| CABLES for Tubes? I personally have found tubes to work well without cables. | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma Thanks guys. Press is cheap but you're worth a million. Kharma. | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? I am intrigued as to why truth and accuracy are so important to some in a medium as emotional as music. Where do you draw the line? Is the written score an "accurate" representation of the composer's thoughts? Is the performance an "accurate" repr... | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 Many thanks to all on this thread and especially to Trelja who REALLY knows his tubes. This is what all the threads should be like. Mark me down as another happy KT88 owner. Anyone for driver tubes? | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 I've learned a great deal from this thread and I have been having a great time tube rolling. My Audio Valve Challenger amps actually allow me to use ANY combination of 6550, KT88, KT90, or EL34 tubes so I have been mixing and matching to fine tune... | |
| Amps for Avalon Radian HCs Regarding the new Jadis amps: I have had the opportunity to audition the JA-100 with KT-90 output tubes in balanced configuration with Vandersteen 5s and Wilson W/P 6s. I found their sound to be ideal to my ear. Best balance of body, tone, depth a... | |
| Do I really need to Bi-Wire? I have found the improvements from biwiring to be substantial, even over an internally biwired configuration(ie + & - from amp going to 2 sets + & - to speaker). I am told that even with an amp with a good damping factor there is enough el... | |
| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? I second the ARC SP-10 mk2 and would like to add the Jadis JP-80mc. | |
| What is your reference? My 1992 Steinway M recalibrates my ears daily. | |
| AudioPhysic Virgo in a large room? I have not heard the Meadowlark Heron but I have owned the Virgos and used them in large rooms. 18x25 should be no problem. I found that larger rooms actually "loaded" the side-firing woofers of the Virgo much better than small rooms producing a m... | |
| Why Is Krell Not Considered Hifi? Clearly, Doctor Morbius was tone deaf. | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Where is Joecoherent when you really need him? | |
| Give the Oracle an 'arm... Doug, I like your set-up very much. After much experience and heartache I can attest the Oracle's superiority save the Walker, Forsell and Rockport. Unless you have an extra $50k to invest, buy the Oracle's Turbo power supply. It produces an uncom... | |
| Best system for ROMANCE Cindy, if you know high end audio well enough to discriminate among the systems suggested, you clearly are not "new at this". Somehow I don't think we have to worry about you're being at the mercy of a high end dealer on either coast. I wish you h... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music If you like classical guitar try Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez or the Fantasia para un gentilhombre. |
