| Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get In that tube family E88CC/E88CCa/6DJ8/6922 you have a plethora of choices. Many of the best tubes are no longer being made and are available NOS at premium prices. If you get NOS it's best to buy from a reputable dealer, especially if you are just... | |
| Review: Klipsch La Scala Speaker The tweeters in mine are K77's I believe. They are original and do have round magnet housings. Regarding the ALK crossover, it does improve some aspects of the sound, and dramatically so, but after two days of experimenting and listening I kept co... | |
| Review: Klipsch La Scala Speaker If you think your LaScala's sound good now, try switching to tube gear with those wonderful horns. It will bring the sound to a completely different level, and make those big boxes really sing for you! Regarding your EQ; Some folks like the afterm... | |
| High End Myth Glossary. Marakanetz - Just in case you, or anyone else really thought I was serious about that, let me make it more clear: The reference to WE 300B's was a joke to illustrate how ridiculous the presumption that, "I" know exactly what "YOU" (and the rest of... | |
| High End Myth Glossary. That the way "I" perceive the world is the identical way "you" perceive the world. Regardless of "proven" scientific facts the way we perceive those "facts" is ALL psychological: We create the way we perceive the world around us in each of our own... | |
| A pair of "warm sounding"6922 tub Mdomnick - The Rocket 6H30 tubes I mentioned are Russian tubes and are supposed to be very good. However I have tried the Sovtek version of the 6922 tubes and they were horrible in comparison to the other tubes I mentioned in my earlier post. I do... | |
| A pair of "warm sounding"6922 tub I recently did some rolling with an Audiophile buddy with 6922's in our ARC-LS2B's. These amps are hybrid designs and use only a single 6922 tube so YMMV. In fact I believe observations regarding specific tube types would vary widely depending on ... | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? PS I meant to say, ...with the Silverlines in a BIG listening room..." In a smaller room they were all I needed, but in the larger room (1200sf with 12 foot ceilings) I wanted for more muscle. | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? I had an Aleph 5 for a few months (60 watt version of the Aleph 3). Closest to tubes I've heard SS come, and a damn nice amp in its own right. I was pairing it off with a ARC LS2B (tube hybrid...sorry, don't recall the output impedence, but mine h... | |
| Best Thread on Audiogon? I've only been on Audiogon for about a year now, but I'd have to say that I particlarly enjoy the music threads as I've been able to get so many wonderful reccommendations from them. In that vein I just checked out Rcprince's vote, Most Achingly B... | |
| Klipsch La Scala The speakers you are looking at likely had a grill cloth covering the inside front originally (if only that mid/high section up top is black). I believe you could still get replacement grill cloths from Klipsch parts. The serial numbers for those ... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Gabbro - If you like that Biber disc also try "The Seven Words" (Haydn), performed by Rosamunde Quartett on ECM New Series. It is a contemporary take on that piece with no ominous vocals that are usually a part of the piece. It is purely instrumen... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" T bone- If you enjoy a modern twist on Fado singing, and you haven't yet heard them, DEFINITELY check out Madredeus. I have too many of their albums, and enjoy all of them so it would be difficult to list a favorite, but there is a good compilatio... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" I'm taking some good notes here too...thanks folks! I've got some great recommendations from this list over many threads like this! I'll second the recommendation for Biber's Unam Ceylum: Wonderful Disc which I got a while back and couldn't stop p... | |
| Good site for hard to find classical used and new Many thanks Gileon!!! I've really been enjoying the Testament/Bethoven, so I will definitley seek out the Tchaikovsky. I've also been enjoying the EMI Vengerov recording of the Ysaye sonata's since seeing him perform here in Seattle. I heard it wa... |
