| “Insides” of tubes I’m moving to Estonia, once I figure out where it is. Bye........... | |
| How to insert album cover art on music files? Glad to hear. | |
| Has Radicalizing the Rig Led to Revolutionized Listening? I just turned 60 a bit back. My goal was to be able to explore and enjoy all kinds of music. I spend as much time as I can doing it. More than ever. Thank you hifi! | |
| “Insides” of tubes They are made in Russia. Don’t expect too much when it comes to quality control. Or maybe different production runs. If they measure strong to spec that is all I would expect. They wouldn’t dare sell US disjointed tubes on purpose would they? No r... | |
| Tubes? People is what they is for the most part, not likely to change. "Never Wrestle with a Pig. You Both Get Dirty and the Pig Likes It" | |
| 1000.00 speakers Is Omega still operating? Their website indicated all sold out and the email contact provided did not work. | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Hmm, well semantics aside, I find it sounds better and not great but good enough to be enjoyable on my good system with room for the "ambience" to breath than on headphones (Chord Mojo to Sony MDR-1AM2).So I don’t agree with the assertion it sound... | |

| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Agree with gosta. | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 I did some fine tuning at home with my gear after that visit. Think I have things pretty close for a lot less but hard to say without an a/b comparison. I don’t think a setup need be nearly as elaborate to get much of the reward. But it always hel... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 No unfortunately. But they were pretty big and looked pretty expensive. It was the alpha setup in the store by a fair margin. Deja Vu does a lot of unique things with tube amps. May not even be a current model or perhaps even customized. You would... | |
| Game Changing Tweak That made me laugh. Surely some cat turds sound better than others...... | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Do you choose music based on how many Grammy or MTV awards it’s gotten? No. Yes obviously better sounding recordings would be better but it is what it is and there is no shortage of recordings I enjoy both old and new. I like music, warts and all.... |
