rock etc etc). Otherwise, if you’re into mellow listening, they were really good. I don’t know that I would have called my preference (... | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System @calvinj , with certain discs (in my system mostly SACDs) I can get that. But I am assuming from most of the content of this thread that the OP considers "end game" to be beyond that. | |
| A used pair of Fujitsu Ten Eclipse TD712 Z Bookshelf Speakers at TMR Thanks @sunshdw , I just did a google on the AR VS i60, and 50 wpc did the trick, huh? That's what I was really curious about, as with a sensitivity of 83.5 and being a 6 ohm load, I would have thought they might need some serious wpc to move th... | |
| 805 SET Monoblocks @decooney , oops, I missed your post. Yes, I remember comparing Cary V-12 (EL-34) biasing notes with you and also the subject of Cary customer service (or lack of). As far as the 805s go, back in the mid '90s I worked with a guy who got interes... | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System What does ''etc." Really Entail....? Scintillating interaction on A'gon? | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns , you are a legend in your own mind. Now go type another five thousand or so meaningless words that say nothing and that nobody cares about. | |
| Are You a Swifty? Thank you, @tylermunns (aka Trog), for contributing two more cents and further enhancing your own troll status. You certainly know how to type a lot of words and say nothing. | |
| Are You a Swifty? Sad that a thread regarding the most insipid, milquetoast, uncontroversial, apolitical celebrity somehow inspires troglodyte political blather. And yet here you are, Trog, adding your $0.02; how sad. | |
| Are You a Swifty? unless you include her ability to brainwash weak minded humans and fish. @jmalen123 , that kind of sums up Fat Donnie, doesn't it? | |
| Are You a Swifty? You mean to tell me she’s a singer? I’ve never heard her sing anything and Candice Owen’s says she’s a psychopath. What is amusing about that is: Candace Owens does not even know the definition of the term. Since a picture is worth one thousand... | |
| Pop Ups Don't feel like the Lone Ranger--it's happening to me also. | |
| 805 SET Monoblocks . . . I won't try to post a link because A'gon always shoots me down whenever I try that, but I did just go to Cary Direct's site and they are listing the 805s for $12,700 now, and the 211FEs for $17,246. |
