| Audio Reseach ref 1 tubes. The experience with my LS-25 was a much more detailed mids, the same amount of treble but more beautiful and more delicately presented, more air and space in the music; mid bass is more defined, more holographic, male singers came to life; Lowest ... | |
| Power Cord For Audio Research gear I can't resist -- this debate is so out of control... At one point in my life when I thought B&W speakers were awesome, I also could not hear the difference in power cords. (I am not saying that B&W are not fine speakers -- I have found th... | |
| Audio Research vs. Aragon I use an ARC VT-100 in my entertainment center. The VT-100 has an internal fan, 8x6550C Power tubes and 8x6922 small signal tubes... I added 2 muffin fans suspended by fishing line, one blowing in at the bottom of the amp, and another blowing out ... | |
| Audio Reseach ref 1 tubes. I have the 6922s from Kevin as well in a LS-25. Highly recommended for the $$. There are a lot of other NOS tubes that are pricey (especially needing 8), but they all have a characteristic sound. Which way do you want your system to change?? | |

| What tube for a Sigma dac? Get the low noise 12AX7 tube directly from CAL. Costs about $35.00, but by far the best option IMHO. The other thing that helps with those is to upgrade all of the connectors from the crappy board mount style to the thru the bulkhead types. CAL ha... | |

| Burn In = Voodoo? No offense taken.... Some good points came out -- that is all that matters. | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? Thanks for beating me into submission on the absolute zero point. Ths scientist in me does not need more schooling, I forgot the detail for the audience.... hence I did not spell out all of the detail. Agreed with you three that explained absolute... | |
| RCA vs XLR Sounds like you ran across one of those people who think Single Ended is the only way to do audio. I am in total agreement with the fact that this guy is wrong -- how can RCA image better when XLR typically has 3-6 dB lower noise floor as compared... | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? Being one of the "scientists" of the group, here is my opinion: Electronics and wires do go through a phenomenon usually referred to as burn-in and break-in. The majority of the changes I see from my industrial knowledge is changes in the electron... | |
| B W monitors too bright? I agree with Mgottlieb's post.. That issue was the case before the Nautilis series as well (for my ears). I have always preferred the 802s to the 801s and they sound amazingly different (to my ears) for being the same product line. I am a B&W ... |
