| 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... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Regarding the question of the shoot-out - sorry, I hadn't noticed the question until this evening. Everything has been all shut down to hell, hasn't it, with this Covid stuff. Including the shootout. I'll follow up with the fellow who has the Sach... | |
| Jelco tonearms closes I'm not trying to pick a fight, or argue, but regarding the comment that Jelco arms "were never anything special"... Hmmm. That strikes me as a little bit overly simplistic. Perhaps I’m simply being overly sensitive, since I am getting ready to in... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @mglik Question for you, since I'm intrigued by your comments.How efficient are your speakers? I have a pair of ~94 dB efficient speakers (in addition to Quad 2805s). It seems that 94dB is not quite in the happy zone for low powered SET amplifiers... | |
| RIP Art Dudley Gulp. Pause. What? OMG, WHAT????Yeah, this is a shock. He was a writer that really created a bond with the reader. And I think that probably many of us who miss him already and are so saddened to hear of his passing, feel like, even though we ne... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread What fuse did you choose? And how did it impact the sound?Frankly, I have trouble imagining that a change in a fuse will improve the sound, but there are many posts on this site in which it is so. I am not trying to be argumentative, just tryin... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Too many days spent here in isolation. I gotta say "I LOVE YOU GUYS!" and our differences of opinion don’t mean anything to me at all.Here’s what I think. I think if we went over to one-another’s houses and listened to some music, IT WOULD SOUND K... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Allow me to disagree with those who recommend a solid state preamp. I think I’ve already suggested this , if not in this thread then and many many others . Read the Roger Sanders white paper on Solid State vs. Tubes. His website is Sanders sound s... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp Maybe ask Don Sachs if he's tried them? |
