| Solid state amp vs tube amps I prefer tube amplifiers over solid state. Tube amps usually have a better soundstage and more air and dimensionality over solid state. Tube sound more real and more engaging. Solid state amps sound more accurate and better precise. I own a few s... | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem Pani, I powerful single ended tube amp design could work out fine but you will need to find the one that gives you the sound you’re looking for. Some can be very musical and full sounding while others can be very neutral. Me and my friend both ow... | |
| New Falcon ls3/5a Silvers in the house Hello there, I’ve owned LS3/5a speakers for over 30yrs. I’m listening to my pair now playing Vinyl via a Thorens 124 table. I have a 100lb single end tube amp on them 45 watts per channel, the vacuum tube power is combined between 300b and the 80... | |
| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? That is why Rogue doesn’t sell well on the resell market. | |
| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? I’ve owned Rogue Audio throughout the years and their equipment is just barely hifi in quality. Sold it and would probably not buy Rogue again because there are much better products for the same or less cost. | |
| Another cable question Hello, I usually get these notifications via email so I’m behind on responses. I have used a lot of cables throughout my 30yrs of audio. I highly recommend you try silver cables in your system. Just because the cables are pure silver, you shouldn’... | |
| Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED) An amplifier that runs in pure class A operation does exist regardless of what some may say. There are some amps that switch to A/B when pushed in volume but there were amps designed to run class A always. A killer and very inexpensive class A am... | |
| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS Hello Sam, I became curious also with listening to other products and designs. My first hifi amplifier was a Class A solid state design which was extremely good. But reading hifi magazines got interested in tube amplifiers, I wanted to try one. Si... | |
| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS Hello Sam, I’ve been in hifi audio for over 30 yrs and have heard so much nonsense from people, I sometimes can’t believe what people write. Some important things I’ve discovered throughout the yrs. Your question about changing from a tube amp to... | |
| Which LS3/5a? No problem. Ive been into hifi audio for around 30yrs and I still remember that one of the best sounds I ever heard was from a pair of Rogers driven by the Cary 805 mono tube amps. I’ve heard a lot of systems and still love the midrange from the... | |
| Which LS3/5a? BTW, only the 15ohm versions were the best sounding and only 15ohm used the Rifa capacitors. There was only a few years in production where Rogers, Chartwell, Goodman, Audio Master, Ram used the Rifa caps. Rogers used them in the late 1970’s. Ro... | |
| Which LS3/5a? Hello, I have collected LS3/5a speakers for the last 30 yrs. I have owned numerous pairs and still have a few. Currently, I have a pair of Rogers setup on a tube amplifier with 805 power tubes 45 watts per channel. I have a friend who is very se... | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? Sorry to say but the question you post is ridiculous. They will not be a speaker that disappears for every recording. The question is like asking is there a speaker that will have bass for every recording. There are some speakers that are excel... | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? Hello, I have many years of experience in hifi audio. There are some amplifiers I can easily recommend but a more important point to make is about quality. I’ve never had good success matching tube amps with Magnepan speakers. And also had to g... | |
| Power cord choice? Rsjm80, the problem when you ask a question like yours is that people start recommending power cords and don’t really consider or realize the issue. I myself can not recommend any power cord to you unless I personally hear the cord your presently... |
