| Hi Fi burnout. I say good for him! It's important for all of us to step back occasionally and realize that music is the reason we listen, not to hear the results of our latest upgrade. Something else I think that's helpful as well are limits. What I mean is, I a... | |
| which 300b tube sounds the best? S23chang,I have only compared the 98-C to the regular Valve Art 300B, it was a huge improvement smoother with more detail, and the Western Electric, pretty much even, I would say the 98-C had a bit more resolution and the WE more body and warmth. ... | |
| which 300b tube sounds the best? I have also had good luck with the fairly new Valve Art Titanium Meshplate tubes, a great deal at $165/pr. Particularly good if your amp uses a lot of tubes because the price is so good. | |
| Thor Audio - Answers to recent FAQs I also would like to thank both Paul and P.J. for posting their comments aimed at aiding the Audiogon buyer sort through the various iterations of their products on the used market. It is rare and laudable to see a manufacturer meet consumers of t... | |
| Supratek vs. Thor? Cello,I've changed out all the tubes in my Syrah, I'm using NOS Sylvania 6sn7's, RCA black metal 6l6's, Mullard 6gk5's, Raytheon 5842's and a Phillips Miniwatt GZ34. The sound is much improved over stock though I've been advised to replace the 6l6... | |
| Supratek vs. Thor? Thanks for all the responses. I think the Thor is pretty cool looking and not plane jane. I know it's a line stage, I was thinking about getting it and then later picking up a great standalone phono stage. So I'll spend the Thanksgiving holiday po... | |

| should i do tube? Tomyran is dead on and in fact describes my journey almost to a tee. I was in a similar situation, using a Bryston B-60 integrated, tried using it as a preamp with a c-j Premiere 11A, got a tubed preamp, went to an Air Tight ATM-1 PP amp, and then... | |
| Review: deHavilland Electric Amp UltraVerve JR Tube preamp Hi Samac,You're right, the Syrah looks as good as it sounds. As far as my speakers go, I've been so happy with them that the thought of upgrading hasn't really entered my mind. I really think that to better the peformance of my speakers I would ha... | |
| Review: deHavilland Electric Amp UltraVerve JR Tube preamp Samac,Congratulations on your newfound happiness with your system! I went down a similar path, though with less anxiety, going from ss, to pushpull tubes, to SET amps. I also just recently went from a series of 12 ax7 based preamps to an octal tub... | |
