| Tubelike SS Power amp No You must accept this miserable truth. The sound of the music when initially played to make a recording, is not the sound that you hear when played back. It is impossible for your speakers to move air in the extremely complex way the combined su... | |
| Pre of three? The sound of an Octal in thie case of the CARY use of 6SN7 and SL7s produce the fabled big tone type sound. I think its great but the joke about rolling tubes is in fact not a joke.Those octal tubes are plentiful on the old tube market and remain ... | |
| What Color is your system I spent nearly the entire question I posed explaing that I am convinced that recording music and your chosen playback system changes the initial sound at the time it was produced. In almost any description of audio -that is the recording or the ge... | |
| Tubelike SS Power amp If you really like the way tube amps sound and have speakers that are a mismatch for tubes, and I agree they are. Re think what you really want. Tubes are not represented by tube pres dacs CDPs to a meaningful extent. The only thing that gives you... | |

Extreme distortion was the mission for this albumn and so you simply failed to do your homework. Evidently you don't have the insert that reminds ... | |
| Jadis with Telefunken 12AX7/ECC83 tubes The magical part of Telefunkens is that they speak clearly and ennuciate. The tube halographic layered imaging is not all that Telefunken like, not at all. They are very neutral to cool and do the job with precision which may be in fact all you ex... | |
| Tele CCa Vs, Siemens CCa As a tube head I simply cannot even stand considering anything German and 6922 and up. The CCa is so expensive for evidently authentic tubes. Am telling th truth usually the price is "call" which means I don't want to show you how greedy I am thes... | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor My wife accepts no serious audio equipment and it can be the prettiest eye candy gear on earth after years of my accumulating the stuff. Her thumb at my nose is insisting on acting like a cool kid by using in ear devices and own not one but two iP... | |

Drill a hole in the cieling and put a large heavy flywheel on a bearing that will accept a cast titanium rod that has a braek away split tackle ring in it.

| true bookshelf speaker You need sonic hollography. Find a good tube amp and invest in top notch 5751s as inputs and 6SN7 Jan CHS 6SN7W metal base tubes. The speaker will try to sound flat but the amp will break their will with magnificant tubes. You can get real chrome ... | |
| Montana KAS Vs Aerial 20T I don't cotton to either brand. I suggest that you get a speaker that has so soiundingme life to it !These speakers are dulled, very muted and overdamped sounding. The KAS in particular has always left me wondering . Did some one forget to take ou... | |
