| Impressions from Capital Audio Fest Hi Peter I thought Triangle Art sounded quite good they were playing some goofy sounding whimsical percussion music. As I said to my friend the music suits this silly blinged out room but damn it sounds good. | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Always a polite and positive comment unless the friend specifically asks me to critique their system. | |
| An audio component you just can't let go When I bought my new to me Auralic Aries G1 I boxed up my Aries Mini but couldn't bring myself to sell it. For 6 years it was utterly reliable and nearly flawless and I figure I may find use for it again some day. | |
| Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages I've never got a text from Agon just an occasional email when I log in on a different device, usually when traveling. | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass + 1 @onhwy61 and once determined then play around with speaker positioning. | |
| Calling All Tube Gurus I'm currently running two different branded NOS 2a3 tubes in my Wright monos matched by Tube Depot. One is GE the other is Raytheon I believe and they sound fantastic. | |
| What is your favorite budget streamer? A used Auralic Aries Mini if you can find one. | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? You got Uncle Tupelo’s Whisky Bottle but missed their other song I Got Drunk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uVFLKXtme8 Hmm it seems you can't embed media on Audiogon anymore or I just don't know how to do it. | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? It should be noted overrated does not mean bad plenty of good products are also overrated. | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? You could also do a pushpull 300B amp that will get you closer to 25 watts. | |
| Does old-fashioned necessarily mean out of date? A product that sounds good will always sound good, and technological advances where tubed gear is concerned are overrated. | |
| Why tube rectification? I will say this in my amps that have tube rectification the rectifier tube has a definite effect on the sound. That said I've also listened to very good amps that are SS rectified so there's more than one way to skin the cat. | |
| Newbie, first time tube rolling. Yes why waste tube hours on silence listen to them! | |
| Phil Lesh From my first show 7/6/86 to my last 9/24/94 and beyond I've considered Phil a musical genius. RIP Phil. And very nice to see Phish open their show tonight with Box of Rain. | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! I'll be there on Sunday. |
