| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? I heard it on Friday/Saturday morning and it was almost like someone had flicked a switch. Or more like someone had suddenly placed extensive acoustic treatments in the room.. the soundstage just opened up in all directions and the sense of prese... | |
| Thumbs up to Cary Audio Service @heart_sounds , Kirk Owens was the absolute best! No matter how big or small my problem/question, he always had time to give me his attention. He inspired my loyalty to CAD. Anyway, what you might do is to post your issue in the amps/preamps foru... | |
| Thumbs up to Cary Audio Service @heart_sounds , a few years ago I was having an issue with my Cary V-12. I tryed to call tech support on the phone, but they told me they no longer offer telephone tech support and to email them. I sent more than one email asking for troubleshooti... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? For a few years if I was back in my listening room and listening, I was drinking. I have cut way back since then (I am on Miller 64 these days, and it doesn't taste good enough to make me want more than a couple of bottles) and listening isn't ... | |
| The desperate need to tinker In my old age, I now reside in the camp that does not want to screw with stuff unless I have to. | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change borderline This may speak volumes. | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change A narrow mind member here 4 years ago accused me of killing people because i spoke about Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine instead of remdesivir and injection ... He confused me with a pro Trump at this time.. Guess who was right ? @mahgister ... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change But while very expensive gear is not a magic solution to getting better sound better gear is a very important element. And long posts about acoustics and the brain don’t justify ignoring the gear factor. +1 @hilde45 . | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change there are worse addictions to have than high end audio gear. +1 on that, @jond . | |
| At what point do you... Back when I had more money than brains (and that's going back a while . . . now I don't have an excess of either) I always (except for once) bought new. The exception was a pair of ARC VTM120s that I bought from the classified section in Stereophi... | |
| 12AX7A preamp tubes - ribbed vs smooth plate I thought preempt tubes were a way to describe use of this tube within an amplifier (ie taking the week analogue level signal from the pre-amplifier and turning it into a stronger line Signal) and is this also considered to be a signal tube? I’... | |
| 12AX7A preamp tubes - ribbed vs smooth plate . . . ohhh, so they are MC9011s? I just did a cursory read on them--interesting amps. Anyway, Mac is calling the two 12AX7s the signal tubes for the amp. Which is not what I would call a "preamp tube" (I would call a preamp tube a tube in the p... | |
| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) I will really like to hear others people experience with a relatively low cost piece of gear or a relatively low cost system... "relatively" means the price matter not, That’s an interesting definition of "relatively." So if the cost doesn’t m... | |
| 12AX7A preamp tubes - ribbed vs smooth plate It's a mono block amplifier with 8 KT 88 and 6 small tubes ( 4 rectifier, 2 preamp). I assume the "2 preamp" tubes are the amps input tubes or driver tubes? |
