| Wait- OMG! The song is really about...? Please enlighten me, Miller, which EJ album is the song on? I don't remember it, like so many things these days.Regards,Dan | |
| Great amp service by Paul Birkeland Amen, Marty! | |
| Harry James, The King James Version Hello Jim, thank you for your post. Whereabouts do you live in The Great Northwest? I would welcome you to my modest home and system, and hearing a quality DAC like the Pandora would no doubt be quite informative for me.Thanks and regards,Dan | |
| Harry James, The King James Version Those Edison discs sound remarkably good, considering what they had to work with. What I heard back in '70 was a far cry from what Edison had to offer (consider how many great recordings Rudy Van Gelder made in the 50's and 60's).Those listeners b... | |
| Harry James, The King James Version As the OP, I have to tell "The Rest Of The Story". Back in 1970, I had friends that had an R'nR band (who didn't back then), and also a remote recording studio. They were recording a junior college jazz band concert. Instead of using headphones, t... | |
| Harry James, The King James Version Thanks for your responses, guys. Back around 35-40 years ago, I had quite a few D2D's. They got gone during a nasty divorce, along with my Tannoys and the rest of my system.I started over, and eight years or so ago, I got back into vinyl, and fina... | |
| DL-103r with a Soundsmith Retip revelation I'm glad to see you now know what I've learned about the 103R. Mine was a very closely-matching Zu Denon, which I sent to ESCCO in London for their white sapphire cantilever-Paratrace stylus upgrade. I'm very happy with it, though I've taken flack... | |
| This is a brilliant interview of Keith Thanks, Shadorne, that was fun. | |
| The Audio Gods are tough but fair-Have you had the "Curse of the 300B" ? I use my SET 300B to drive my 94db Tannoy HPD 315 custom built speakers, and really love the sound, so I get what you are saying. For everyday listening and video sound (multi-channel), a 500 Wpc Class D amp and two subwoofers.When using the 300B,... | |
| Does it make sense to use 6k$ Nos tube with 5K$ tube amplifier? larryi, I just pulled one of my EML XLS 300B tubes a few minutes ago, and when I went to reinsert it, I had it turned 180 degrees out. It would NOT go in that way. These are ceramic sockets, so I'll have to disagree with that assertion, at least o... | |
| Does it make sense to use 6k$ Nos tube with 5K$ tube amplifier? Thomas, it seems to me it might be appropriate for you to try a few different sets of tubes that are being made currently. Takatsuki, EML XLS 300B (which I use and love in my Audio Assemblage SET 300B, purchased on auction here on Audiogon for $75... | |
| Has anyone tried the Sun Valley 211/845 amp kit? Thanks, that all sounds like real good advice. Good thing my life insurance is up-to-date.Dan | |
| Has anyone tried the Sun Valley 211/845 amp kit? I already have a beautiful sounding SET 300B. I am tantalized by those big triode tubes, an itch that wants scratching. DIY seems to be in my DNA. I just hope my itch doesn't kill me.Any useful safety tips for dealing with these voltages?Dan | |
| Has anyone tried the Sun Valley 211/845 amp kit? Well, I taught myself to solder pretty well, so that's not an issue. Possibly killing myself IS an issue. The vendor will build the unit, if requested. That shoots down my idea of building it myself, which I do enjoy. I've built three Class D amps... | |
| Has anyone tried the Sun Valley 211/845 amp kit? Thank you noromance, yes I have seen it, but I was hoping to hear from someone that has actually built one, and listened to it in action. I'm not too sure if I should even tackle it, considering the high voltages it uses, but curiosity about this ... |
