| 6L6 or variant Eldartford, perhaps you would be interested in these: http://cgi.ebay.com/RCA-MI-12180-6V6-Tube-Theatre-Amplifier-Amps-20W-Pair_W0QQitemZ370033495803QQihZ024QQcategoryZ50593QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem | |
| 6L6 or variant Well actually Dared has a 6V6 based amp. I have never listened to it or read any reviews, so I have no idea of it's quality. Seems though 6V6 tubes are not so available. 5881-6L6 etc are quite abundant still in NOS. And if one switched from integr... | |
| what can I get by with? I should rephrase the statement about China. I was referring to some of the " fly by night " outfits that are using low quality parts. I speak from experience as I once lived in China. But for what it's worth, I am prone to be " not politically co... | |
| what can I get by with? Dang! My internet conncetion has been going up and down lately. Too bad I'm still not employed at my local cable company, I would have it running as smooth as a SET amp :) Well anyway-I'm not going to look for different speakers for a bit. But whe... | |
| what can I get by with? Well it appears I was wrong on the spec. The Kestrel ( mine are hotrod ) is 89db. Most of what I am able to find about the reviews of SET ask for at least 90db. So maybe I can get lucky if I can find a SET with at least 20 watts? I remember I once... | |
| Am I going crazy or? Route9,Actually the tubes were Telefunken 6922 at the time the market price was between $125-$150. He wanted $429 for his. Even now the average is $250. So your baseball card theory doesn't apply here.Nice try though..... | |
| Am I going crazy or? Mrtennis,If this issue is of " no concern to you " then why do you keep posting in the thread? not that I mind if you post or not of course.i do have an intrest at what people are selling at becuase i may be interested in buying the piece. people ... | |
| Am I going crazy or? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm,Now I know I am going crazy! I just had a thought- If perhaps someone thinks this thread is nonsense. Then if they post in this thread, are they participating in the nonsense? Well, just a thought.Anyway I made my point. Some folks s... | |
| Am I going crazy or? -YMMV" Most of the stuff I read on this entire website is pure nonsense "ditto! but then really what are people doing here anyway? Some have legitment questions aobut gear they want to buy, others are just passing time. The sad part is that most p... | |
| Am I going crazy or? I guess what makes me crazy are the guy selling the usual stuff that I see here all the time. Except he wants 15% less than new, when everyone else is selling for 50% off. I remember seeing a common power cord listed one time for 5% off of a new c... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 vs Odyssey Stratus vs Marsh 400 Sempaul,If you want your Proacs to completely disappear. ( which I don't think is possible ) then I would shift over to tubes. I have never heard proacs sound as good as when I have listened to them on a tube setup. However if your are bent on you... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 vs Odyssey Stratus vs Marsh 400 From memory I think the McCormack was a bit sweeter than the Aragon. I think the McCormack had a bit more bass as well. But it has been a few years. Haven't heard Odyssey but I think they are completely different from the 2 fore mentioned amps. If... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete Well, looks like that is the end of it. If I happen along any other news I will post it ( assuming I can find the thread )cheers! | |
| good old tuners going obsolete Qdrone,Even if there is a digital to analog converter made for your analog tuner. Then your tuner will no longer be analog? And how would this device be hooked up to your tuner? Since your tuner is in fact a source, and it relies on a analog signa... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete Back to the subject ( and I speak unofficially ) From a Conversation I had with a reliable source. The government actually wanted no more analog stations at the end or 06. However there were no laws in place and even attempting to pass laws was di... |
