| Lie you told your wife to buy equipment? 08-26-08: Rubber"Honey, this gadget will make all the electrons in the house flow straighter and thus improve our love life."My wife does not want to hear that! She'd rather hear me say that this new amp will replace my desire for intimacy.Sheesh,... | |
| Lie you told your wife to buy equipment? I never lie, but I do not claim full disclosure either. After 25 years of marriage we have come to the old "don't ask, don't tell" routine. She doesn't ask about my audio habit, and I don't ask her where all of the clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc com... | |
| Why are people selling there Marantz pm-11s1's? Keith, this is AudiogoN, where everything is for sale. The archives are littered with "Why so many XYZ's for sale?" threads. Now you can add yours to that list. Welcome to AudiogoN, where EVERYTHING is for sale.FWIW, I am considering a serious dow... | |
| Members with No Feedback FWIW, the new International member with the Japanese MO came through with no issues. Now he has some positive feedback.Cheers,John | |
| Integrateds: Warm sounding SS vs Hybrid Bill, surely you are not speaking of Dave (Dcstep) are you?Cheers,John | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? Well I cannot say that I have heard the latest Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha p/c with my ARC Ref 3, I have heard many cords, including the older series Anaconda Matrix Alpha and Vx, as well as the Nordost Valhalla (amongst many others). I still fe... | |
| Integrateds: Warm sounding SS vs Hybrid Nate (Natewalker_2006), my apologies if you are truely a sheep in sheep's clothing. Like I said, I am happy when folks find great sound, especially for a good price. It would really help your case if you would go into more threads/details about yo... | |
| Integrateds: Warm sounding SS vs Hybrid Sandman012, you can order the Red Wine Sig 30.2 as an integrated amp, with a volume control, and two inputs on the rear apron. Check the website for pics.Now, that being said, this thread is starting to scare me. I'm having flashbacks to about thr... | |
| Integrateds: Warm sounding SS vs Hybrid How about a BAT VK-300x SE integrated? Hybrid design and remote control, check one out if you can. If the BAT is too pricey, try a Marantz PM11-S1. Not a hybrid, but a good sounding integrated with a remote for less $$$.Happy hunting,John | |
| Gold interconnect comparison help Congrats, I'm glad that you enjoy them. IME, the Hybrid did not change as much on burn in as the Vermeil did. The Vermeil changed dramatically after about 100 hours, possibly due to the plating, I'm not sure. As I recall, the Hybrid did not change... | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? Not that I would disagree with you Oneobgyn, as I haven't experimented with my Ref 3 tubes either, and according to this thread I don't intend to. However, out of curiousity, whilst speaking with the ARC folks, did they happen to mention that the ... | |
| Counterpoint SA3000 Any Good ? I second all of the above replies. The SA3000 was a pretty decent unit, but a SA5000 or a SA-5.1 would beat it pretty easily, IMHO. Mostly due to the tube rectification in the power supply. Tube gain stages are nice, but a tube regulated power sup... | |
| Gold interconnect comparison help Congrats Paul!! You'll have to let us know what you think after the Hybrids have burned in.Cheers,John | |
| Gold interconnect comparison help Pdreher, I am using a ARC Ref 3 and a BAT VK-75SE modified by Bob Backert of RHB Sound Dezign running fully balanced with my Verity PE's, not PO's.As for my opinion, both cables are terrific, and bargains at their price point. The Rapture had bett... | |
| Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL Is the sound back to normal Deb? If so then it would seem like you simply had a tube go bad...these things happen, and you should have no more worries. If the left speaker is still dead, perhaps the tube took a driver or two with in with some DC l... |
