| What do you look like? Maybe Audiogon could create a new forum category called "Photos" and have subcategories such as Geeks, Nerds, Jocks, Studs, Dirty Old Men......... | |
| CD Burning: What Route Should I Go? Thanks, guys. I have a G3 Mac and it doesn't have Firewire. Considering the cost involved in putting in Firewire card and getting an external burner, I guess it makes the most sense to just buy another computer, such as the Emac for $799 (though I... | |
| time to discuss kt-88's I have heard claims about how long a tube is supposed to last before. When I had small signal EI tubes (EL84) their construction appeared very cheap and unimpressive. The glass was thin, the pins were flimsy. Overall, they did not inspire confiden... | |
| time to discuss kt-88's I wouldn't want to have tubes that take over 400 hours to burn. Based on an estimated useful life of 1,500 hrs., 1/3 of the tubes' useful life will be gone before it is burned in. | |
| time to discuss kt-88's Tubes taking 400 hrs. to burn in? That is completely ridiculous. Electrons traveling in a vacuum don't "burn in." If you argue that cathode & anode burn in, that is going to happen within a few minutes from new. You're probably just getting us... | |
| Is there a worthy 6922 presently made? Eiiiiiiiiich! The EH 6922 has squashed dynamics? So many opinions......hard to draw any conclusions. I certainly don't doubt that Amperexes, Mullards, etc., sound better than current production stuff. I would guess the problem is that everyone wan... | |
| Is there a worthy 6922 presently made? It is fine to love NOS tubes, but don't have a disrespectful and condescending attitude towards those of us who simply aren't interested in spending gobs of money on supposed NOS tubes. I've been there, done that, know people who have, and there a... | |
| Is there a worthy 6922 presently made? I don't think there is any design difference between the gold pin and regular EH 6922; just the pins. Anyway, that's what New Sensor told me. Glad to hear some of you are liking the EH tube. | |
| Is there a worthy 6922 presently made? Imin2u,Can you give us a sonic description against a particular NOS and a Sovtek? | |
| Calling B&W speaker users with tube power amp Audiodb, I must take issue with Tpsonic's comments on the Rogue. Rogue equipment is hardly "the solid state of the tube world." Perhaps those who like a bloated, over-caramelized, amorphous tube sound would feel that way. The new M150s are wonderf... | |
| Calling B&W speaker users with tube power amp I agree with Tpsonic. From my inquiries, the BAT VK-60 doesn't have enough juice. From my own experience with 802 Matrix, they mate well with an Audio Research VT-100 Mk2, or Rogue monoblocks.In other words, use a push-pull tube amp of 100 w., and... | |
| Review: Rogue Audio 99 Magnum Tube preamp An update: the slight pop heard from the Mute button was eliminated in my more recent production unit by changing to a different spec resistor. This is such a minor issue anyway, and probably a majority of audiophiles would feel the same. | |
| Why all these JC-1's for sale? Although I don't own the JC-1's, I did quite a bit of research on them. Based on that research, I believe these amps are something special. There is near unanimous praise of them. Nearly everyone praises their sonics. Most descriptions of their so... | |
| VT-100 MKII sonics but need more power The VT-200 was reviewed and considered sonically superior to the VT-100 -- more dimensional, more detail, larger sounding. It surprises me that your friend would think the opposite. You can get VT-200 at very attractive prices, i.e. $3,400. | |
| Did Svetlana change hands? I don't think any of this information is totally correct. It is true that the "winged C" logo is placed on the ones sourced from SED. I believe this was the original logo, but I'm not sure.The other logo (hard to describe) in used on the ones sour... |
