| Can Anybody Give An Example Of? @kb54 - it's as much a Manfred Mann song as 'All Along the Watchtower' is a Jimi Hendrix song - these songs were totally redefined by these artists, becoming big hits, and become something more separate from the original, I think.... | |
| Your tube amp related Harbeth experience. At one point, I was using at BAT VK-60 with my Super HL-5's. Listening to mostly rock, the Harbeths were likely not my best choice to begin with, but they sounded good so I kept them for years; still have them though I'm using other speakers now t... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @nonoise - Loved that gif! That's the only way I listen to music (or watch sports or telly or movies)!!! 🤣🤣🤣 | |
| Are tubes psychological? Glowing tubes have a really nice feeling about them, as long as you don't feel them! Alas, not all tubes glow, but the ones that do look great! | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b Merry Christmas, smodtactical! When I first got my Eddie Current Studio B headphone amp, it was initially suggested to me that JJ makes ones that are good value for the money. They were unavailable anywhere at that time, though, so I went with Go... | |
| flabbergasted with reviews on speakers @jerryg123 - Merry Christmas to you, too!! | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b I'm using the new WE 300B's, and I am very happy with them in the aspects you mentioned.... | |
| burn in - how important? @millercarbon - indeed! When I got my Herron phono amp and line-stage amp, Keith said they'd need 150 hours or so to sound their best. As you say, they sounded just fine out of the box, but Keith was not wrong.... | |
| Current Best Value In A Pair of Quality 300B's? When i got my Eddie Current Studio B amp, I got Gold Lion 300B's for them. I'd been recommended the JJ's, but they were out of stock everywhere at that point. When they came back in, I did get the JJ's for about the same price, and they were an i... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? I recently got the new Georgia-made Western Electrics for my Eddie Current Studio B amp, and they sound awesome - another category altogether from the JJ's I'd been using. Could I find tubes that were as good or even better than the WE's for less ... | |
| flabbergasted with reviews on speakers @arcticdeth - Merry Christmas! So you're saying the reviewers who say they are not being paid are lying, and will recommend crap if they're paid for it? Seems like that would be a great way to lose subscribers and your reputation and not have pros... | |
| How do you explain audiophiles to your friends? I just point them to some YouTube reviews and suggest they check out a few if they want to be amused by some serious geekism... Nothing wrong with geekism, of course, I tend that way myself - I just can't talk about it as well as many of the YouT... | |
| The Boss is the Bo$$ @tgilb - Are you saying one shouldn't criticize anything that one cannot do better? That otherwise we should not have an opinion on it? I wish I could post photos from my computer files; I'd put one up that I took of Bruce and Clarence at a show... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? @twoleftears - I've got both Harbeth Super HL-5's AND Fritz Carrerra BE! I had the Harbeths for years and was perfectly happy with them but wanted to hear what some other sounds would be like. I replaced the Harbeths in my system with the Fritz's,... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @femoore12 - I for one am very happy that science and technology have replaced 'mysticism', and I don't need anybody to tell me what I need or don't need in my life. It would be a boring world if we were all the same! What works for one does not ... |
