| What are you favorite artists and songs to listen to on your system? So to throw a curveball at you guys a band that many music-philes and critics turn their noses up at Phish. These guys are playing the best music of their careers right now, I'm talking live shows, and the recording quality of their shows has beco... | |
| A little help please That's fantastic customer service by Audio Connection and very glad to hear you're happy with your new system! Until of course that nagging feeling sets in that things could be better if I just had, new speaker cables? A tube amp that has more pow... | |
| A push-pull tube design and Single-ended class A designs As with most things it's not the topology it's who's implementing it. There are good and bad examples of both types of amps. | |
| Friday Night In San Francisco - best digital version I assume he means the Dimeola/Mclaughlin/Paco de Lucia album it's a classic. I just have the plain old CD and it sounds good to me. | |
| Should we use ridiculously priced cables to listen to Rap? Haha awesome thank you sir! | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV 50 Jazz no mistrust was implied or intended dude I promise! And yes Roly any updates? | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell I'll go with my amp, Deja Vu Audio amp, a push-pull EL34 amp putting out 17 watts per side. I love this amp especially since the Aerovox cap upgrade I did last year. It's reliable, sounds fantastic, and is cheap to retube just 4 EL34's 3 6sn7's an... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio @jwglista I am with you on ribbon tweeters silk or even a good metal tweeter sounds much smoother and with plenty of highs for my ears. I will also say the Pass is relatively high end as integrated amps go but both the Primaluna and Rogue are mor... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio It would be helpful to know the rest of your system, cables in particular. Particularly if you are coming from tubes and are using silver cables, to make a gross generalization, the combo of SS and silver can certainly come across as bright or ana... | |
| Need small size speakers for fireplace. Make sure you get something made of MDF or wood that will burn well but I would at least remove the drivers or crossovers first! ;) | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system @tostadosunidos I wasn't "quick to accuse" nor did I necessarily accuse at all I just felt something should be said after Taters harping on rap/hip-hop over 3 different threads here. Though at this point I think it's pretty apparent that Taters is... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system @onhwy61 Thank you for articulately stating what I was flailing around trying to say. | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Let's see its his second thread devoted to why rap is either not music or not worth listening too in just a few days plus he brought up the exact same subject in a totally unrelated thread. Now I didn't call it veiled racism, I said "its beginning... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Taters at this point isn't that just about enough on the subject? It's beginning to smack of veiled racism at this point. Music is music and people listen to whatever the hell they want. Let it go. | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV 50 I would agree with that pretty much though I prefer the KT77 to the 6CA7 in my system. I had JJ 6CA7's still have them around as backups. I did also just put in a new quad of Psvane Philips Holland Metal Base EL-34's and they are quite good a bit ... |
