| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. That and the use of an all-tube recording chain! | |
| Not manufactured any more. @yogiboy : good choice for the DQ-10! I am lucky to have a nicely restored pair that I bought locally for $375! | |
| Not manufactured any more. Snell Type A - I own a pair! They sold new for $1390 in 1977! What a shame for this quality you have to pay five figures today! | |
| Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS? Like the World really needs more five-figure speakers! | |
| How much gear do you own? I have three rooms full of audio gear and guitars! Enough to equip a store! Too much is never enough! | |
| Integrated tube amp for quad ESL63 A pair of Dynaco Mk III's with a passive pot connected to your favorite digital source! That would be a tasty combination indeed! | |
| Refurbished Amber Series 70 I have one in my collection of vintage gear. It is indeed an excellent amp of moderate power! The Audio Critic gave it a very favorable rating - System B. IMO it is competitive with today's four-figure gear! | |
| More expensive = better? There are plenty of vintage amps available for less than $1K that sound as good as any of today's over-priced gear! I paid around $900 for a Perreaux 2150B - 340/680/920wpc @8/4/2 ohms. Sounds as good as any four/five figure amp! | |
| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? Belles! | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? Altec Stonehenge 1 is a killer speaker for LOUD rock and metal! I have a pair - and prefer them over the Model 19. | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It Bob Carver's The Cube sub was indeed 12" x12" x12" and went down to 2Ohz loud! Long excursion butyl surround and a 2000watt class D amp (the size of a chocolate bar) inside. Now that's innovative thinking! Ditto for his Amazing Speaker from 1990 -... | |
| Soulution 725 or Robert Koda Takumi k10? Forget the 725 and the Takumi. Go for the Mayer Silver 10Y instead! What a cool triode tube from way back! Bet it sounds real sweet and musical being a DHT (Direct Heated Triode). | |
| Ok to substitute 12AX7 for 5751 tubes in CJ Amp? @thecarpathian : thank you for catching my mistake! Brain fog setting in! I have made the correction in my above posts! Thanks! | |
| Ok to substitute 12AX7 for 5751 tubes in CJ Amp? +1 @facten : A man who knows his tubes! I own many of those 12AU7 sub's! | |
| Ok to substitute 12AX7 for 5751 tubes in CJ Amp? +1 @atmasphere ! Sticking to the original tubes is always best! When buying 5751’s always try to buy the 3 mica version. The 2 mica version has poorer resistance to microphonics. |
