| Tube Preamp The Parasound Halo A21 is a balanced design. If you wish to take advantage of this, start looking for a used balanced/SE preamp. This choice also depends on what your source components are. If everything is single-ended, $1500 can get you a nice S... | |
| Article from Cnet Good to hear there is interest in HiFi as part of the young entrepreneur movement. But the brilliant Dan Wright? Age 48, and has been in business since 2000. Maybe cnet just discovered him. | |
| Vibration Control @hifiman5 , sorry, I was addressing the OP. I can see why you responded since we are in agreement on how footers can affect the overall sonics of a system.@rainteaut... pricing of the Zanden Vibration Absorption? | |
| Vibration Control What is the price and where did you purchase?I use Herbies, myrtle wood blocks, and DH Cones depending on the component and situation. | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with Thanks. I tried it and it doesn't work as well as the old search function.I get a mix of all cables and other related items. Previously, it would filter out everything except speaker cables. | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like one of the search options is gone. It is no longer possible to search for the exact model and type of component.For example, on the home page I select Speaker Cables; next, multiple pages of speaker c... | |
| Tung-Sol EL-34B vs Genalex Gold Lion KT77 for Cayin A100T Integrated Tube Amplifier I agree. The 12AU7’s would be the preamp tubes. The 6CG7’s are typically used as phase inverters. | |
| Tung-Sol EL-34B vs Genalex Gold Lion KT77 for Cayin A100T Integrated Tube Amplifier Some good info regarding the sonic signature of preamp tubes (12AU7)...http://www.audiotubes.com/12au7.htmhttps://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/d.pl?audio/faq/joes-tubes.html#12AU7 | |
| Tung-Sol EL-34B vs Genalex Gold Lion KT77 for Cayin A100T Integrated Tube Amplifier If the two 12au7’s are the preamp tubes, then rolling them will provide the greatest change in sonics.I suspect the other small signal tubes are the inputs for the amp section. The 12AX7 would be the gain tube and would also have a major influence... | |
| Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp 12au7 NOS Tung Sols are are terrific tubes. I'm using a pair in my amp.Let us know how they work out. | |
| Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp With all the NOS tubes available, why choose Tungsram? Were they recommended? You first need to decide what change is needed in your system and the sonics you desire. Andy can definitely help with this.And here’s a tip... Andy at Vintage Tube will... | |
| Tung-Sol EL-34B vs Genalex Gold Lion KT77 for Cayin A100T Integrated Tube Amplifier I've never tried the Cryoset, but that's a good price; better than the big name dealer who sells the KT-77s. I've read the benefits, but always wondered if a cryo'd tube will truly last as long since it affects the structure of delicate filament... | |
| Tung-Sol EL-34B vs Genalex Gold Lion KT77 for Cayin A100T Integrated Tube Amplifier I have tried EL34 Mullards, EL34 Electro Harmonix and EL34B Tung Sol. The Mullards have good bass but sounded dull in my system and lacked some detail.I've tried them as well. The Mullards will work with front-end components that are revealing. ... | |
| Non-audiophile needs help with older system. I don't think you should be using any tone controls or extra components until you know what your system truly sounds like. As atmasphere stated, play with speaker position and toe-in angle. Don't go by what the book says, this is a system of unkn... | |
| Photos in Forums That would be nice. Just a guess, but maybe they dont have the necessary platform to support the extra memory of pics.Other small independent forums have to purge the site periodically. |
