| Question on NOS tubes bias doubt I don't understand your question but that's a real nice sounding tube. | |
| ipod classic vs nano counting backwards nailed it...wait a month...new models will be coming out.Larry | |
| Anyone compared Droplet to the Raysonic CD168? I owned a Droplet and now own a 168, about 5 months....my droplet (owned 3 years) died from an electrical surge. I have a pending claim against the power company.None of my other equipment died and that makes me wonder if this is a "fragile" desig... | |
| Droplet CD Player - changing the tubes? this is a two man operation...one hold the top plate while the other disconnects the wire harnesses...the tubes are springloaded and easy to access and replace once the heavy top is off.LarryK | |
| Best iPods for AUDIOphiles Wait until September since this is when Apple always upgrades the Ipod lineup....usually lower costs, more memory or other changes...they may be going to a a touch screen like the Itouch model.Larry K | |
| When using a DAC does the cd player really matter? IMHO the DAC is much of the sound presentation and much more important that the transport | |
| PS Audio Quintet it does a fine job and is priced fairly...I used a Duet until I upgraded to a regenerator to keep the voltage locked in at 120V...my tubes no longer drift or seem to need biasing.Larry | |
| Why do my transformers hum sometimes? same problem as you and you learn to live with it...once I installed a regenerator to keep the voltage locked in at 120V this seemed to help greatly.Larry | |
| concert vault---any impressions? Wolgang's is a well known website. A high school classmate of mine is the owner...he had the fore sight to buy up all the vintage items impresario Bill Graham had accumulated and this has made him wealthy. Wish he had asked me to invest.Larry | |

| Is this tube sound???? your speakers are a difficult match for a tube amp and the hybrid you have is not really representative of what tube magic is all about. the way to go is pick your speakers ( 90db minimum, 8 ohm nominal) and then match up to an amp you like. The T... | |
| Have you noticed that... too bad you're into equipment and not music listening...that's the real joy of this hobby.Larry | |
| Does Raysonic CD128 need to be on top shelf? have my 168 on the top of a three shelf rack..just perfect turntable height and playing a CD reminds me of when I used to spin vinyl.Larry | |
| Question on speaker sensitivity / power. very general rule of thumb...under 90db go ss and over go tubes but you must also consider speakers impedance....under 8 ohms go ss and 8 ohms nominal or higher is tube land....don't get hung up on mfg. power rating for speakers....it's almost mea... |
