| John Lennon Perhaps any negative comments I have concerning John Lenin are best reserved for another time. I respect how many of you have deep feelings for the man. Any comments I have made are not in reference to John Lenin. I know very little about him pers... | |
| CABLES for Tubes? If you like silver the Homegrowns are very very difficult to beat for the value they represent. | |
| John Lennon I know that it may be inappropriate to slam the guy on the 20th anniversary of his death but I really have to differ with some of you. He was just a man. Why do we have to raise every icon to the level of a demi-god status. Was he talented? Sure..... | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? Check out the following link for an informed perspective. http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/13538.html Also, just becuase a power cord doesn't make a difference on one system, it could under a different set of circumstances. Please ... | |
| The best Neutral Power cord ? There is a DIY Bob Crump power cord for sale at the Audio Asylum Auction. Looks like the current bid is .05 so that should be in your budget :) | |
| The best Neutral Power cord ? Sorry, gave you the wrong part number to search for. You need to do the search for "19364" which is a Belden part number for their 14 ga shielded power cable. | |
| The best Neutral Power cord ? Check out the Audio Asylum. Go to cables and do a search for "89259" and you will come up with oddles of info on a cheap DIY cable that is very neutral. The design is by Bob Crump of TG Audio and you can not beat the price. | |
| affordable tube preamp-AE-3 vs. Pre1L? Clearsound: Got the oil caps. I'm going to tinker with improving the diodes on the power supply and put a shunt resistor on the volume potentiometer. Also will eventually get around to getting different tubes to play with but I'm just enjoying it ... | |
| affordable tube preamp-AE-3 vs. Pre1L? I just went through the same decision as you. I bought the AE-3 from Kevin at Upscale Audio. You might want to give him a call since he sells both and can probably give you the pros and cons. He also is one of the most respected "Tube Heads" aroun... | |
| Tube Pre-amp beneficial? I bought a AES AE-3 tube pre-amp for the very same reason. It made a huge impact in my system and brand new is in your price range. I really think it has been my best purchase to date. Tube rolling is very easy since it only has two tubes and you ... | |
| b&k or Bryston or McCormack? Mspencerod: Sorry, I should have looked at your speakers more carefully. I just checked the Martin Logan web site and your speakers might be a difficult load. (4 ohms, 1.2 ohms at 20kHz) You might want to look for a amp that doubles down (ie. doub... | |
| b&k or Bryston or McCormack? I've owned the B&K 4420. It was very nice but I bought a pair of Hales Rev 3s that are a difficult load. Mr. Hales (speaker designer) suggested the Aragon 4004 or 8008 for their effortless ability to drive difficult loads. I havn't listened to... | |
| Getting into tubes? I just bought a AE-3 pre-amp from them. I am really pleased with it. I havn't listened to any of their amps but I would jump at the opportunity. My Hales can be a difficult load and my SS Aragon amp has no problem driving them but sometimes I long... | |
| Preamp for rogue 88 I just bought a AES AE-3 pre-built from the factory. I am stunned with the improvement in my system. I havn't had a lot of tube pre-amps in my system so take my advice with a grain of salt (this goes for most advice you get in these forums) but I ... | |
| Any good bi-wire speaker cable (used).. No problem, sorry about the plug Agon!! I'll watch my step. |
