| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report Correction to my above post the driver in the Charney Audio room was an AER not Lowther. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report I was there yesterday only for about 5 hours and thought overall things sounded better last year than this year. A few rooms I really liked:Charney Audio really lovely sounding system not sure the exact model of speaker but one of the best impleme... | |
| Rules for Trading & Best Trading Experience I've never really thought about rules per se but I've done some trades in the past. The only one I can remember at the moment was a speaker trade. I traded a pair of Alon Lotus SE's for a pair of JMlabs Micro-Utopias following a move to my current... | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? @lowrider is correct those measurements are totally fine and if you think your amp sounds better than LM I would say keep it and be happy. | |
| Personal vs. Market Values Yes there is real truffle oil and there is fake truffle oil. And yes white truffles are absolutely amazing especially with scrambled eggs or anything with eggs really. | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? @simna Yes he answered my email this was some time ago maybe about 4-5 years ago. I have since changed my email and don’t have the correspondence any longer but it was the Tube Technology contact email; contact@tubetechnology.co.uk so I don’t know... | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? Oh ok I saw their website was still up but hard to tell if they were still in business. Are you in the US or elsewhere? If you are in the US, or even not, perhaps try reaching out to Zia Faruqui through Manley? I corresponded with him once years b... | |
| Which EL34 is your favorite and why? Genalex Gold Lion KT77 reproductions are to me hands down the best sounding current production EL34 type. The tube is a drop in replacement for EL34's in most but not all amps so double check with LM. | |
| Personal vs. Market Values Truffle oil is for drizzling and finishing not for cooking. I am a bit surprised you can't taste it the flavor is very strong and distinct. Have you ever tried it just on its own to get an idea what it tastes like? | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? @simna I can understand your frustration but have you tried reaching out to Tube Technology? | |
| Biasing a valve amp You only bias power tubes on an amp not the others so if you have 4 resistors and 4 power tubes there you go. | |
| Wyred4S or Bluesound Node 2i You can listen to lossless on your Sonos it supports Tidal streaming with I would recommend checking out. Far better sounding that Spotify albiet with a smaller catalog. Getting your Sonos upgraded by Wyred4S might get you a better sounding device... | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? I have no idea what I have no idea what constitutes an "ultra-fast capacitor" but it's unlikely caps are the issue as stated by others above. Also you don't actually need to understand damping factor, just the different output taps and use the one... | |
| Tidal Hifi has a very limited jazz selection Tidal has an excellent jazz collection not as big as Spotify but still large and varied. I cannot listen to Spotify the quality is just too poor. | |
| Amp for SF Amati Homage? Rogue Zeus or 180, Jadis Defy 7, Quicksilver 88 or 90 or M-135 If you can stretch your budget a little bit this would work nicely:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis95fh7-air-tight-atm-2-classic-tubeA really nice 80 watt $18,000 amp for $4950. I had its little brother the ATM-1 some years back and it sounde... |
