| Hopelessly Confused Golly. I’d find the prospect of reading that ultra-long thread daunting. I’m not saying that it doesn’t have value and that you won’t learn from it, but when I started reading it I began to have many questions. Frankly, I found the number of ampli... | |
| Mingus Ah Um by Mofi I have what I think is an important question.The original CBS release of these sessions had reverb added to it via (IIRC) something like the "reverb room" in the basement of the studio. When Mosaic Records did their exhaustive release of the Mingu... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @highstream @hicham Here's what I think Joseph means regarding the "handpicked tubes" - the Supratek sounds incredible with the stock tubes. And Mick has carefully auditioned all the usual suspects to identify high-value, solid-performing, reliabl... | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week I previously owned an InnerSound Electrostatic amplifier and loved it. For those who aren’t familiar with this amp, it is essentially a re-badged CODA from around 1999 - 2000. It was a superb amplifier. The only reason I sold it was that the prote... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Dear @lowrider57 and @shkong78 - might you be able to post pictures of your favorite Melz 1578 tubes and also the name of your trusted ebay sellers? From my research (much of which took place before this shootout thread was started) the desireable... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes I’ve been reading this thread with interest. By chance, a few weeks ago I won a nice pair of NOS CBS 5692 red base tubes at a very good price.They have now replaced my much-enjoyed pair of Ken-Rad VT231. The CBS 5692s do not seem to be as sought a... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi @jaymark Another Don Sachs owner who lives not terribly far from me and I were going to get together to compare our preamps last year. But we were never able to get our schedules lined up. I hope it can happen this year. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @grannyring Hey - did you ever post your impressions/review of the Amber 3 you (IIRC) picked up? If so, I missed it - please point me in the right direction. I'm curious how big the difference is between the Orchid and the Amber 3 (not that I coul... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Good to see the posts above. In particular, the notes about the Melz 1578. Those were impossible to find for a while but now it looks like a batch has shown up from somewhere and there are multiple dealers selling them.Please - those of you who ar... | |
| A23 Cables What's the latest news on the Audio Envy Prestige RCA IC? How does it sound? | |
| Power Conditioners I have installed dedicated circuits in my current house and in another previous home in the Midwest. In each case they made a difference my non -audiophile wife could hear. However, I am now using a lead -acid battery generator and it is much bett... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Rodman-That makes sense and matches my own experience. I brought it up on this thread because it might be a factor in the listening tests of the shootout. | |
| Supratek..Cabernet 6SN7 or Cabernet DHT Yeah. Need to hear an update on this. | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Couple thoughts:1. I *really* think you need to include shuguang WE6SN7 plus and CV181-TII in the group you audition. However, these will require some period of break-in. So that might slow down your testing and comparisons. Many folks who have r... | |
| Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less I've been running an MHDT Orchid for about six months now. My only modification is that I'm using a 6DJ8 in place of the 5670/We296 family. I have a western electric, a teal and a GE 5 star and the Amperex 6DJ8 is better. It does require an adap... |
