| Has LED caught up to Plasma? Tube vs?Many people love sound of tubes. Well, I love the picture. | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Peterayer,I see it totally different way. US distributors for Sonus Faber are probably substantially more greedy than ones from other countries so that it makes more sense to purchase from overseas+ expensive shipping! INSANE.I've seen on ebay lot... | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? amplifier(integrated or separates) in synergy with speaker considering that the placement is correct.don't worry about tubes or solid states in the chain at all. | |
| Has LED caught up to Plasma? For me the other way arround: Having seen the huge projection ones with 50+ inch diagonal was literally a joke compared to clean 30...34" CRT.Was not impressed by 60" plazmas as well. Way to far from being crystal clear and natural colors are lite... | |
| Solid state warm up? Highend4me,Tubes need only 5...10min to get all DC voltages steady while transistors need at least 25min to reach operating specified parameters. In fact tubes are not sensitive to temperature at all while transistors are. That's why they need rad... | |
| Piano and Trumpet can sound bright Stage musicians as a matter of fact usually won't use instruments that can be irritating or harsh. Obviously with Miles Davis it's not the case.The speakers mentioned 1. are not tube friendly in general2. very sensitive to the amplifier choice (I'... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Pkelly1504,The speakers you're listing have so different characteristics, that I'm not sure what you really aim for upgrade or listening needs in general.I would subtract B&W mentioned since they will not sound right with your amp.Due to your ... | |
| Has LED caught up to Plasma? CRT is better than allof'em.Had 2007 model of Panasonic Viera 42" plazma. Nice picture although not too many adjustment options. Consumes 4...5x more energy than CRT! Recently the digital board blew off. Part itself worth more than remaining value... | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig _real_audio, LOL!kidz probably a complete tabu darn. | |
| Solid state warm up? It's not the blame that the amp can't drive speakers. Certainly it can, but it's a fact that there are amps that can drive these speakers better than VK250SE and the llist is HUGE even if taken the same budget point. | |
| VTL Compact 80 Issue You've damaged 1k resistor that you actually read the bias voltage from and tube as well.You can order this or a few resistors from OM.Check if there's no visual damage (leaks, blown like baloon) to electrolytics for offset supply of that tube. Bi... | |
| A personal challenge only mary-joanna for me on weekends or holidays.getting tough to consume alcohole for me, but a little drag of green tea or few weed-butter cookies would make my holiday or weekend happy. | |
| Solid state warm up? Daverz,leaving the amp on or off 24/7 is absolutely irrelevant to this issue. you can trust BAT specs but only for very short duration and for quiet music such as small jazz band, chamber(where OP describes sweetness of sound). in all other cases ... | |
| Micro Seiki DDX1000 problems Peterr53, where you're located? | |
| Micro Seiki DDX1000 problems suxcould also be a voltage regulator that apparently would have electrolytic caps |
