| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? I got rid of the VCR and tapes long ago! I have a nice collection of movies on DVD. When I saw the first DVD players back around 2002 I knew that was the future! And they played CDs too! | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? @rixthetrick : I watch a lot of over-the-air broadcasts on the 19". Certainly limited selection compared to cable. The ABC and FOX news shows done with HD cameras look quite impressive for a cheap TV! OTA broadcasts of movies made with better came... | |
| Rogers LS3/5A Need Help Damaged tweeters! Those are KEF T27's selected in matched pairs! A stupid thing to remove the shields and put a hole in each tweeter! Forty years ago I never heard of anyone modding the LS3/5A. Definitely ruins the resale value! | |
| linear tracking player in the shape of a musical box So you want to re-invent Edison's Cylinder for microgroove? A real pipe dream! | |
| Best DACs for under $1500 in 2021 Khadas 2 Tone Pro - $199! Uses the ESS chip. Also includes a headphone amp. | |
| Kimber Select new Phono Interconnects So you need an IC between an active step up (head amp) and phono stage? I have a Marcof PPA-1. I use an Audioquest Silver Extreme. $90 from HCM. Formerly sold for $400! At the sale price can't be beat! Why pay more? | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? My $90 Insignia flat screen has a picture quality far superior to any CRT set! | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? Manufacturers are all too eager to encourage these beliefs in pursuit of profits. | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? Audio tweeks are Flat Earth Science. To the believers this is their religion! It, like all religions is faith-based. Attempts to verify these beliefs by scientific trial are lambasted as heresy! | |
| I agree with Keef Let's hear them do Midnight Rambler again in concert! One of my favorite Stones alblums is the live Get Yer YaYa's Out recorded at Madison Square Garden. | |
| Why do components sound different? Tube gear does sound different - not better - than solid state! But transparent to the source? No! Hence the quest for that magic set of tubes - preferably NOS - that will elevate a tube component to the next level of sonic goodness! Witness the a... | |
| Are Pre-Amps necessary? Preamps can look real cool - like my Audio Research SP6! However a passive pot works just as well since most all DACs output 2 volts - enough to drive most all amps into clipping (1 volt needed). | |
| I agree with Keef The Stones are old fogeys! They haven't made a good record since 1994's Voodoo Lounge! Now here's a song they did way back in 1972 on Goat's Head Soup - STAR STAR! | |
| An Homage to Long Term Ownership Come to think of it I still have and use the AT record weight that I bought around the same time! | |
| An Homage to Long Term Ownership I still have the Ariston RD11S in use that I bought way back in 1977 for $270 new. Present tonearm is a Grace 707 with a Denon 103. Original belt gets an occasional wipe down with Armor All - still works fine! Bearing gets a few drops of oil every... |
