| Adding a Subwoofer to Khorns You will need something very fast. JL Audio's Fathom 113 should be a great match. I've not heard them paired of with Khorns, but have heard them with Avalon Indras and a Hovland VTL combo and they are killer combo there. | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. Man, Bill, you ARE the Dealer Police, dude! I'm not a dealer, but I play one on TV. Depends on what they actually said, but in some sense your dealer is feeding you a bit of crap flap jacks with some crunchy bits and no syrup to cut that crappy ta... | |
| Paradisea owners Grant turned me on to the relatively inexpensive GE 5-star tube which does indeed sound great in the Paradisea. Beyond that, the cream rising to the top of many lists is the Bendix and the WE. Cheaper than a new DAC... | |
| Favorite Tube Combinations I have most of the usual suspect 6SN7s and keep them so that I may change with my mood, with the recording and to achieve a particular spin on the music. Subjective?, yes of course it is.Here's a few for your collection. | |
| Paradisea owners I've been happy with mine, but can't help wonder what else is out there. This is where it all begins....God help you...or budha...or Allah...somebody, help poor Mingles! | |
| Tube Ampp Almarro low level hum There are some power re-generators that have the potential to put out a constant clean output. I believe PS Audio offers several. You may be able to spend less money on installing a dedicated circuit with isolated ground, but if the fluctuations a... | |
| Paradisea owners I've seen a few Paradiseas for sale stepping up to the Havana. My friend made that upgrade and I'm pretty sure he felt the Havana was a nice improvement but haven't heard them together myself. Right in your price range. You may also want to check ... | |
| Oppo Blu-ray ??? You may want to ask your question on the AVS forum thread established by Oppo for feedback and info. You can find plenty of info and links there. | |
| Favorite Tube Combinations This is pretty much exactly what I was responding. It's all rather subjective anyway...one mans ideal combination is another's one-tube-short of a circus. Sure, there's bound to be some general consensus in users, but if you don't fall under that ... | |
| WAV file WAV files actually do not support metadata. The data that is associated with them in iTunes is a direct function of the iTunes software, as I understand it. So if you copy via drag-and-drop all the associated data will be lost. This is a huge disa... | |
| Favorite Tube Combinations What combinations of tubes have you found to synergize?I'm a bit perplexed by your question. How well combinations of tubes synergize depends mostly upon the circuit/component you are using them in, as well as on the specific tubes you use, not to... | |
| Anyone use a DVD player as a front end? It's even more interesting that they're using a 9 year-old player via the analog outputs. Pioneer actually used to produce some excellent players with great transports (I think it was their Elite PD65), but the player you mention is definitely not... | |
| Tube Ampp Almarro low level hum Yes, as Swampwalker said, or rather, let me paraphrase; Hum Happens. Not a defect or necessarily worn out (Could be loose bolts, which you could address). Could also be a drop in voltage (I think when you get on 10% or so you could induce some hum... | |
| American-made integrated tube amplifiers Hey Trelja - Ralph's gotta be a tremendous assett to have on that project. Dude's a true Renaissance man with a great passion for music. That sounds like a product worth waiting for! Tell him I'll see him next year in band camp! I agree 100% that... | |
| American-made integrated tube amplifiers Trelja - that sounds like a great goal. Manufacturing does need to come back here to this country in a big way, and with it a return of pride of workmanship. I only hear good things about Rogue here. I can echo the same kind of recommendation for ... |
