Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs Islandflyfisher,My Micros are 9 ft apart and I sit about 8 ft away. The sweet spot is about 2-3 ft across, but it might be wider if I didn't toe in my speakers as much. I toe them in so that they're pointing almost right at me to help minimize sid... | |
Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs I own the original Micro Utopias and I have to say that they're the best sounding speakers I've ever owned. Without a sub there's plenty of bass, pinpoint imaging, incredible transparency, easy to drive, all in an intensely musical package. Couple... | |
Special birthday audio gift to yourself? Happy B-day, enjoy those tubes! | |
Has everyone heard the Waif's? They're apparently taking 7 months off from touring, according to their website both sisters, two thirds of the band, are taking maternity leave. They typically tour constantly though and quite a bit in the States so keep an eye out. And thanks to... | |
Has everyone heard the Waif's? Smp,Thanks for joining in! It's too bad that it's so hard to get folks to participate in a music thread here. I mean if this thread was about "equipment brand x" there'd be at least a half dozen posts already. Sad but true. | |
300B tube recommendation for SET amp? Try Valve Art Titanium Meshplates for a great value! | |
woodside dac available Why not just post an ad? | |
I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. You've got to be single, with a room and collection of gear like that! | |
Nagra Service? Why not check with the former importer Audiophile Systems and see if they have a trained tech? You can find them right on here, I noticed them selling off a few Nagra demo pieces today, just shoot them an email, it can't hurt. Good luck! | |
Looking for a crystal clear / dynamic tube preamp Greenman,The Herron VTSP1A does not have remote control. The new Herron VTSP2 does. The 2 just got a rave review from HP 2 issues ago in TAS. I've never heard it but I'm sure it's as good or better than the VTSP1. | |
Looking for a crystal clear / dynamic tube preamp I second the Herron VTSP1A/166. I use one myself and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's neutral, dynamic, transparent, and musical. Also it's dead, dead quiet, a rarity for a tubed preamp. | |
Help Problem with Cary 303/300 The player has both tubed and ss outputs, is the problem occurring in both? It could be a bad tube if you're using just the tubed output, to isolate it try swapping the tubes between the channels and see if the problem moves with tht tube. If it's... | |
Favorite Tube Speaker Match Bbro and ChrisKeating,Even Vu was taken aback at how good his system sounded when he fired it up that day. He was testing it out for last years RMAF show and he threw a Mel Torme disc in an Esoteric DV50 player and it was like he was standing righ... | |
What would you do? I also have to say that negative feedback doesn't really seem warranted. By accepting the unit back you are basically saying that you believe his claim of skipping. If the unit was returned to you in the condition that you sent it out and you were... | |
Favorite Tube Speaker Match I love my current setup of a Graaf GM5050, a pushpull stereo 50 watter using 6550's, driving a pair of original JMlabs Micro-Utopias. The best I've ever heard was at Deja Vu Audio listening to a setup of their custom tubed preamp and amp driving t... |
