| Help wanted re tube Thanks for the info. As I didn't have a 12at7 available I stuck in a Miniwatt 12ax7 I had laying around. It seems to work perfectly, has solved the imbalance problem and seems louder, though that probably is because of replacing 10 year old tubes ... | |
| Best audio tweak ever, especially for the over 60s Forget Q tips and other DIY methods get it sucked out by a doctor. I know the cost sucks (attempt at humour) but well worth it. | |
| martin logan speakers I have a pair of ML Vantage speakers and yes I did have them modified for biamping to get deeper bass but the panels are powered by a Rogue 90 tube amp with a tube pre and the sound is fine, in fact better than fine. | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? Viridian if you don't hear a soundstage in the concert hall you are either not sitting centre stage or you need a hearing check.. | |
| Bookshelf to replace Martin Logan Source If you ditch the MLs I believe you will eventually regret it. | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? It's not natural for an audiophile to be wholly satisfied with his or her system. There's always something to improve. | |
| Why all or most audiophiles are men? Where is Elizabeth's response? | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Mpingo discs | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... I had my Martin Logan Vantage speakers modified for biamping mainly to bypass the in unit power amplification for the bass units which while Ok ,could IMO be improved. I use a 90wpc @ 8ohms Rogue 90 tube amp to drive the electrostatic panels and a... | |
| Considering switching to Tubes You might like to try Y S Audio. They have tube integrated amps starting at HK$13900. I have had a Y S Audio preamp for 10 years and it has been very good and very reliable. To get the very best sound you might need to change the 12AX7 and 12AU7 t... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? When I started this thread I mentioned that neither myself or the audio shop salesman could tell the difference between my fake Cardas Clear Light and the real thing. Geoff Kait seems to think that is not possible but I wonder how many Chinese cab... | |
| What does Roon do? I have read what is on Google and the Roon website as suggested and it appears to me, as my equipment is certainly not Roon ready, I would have to replace a considerable portion of my system to use Roon. Not going to happen and I guess I'll stick ... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? Re geoffKait. Most golf clubs these days, including all the big names are manufactured in China and only assembled in the USA. Are you guys in the USA only good assemblers? I think this whole argument is going round in circles as the Chinese mob I... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? re rlb61 post. Neither you nor I know if the cables in China are assembled by child labour but almost certainly they used cheap labour, at least cheaper than the USA. But on the morality issue are you really sure your sneakers, shirts, pants etc e... | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? I bought an Audio Experience Symphonies from Y S Audio in Hong Kong about 9 years ago for around $300 and had some mods done here in Australia for another $250. The mods consisted mainly of replacing the caps with Blackgates ( no longer available)... |
