| What's up with ads for $70,000 speakers selling I hear you. I often ignore those ads. I saw some Tannoy ads that were more advertising to check out a dealer's booth at a show. I'm fine with those ads.One thing that is a bit worrisome to me is that there are ads for moderately priced gear and th... | |
| Very interesting radio shack vs. audioquest Hi RrogFor the guy who used solid core thermostat wire was it the 18-5 or 18-3 wire? Also did they say what they did with the extra wire? Was it just snipped or wrapped around positive wire?If anyone else has used thermostat wire and want to share... | |
| ASL Mini Phono I know some time has passed on this thread but does anyone else have any thoughts or experiences on the ASL Mini Phono they would like to share? I'm getting more addicted to tubes and was thinking about getting the ASL Mini Phono to replace a Camb... | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s Anyone have any thoughts on the Penta Labs KT-88SC tubes as a replacement to the 6550? | |
| Need an inexpensive phono stage For me I really enjoy the Cambridge Audio 640P Phono preamp with the turntables I've had/have. What is the TT and cart that you have with your associated gear you mention? | |
| Replasment for Mullard Long Plates? Hey Wolf. Good to know those preferred 7025s work well with the stock EH 12AT7s. One less pair of tubes to buy. At the rate I'm going I will be crushed under a pile of tubes very soon. I've got way too many sets on hand already. From Mullard to JJ... | |
| Rogue Metis vs. Emotiva USP-1 Hi GlenI had an Emotiva USP-1 and did use it's phone stage with a Concept 2QD turntable that had an Audio Technica MM cart with an AT11SE stylus. I found the sound to be very enjoyable over the budget phono preamps I had in place before. I was usi... | |
| Replasment for Mullard Long Plates? Hey Wolf.Thanks for posting your findings on the "Preferred 7025s". I may add them to my fast growing list of 12AX7 tubes to try on my Jolida. What 12AT7 tubes are you using with the Preferred 7025s to get the sound you are describing? | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? Hi SunnyJimI don't know if another kind of amp sounds better than another. It just may sound different or you may prefer one type of sound an amp makes in your system vs. another. Just my opinion. The reason I say that is I had the lower powered R... | |
| Need a heavy duty receptacle Hi MarkpaoWhat power cords are you using where their bulk is causing it to back out of the receptacles you have?I use the Porter Ports both old and new in my system and they firmly grip the 12AWG power cords I have.The PS Audio Decora Style recept... | |
| Matching up speakers and amps A possible upgrade for your McCormack DNA .5 is to try and score a used DNA .5 that has been upgraded by SMc Audio. Sometimes you can find them here on A'gon for about $900- $1000+. If not you can send it to SMc Audio for mods. Whenever I've spoke... | |
| Experience/Thoughts on Duende Criatura Tube Rings Thank you both for chiming in. I think I'm going to stick with Herbie's dampers. They are more proven and a bit easier on the wallet than the Duende tube rings. | |
| Any new tweaks out there? Jmcgrogan2 beat me to it. The tweaks and ads from Coconut Audio are the only ones coming to my mind.I have enjoyed some the tweaks that Elizabeth has mentioned. I did a combination of them. It was speaker wire with ferrite cores and a 6 volt lante... | |
| Review: DH Labs Power Plus Power cord Has anyone ever used the DH Labs Power Plus AC Cable on a tube amplifier? If so what were your thoughts on the pairing? Any other thoughts on the DH Labs Power Plus cables are more than welcome. I'm researching budget power cords as I've found som... | |
| Audiogon's most knowledgeable PC Audio gurus? Glad to know we have a lot of PC Audio gurus here. One thing that comes to my mind though is the list is not that useful because we can't send PMs to one another. Hopefully the A'gon powers that be restore that functionality soon but I'm thinking ... |
