| Aerial 10T's - Temporary Solution The best amp I have heard with them is the Bryston 4BSST, next the Bryston 7BST which means the 4BST will also work well. They are so complete with the Bryston, I pulled out the tube amp and left in the Bryston. I also have added a ribbon tweeter ... | |
| A couple of questions about testing 12AX7 tubes. Rating tubes is way overrated. The only way to test them accurately is in circuit with a distortion analyzer, and listen to them. Who cares what the numbers show if they buzz or have high distortion. they can check fine and still buzz or be high d... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State-Basic Question The thing I always go back to is what an "old timer" told me..... that unless there is lethal voltage under the hood, there wouldn't be music. Where do you get lethal voltage....tubes. O sure, I like some SS designs and sound, but tubes usually co... | |
| Any suggestions for amp for Legacy Whisper XD My good friend has the Legacy Whisper and they have sounded bst with Quicksilver Silver monos, or the Mid Mono amps. The Quicksilver are just magical on these. They are fast, quick, dynamic, and dimensional. They are much better tahn the Nu Force ... | |
| Best REL Subwoofer for Magnepan 3.6's I use the James 1500, have had the 1200's in the past and they all worked very well with the 3.6. The Jl Audio are very good, probably better if set up properly. I have only heard one Rel sub, and thought it was too slow, and a bit fat. Probably n... | |
| rodrigo Y gabriela 11:11 Their "stairway to heaven" is a great remake which does justice to the original, yet is unique. Great fun and music...jallen | |
| Sterophile's not so nice review of Bryston The problem with reviews is that they are just not very accurate in that they paint a product with a very small brush, their room, a few amps or preamps... rarely do they use a preamp from the same mauufacturer, their favorite cables may not work ... | |

| V-CAPS TEFLONS OLMP I use .22 600V coupling caps (4) and (2).33 600V input caps and I use them because I haven't heard better caps. They are so clean, detailed, and get out of the way amd impart little to no imprint on the sonics. Many caps are heard, these just let ... | |
| My ears of tin are over 50 The ironic thing is that by the time you are 50, you know what to listen for, but can you still hear over 50? My answer at over 50 is that I can hear better now than ever. The Green ears are no guarantee of a good interpretation. Really, how much ... | |
| The Hub: No moving parts? No problem! I have 4 friends in my city with a pair of them, and 3 of them are active re-builders of them and I can attest to their sound quality. They are very good, especially with bells and horns. One needs to understand them well before embarking on a re-... | |
| Fleetwood Mac The "little band from Liverpool"....I would not quite classify them as "Pop"....how about the ones who helped define rock and roll, acid rock, and yes, pop rock and others. Arguably, the greatest band ever. Just listen to the diversity of Abbey Ro... | |

| Magnepan 1.6 vs. B&W 805N To get the best of your maggies you will need more than tha Adcom will deliver. I have liked the sound of them with Quicksilver Silver monos, Bryston 4BSST, and Eico HF89. They need clean power, and good cables. Do not underestimate how good those... | |
| New V-CAP CuTF capacitor I have the TFTF caps 4 0.22, 2 0.33 both at 600V and they sound splendid. I am tempted also......... |
