| Appogg isolation platform under preamp Audiobuilder,Well the designer/builder stopped by with another surprise, an arm full of the darn things! He put one under my amp as well as the power supply and yes sir, it does make a difference under your amp. It seems that no matter where it is... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Jcspinks,Hang in there, I have got to be in excess of 300 hours and my top end really snapped into place. If you're only at 80 hours or so you've got a little while to go. I said screw it and just left my darn amp on, got tired of waiting. I'm a l... | |
| Appogg isolation platform under preamp Audio Builder,I was surprised to see your post here on these platforms as I currently am lucky enough to be auditioning these babies.I too was at the dealers open house(Man I sure liked those Eben 3 speakers, wow!!) as well and after speaking to t... | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits Ok, just wanted to let everyone know that all of the cables are back from cryo and are currently simmering away on the Audiodharma. I'm going to let them cook over the weekend and then they're on their way to their new home!On a different subject;... | |
| classe 301 vs sim w5 Hi Paul,If you get the chance you should really give one of the older Classe amps a listen. The CA-300 is a real gem and IMO is much more musical than the newer models. I have a CA-300 and just love the darn thing, they're a little more on the war... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Jcspinks,Thank you for keeping us updated. Hang in there, I was thinking the same thing as well. They obviously take quite a few hours before they really start to sing, I'm pretty sure that mine are still improving and I know I'm approaching 300 h... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Jcspinks,Thanks for your response. Once you get those babies you'll note they're pretty darn good right out of the box and then after 30-50 hours they take a dive, hang in there-they'll be back.I have yet to play with the bias though I would like ... | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits Sherord,I'll send Pat's cables to you first for inspection and then you can forward them on to him with your seal of approval after proper assesment(SP?) ;)Pat, Ha ha, ok ok they're fine, just had to give you some lip. They are on the way back and... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Ok now we're talking! I've kept the amp on since the 29th and last night I sat down for a serious listen. The Treasure tubes are definately going through a change for the better; the bass has tightened up allot compared to what we heard Sat/Sun an... | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits Pat,Just got a note from the cryo treatment center; your cables exploded/shattered. Sorry man, that's a shame.... ;)John | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits Rx8man,Just thought you'd like to know your new Silkworm+'s are currently at -325 F!! They'll be down there for a few days too, man that's cold! Best,John | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Quick update; I've had the amp on for two days straight now and was finally able to spend a few mintues giving them a listen late last night. The Treasure tubes are starting to sound better, bottom end is getting tighter, the midrange seems to hav... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Not much for an update on tube break in as I've torn down my system to rearrange my rack but will have it back together and up & running today.Rachel,Thank you for your response, much appreciated. I figured something was amiss as I was compari... | |
| Interconnects for Rotel. ShaunP,I tell you, you can get a set of the Kimber Hero's right now for a song and they are a great little interconnect that you will most likely really enjoy. Some really good deals on used ones here on the Gon right now. Best,John | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Hi Ian,I spoke to you on the phone about the tubes a few weeks ago, thank you for all your help. I really would love to give the TT CV-181's a try but I just read that review you posted and I have a question; in his review the gentleman states; "T... |
