| Is there such a thing as tube sound in a ss? There is no such thing as "SS" or "Tube" sound. It is simply the character of an amplifier. You get "warm & fuzzy" SS amps and "Bright" tube amps as well. Some terms are misleading. Your description is also a bit odd. You say you get "undefine... | |
| B&W 805s vs PSB Synchrony Two Well, it is a simple matter. If you get enough current drive behind those 805 speakers then their bass response will open up and surprise you. Try borrowing a high power amp from somebody for a little sneak preview. | |
| B&W 805s vs PSB Synchrony Two You should hear how a simple set of B&W DM602 speakers open up with 800 watts per side. It is mind blowing! I have heard the above "test" with a set of Valve Audio Black Widow Mono amplifiers rated at 800 watts. | |
| B&W 805s vs PSB Synchrony Two Look at an amp with the capability of at least 200 watts or more per side. | |
| B&W 805s vs PSB Synchrony Two Mmmm... I would suggest you get a amp that push more current so that you can get more from your 805 speakers. | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Good audio products are produced on a small scale. Small scale production is unfortunately quite a few times more expensive than mass produced items. I there were a factory in China churning out Triplanar arms, 1000x an hour then that arm would ha... | |
| Loricraft and power cord upgrade? You want to tell me that you have not yet tried a high-end power cord on your kettle? No?! I use a $5000 Kimber cable on my Kenwood and the tea just tastes out of this world. Airy with a firmer lows and more focussed highs. You should try it. | |
| GEM Dandy Record Cleaner - Has Anyone Tried It ? Looks like the device can be DIY-ed... $150 for plumbing parts? I dont know...!! ?? | |
| EAR 834P faceplate replacement? Thank you guys. Yeah... a faceplate is not voltage sensitive now is it? He-he! | |
| Transformer-coupled tube phono pres I am not sure I understand your question... I use a EAR 834P tube phono pre with stepup transformers... nice! | |
| Despise conventional dome tweeters Well okay, I guess I was a bit brash... This is where I come from. My high-end journey started out with QUAD 57 ESL speakers (no-brainer!) but I had to let them go as they too up too much space. Roxy, I should have included the next few lines: Ple... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Anybody aware of the SAEC SBX-7 plinth for the SP-10 mkII? http://yasshin.hp.infoseek.co.jp/saecsbx7.htmAtmasphere, you've got a point though. Lead is not optimal - its got high mass but is 'unstable'. I would rather go for a fiber-loaded (incl ag... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Jloveys,Making a single plinth from lead surely is not a catastrophe. The designer of such a plinth should also think of ways to seal the lead to prevent oxidization and lead poisoning. You only have to start worry about lead contamination when so... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Guys!I have to be honest and say that a tube-based power supply for a turntable such as a SP-10 mkII or III will not be worth the effort at all. The incoming DC power from the PSU is regulated and modulated in a complex manner that will void any "... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III LewmI am using the NOS machine for nearly 4 months now with no problem. It is indeed NOS. I was the first to remove the plastic baggies around all the parts taped shut with that anti-tamper green sticky tape. It was like pure sin. I realise that t... |
