| Comparing speakers at home questions What particular speakers are you talking about ? | |
| Comparing speakers at home questions Play the new speakers first, and they must be burnt in for a few hundred hours before critical listening, for a few minutes. Do you generally like their presentation ? If not - there is nothing to talk about. If you do, start comparing with the ol... | |
| When to change a cartridge? Bill, you are a serious musician. I wanted to ask you about Lamm amps. Did you compare them with other top tube amps ? VAC, CAT, some Japanese perhaps ? In any case, there must be something very special about Lamm. But you don't use Lamm preamp o... | |
| Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ? 10M are sort of guaranteed for 10000 hours. Well, other Mullards might last just as long if you are lucky, but I don't count on it. I count on 5000 hours. So far I have about 2000 hours on the narrow long plates. | |
| When to change a cartridge? Bill, of course it makes sense. What is your musical instrument ? Your system is so good that, yes, there is absolutely no need to think about upgrades unless perhaps it is relatively minor, just some fine tuning - tube here, cable there. I keep... | |
| Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ? I can't say because I only installed Mullard 12AX7 narrow long plates in my VAC's Avatar SE preamp section and they sound excellent. I did read that, yes, there is a difference, there is quite a range of Mullard sound. | |
| Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ? I see. Yes, it might be equipment dependent to a degree. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? I heard that Gryphon and Accuphase stock cords are not too bad. And also Boulder, I think. The most important cable in the system is tonearm cable not power cords. | |
| When to change a cartridge? Bill, that's quite a set up that you have. What would it take to go even higher ? | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Thank you. ProAc 3.8 is within this price range. Would they match well with my amp ? I have no idea. | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? Well, I also have $4k-$5k front end but I don't pay for records that much. I don't go over $100 or so per record, though did pay $150 once. That was a promo copy of the first Japanese edition of Bitches Brew by Miles Davis. It sounds best, and I h... | |
| AC Power ghdprentice, what conditioner do you have ? | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? Yes, there is a point, unless you already have one of the very best. Other priorities ? What are you talking about ? | |
| How stereo changed our lives. Yes, cassette, still the tape. Bill, you are probably right about LPs and 45s, I don’t know. Still, I would guess quite a number of people had reel-to-reel decks. | |
| How stereo changed our lives. Radio was the most important invention. After that - the tape. |
