| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget PureAudioProject open baffle speakers are an interesting recommendation made above. The smaller models, like the Trio 15 with something like the horn midrange/tweeter module might work. I have not heard these speakers in as small a room ss you h... | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget I also forgot to say that the Spendor 3/1 recommendation above is a good one too. | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget Do you have any placement limitation; such as, the speakers need to be near a room corner or a wall, etc.? Does the speaker have to be small in size? More detail is helpful. There are some fairly large speakers that work extremely well in small... | |

| Cary SLP98L upgrades--yea or nay? Easily reversible upgrades, such as trying different tubes would be the best way to start your upgrade path. If ANY upgrade changes the sound, which it should, that change can be for the better or worse, depending on your system and your taste. ... | |
| Cary SLP98L upgrades--yea or nay? I like the SL98. It has been a while since I heard it, but, I like its rich and warm sound. I have no idea what the upgrade will bring to the unit. A local dealer who builds his own tube gear, mostly quite expensive units, truly HATES the sound... | |

| Why tube rectification? Well, I wonder if you would like the "unconventional rectifier" in the power supply of my phono stage. It runs twin 300B tubes as rectifiers. | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State Is the EMIA specifically wound for your Etsuro Bordeaux cartridge? I believe that is one of the reasons to buy their SUT. I've heard systems with their SUT transformer, but, I have no way to assess the particular contribution of the SUT (the ove... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit With tube gear, a lot of premature failure of tubes can be traced to too high voltage coming out of the outlet. When customers complain of excessive tube failure, the local shop has the person measure the voltage. He then recommends transformers... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit I have been running tube gear for more than twenty years and never had a single tube go bad. The tubes in my current linestage were of unknown age and usage before they went into my unit which I have owned for more than 15 years. The amp I’ve ha... | |
| 30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers? I don’t know about your specific speakers. There are some where the rubber surrounds on woofers go bad over time and crumble, but, others do not suffer this fate. I recently listened to a terrific system using 75 year old drivers. If you had a ... |
