| Help . . . I’m dumber than my active speakers! Well you have a pretty killer system it just may sound better than those Dutch & Dutch 8C's. That said definitely experiment with positioning. | |
| Is it even possible to get a factory authorized dealer to give a discount? If you establish a relationship with a good dealer and give them repeat business you will get some discounts. You will also likely get better sound overall. | |
| Line Magnetic 218a vs Leben CS600 -- am I insane? (aka when good beats great) I would think a SET 211 amp might sound better than a PP EL34/6L6 amp regardless of manufacturer. | |
| Audio Artistry Beethoven Elite @dweller We must have different interpretations of hard! Don't you need at least two stereo or 4 mono amps to run these? Killer speakers once you do get them running @francij8 ! | |
| Is it a Bad Tube or a Bad fuse (Fuse Fatigue)? Artemus are you able to get the tubes tested? Otherwise that's quite the quandary perhaps sending a note to Don Sachs might give you some clarity? | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? I like tube amps and generally don't like high powered tube amps so I look for sensitivity in speakers my current AN-J's are 93db and work well on 3.5 2a3 watts. 😉 | |
| Why did this 1975 amp sound so good? +1 @ogiboy Also Tandberg made some droolworthy cassette decks! BTW there are few used Tandberg receivers over on Audiomart you may want to check out. | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @lalitk +1 that is a very easy sonic upgrade. | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @knock1 That is very strange from the Earmen site I went to reviews and the Hifi News review listed the Staccato as 999 British pounds. Nice performance for a bargain streamer but curious if it doesn't do wifi why does it have an antenna? | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally Congrats on the new streamer knock1 and glad it sounds better it should looks like it's twice the price of the Node. I do have one question what does exclusive ethernet connectivity mean? | |
| Tube tester Page worked fine for me the issue for me with tube testers is always how many tubes types do they test? The Orange with expansion module covers a lot but for me critically not 6DJ8/6922's which my preamp uses.They also don't specify what parameter... | |
| Raven Osprey 3.1 vs Leben cs600 Yes Leben all the way here totally in a different class than Raven. | |
| Leben CS600 required tubes Another vote for KT66 though I've not heard the 350B. I also like the KT77 by Gold Lion not personally a fan of KT-88 or higher. | |
| Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers Volti is a good call but seadweller why don't you just give in and find a pair of Altec 19s? 😉 | |
| A Big Shout out to TAP Electronics Awesome to hear a good repair story congrats Pete! |
