| Can tube rolling change bass? To answer your question, tube rolling can affect bass to a minor degree. FME, bass is mostly affected by the room and speaker location. Smaller bass adjustments can be had by equipment, amps, preamps etc. Smaller yet bass adjustments can be had by... | |
| Are you ever satisfied? I'm down with Jax2's reply. Maybe it's because, like Marco, I'll also turn half a century soon (in June), and I also find tweaking losing it's luster. I'm happier just listening nowadays....life's too short.Cheers,John | |
| Tube preamp for techno and other bass-heavy music? I would look for a used BAT preamp. I've heard many different tube preamps and IMHO BAT offers not just the best bass performance in a tube preamp, but one of the best bass performaces from any type of preamp period, tube or solid state. You shoul... | |
| So Many DACs - So Little Time Is this a wanted ad? Why wouldn't you just get number 1 on your preference list? | |
| Best Powerchord for DIGITAL sources? what are you. Try the Purist Limited Edition Power Cord , it's probably just what you're looking for.Cheers,John | |
| Cable I agree with Azjake right up to the "BUT THEN YOU ARE DONE!" part. I've gone both routes too, and have been happy both ways. The last time I had a system wired with all one kind of cables (Tara Labs Decade) was about a decade ago. I was done for a... | |
| New spreakers sound great But Here is a link to one of Scott's earlier threads, for those that may be interested. It appears that his new speakers are DIY, and now he just blew out a channel in his amp on the first day. Is this correct Scott? If so, I would be very leary of ho... | |

| Music from House, MD Great tune!! I was listening to it over the computer speakers, and my 22 year old son in the other room asked what it was. He loved it too, and downloaded it. Thanks.Cheers,John | |
| Separates vs. Integrated I agree with all of the posts above. Pick your speakers first, then worry about what will drive them best. In your price range, I think you will definitely get more bang for the buck with an integrated amp. There are some very good integrateds to ... | |
| Cable advice for moderate system 01-12-10: JessenovGeez... I thought it's an audiophile forum, where people know what they are talking about...Do not get Trebejo started, you'll regret it, just walk away. Fair warning.Cheers,John | |
| Is Hi-fi getting more expensive? I am in my thirties and we need to find a way to attract new blood.Yxlei While I don't disagree with this comment, I can't see how it's going to happen. The first thing that needs to change would be to make better music. Many of the old time music... | |
| Convert cartridge output voltage to db gain Hello John,Thanks for the information. I'd love to hear the new Reference, but my life has changed quite a bit, and ultra high end hi-fi is no longer a part of it. I looked at the SSSS, but it was out of my price range now. I use a 2 meter run fro... | |
| Is Hi-fi getting more expensive? Yes, Hi-Fi is getting more expensive, as is everything else. Hi-Fi is just following the economic demands, just like other hobbies. The middle class is deteriorating, the poor don't buy Hi-Fi, so Hi-Fi is targeting the rich more nowadays.I also re... |
