| To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions @decooney and @pdreher , thanks for the helpful info on that. | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To Anything Leonard Cohen. A true musical poet. @bubinga , in that case, why would Leonard Cohen be on the list of "albums that took [you] the longest to come around to"? | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS To deep-333. You are truly a sophisticated, enlightened connoisseur of musical taste. You can’t beat the sound of Def Leppard blasting away on his multi-channel Von Swikert system. | |
| To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions @immatthewj yes to both questions. @pdreher , although the write up on RAM's site didn't come right out and say so, I am thinking what I did get out of it indicated that RAM's EL34s are the reissued Mullards? | |
| To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions Thanks to OP's thread, I am getting some great ideas for EL34 replacement. I prefer RAM Labs EL34's over RFT EL34's and Gold Lion KT88's. The RAM Labs are a steal @ $140 for a quad. Using NOS Amperex 7308's and TungSol 6SN7WGT's from Brent J... | |
| To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions I was hoping you would catch that. Looks like Glennewdick has the inside line. I haven't used the KT77s yet but have used the KT-88s. I guess my favorite EL-34 is the Tesla. Quicksilver has some but don't know if they will sell them to non-Quicks... | |
| No Wonder You Spend So Much Money On Stereo Equipment How about the listeners' brain? :) Who knows. We were all coked up and jamming out in our own world; we gave the "pep" in pep rallies a new meaning! | |
| No Wonder You Spend So Much Money On Stereo Equipment RE: dopamine levels, I’d like to see a comparison between listening to music and playing it... No comparison IME — there’s nothing like playing live music when the band is locked in. I remember my days playing the cornet in our high school... | |
| JD Souther has passed away @bdp24 , you've seen a lot of good music. I salute you. | |
| JD Souther has passed away Bummer. Total coincidence, but last night I watched a full concert, Warren Zevon at The Capital 1981, and he did a nice cover of Simple Man, Simple Dream. | |
| To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions Try some Gold Lyons all around. And I would switch to EL-34s if you want more tube goodness. I didn't think that the (reissued) Gold Lion made a EL34? Or is the KT77 synonymous with EL34? | |
| No Wonder You Spend So Much Money On Stereo Equipment Dopamine is good. I used to compare buying audio gear to a cocaine habit. However, I always said that audio gear compared favorably because although it has the potential to suck one dry, at least you have something to show for it when you wake ... | |
| Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers! I have had artists over, played their own tracks for them on both stereo and my multichannel rig. You and the guys from Def Leppard must have had a blast. | |
| Speaker wire impedance? Speaker impedance? Thanks for getting back to me @atmasphere ; oops, I see the typo I made. No, two or three years ago my old Radioshack meter failed the drop test and bit the dust. I replaced it with a Southwire meter I bought at Lowes. It was that meter that I to... | |
| Speaker wire impedance? Speaker impedance? @atmasphere , after I read the replies I started thinking that the fact that I had always had at least the amp end of my cables connected when I was trying to measure made my readings to not be valid. I would think that regardless of the length o... |
