| Recommend speakers for a restaurant sound system I love JBL but couldn't imagine a speaker less suited to relaxed dinner conversation than the shriek of an Aeon. I really do like JBL. If you contract with them they will put in a beautiful theater type rig. Klipsh is also too distracting. Get som... | |
| Annoying Sibilance Problem The total empiricists "I never liked math guide" to phono stages first asks if you just changed your phono stage. second do you run it through a big tone mellow line stage after that.Which helps as foil.I switched away from an all tube ARC pre wit... | |
| Room Treatment: Whatcha Got? My listening space is baffled with a complex admixture of adorbing absorbing a complex reflective facades creating a very halographic but not numb overdamped anechoic chamber. Keep it lively. a lot like Jloveys but piles of useless stuff all over. | |
| Looking for preamp suggestions Add some to the budget. Get an Accuphase that will have all the gizmos you want. | |
| Are Ohm Walsh Speakers the Poor Man's MBLs? No I don't think so. Ohms are Ohms and MBLs are Pinapples. yes both radial yes inefficient no completely different air motion interfaces. MBL has strips of an that rely on an electrostaic air disturbance versus ohms which rely on more conventional... | |
| Quick silver M100 best tubes I really disagree with your assessment of the Gold Lion reissues. They are the richest sounding well rounded tonally balanced KT-88 in current production.Jim McShane on Audio Asylum tubes is the dealer of choice when it comes to current productio.... | |
| Jadis with Telefunken 12AX7/ECC83 tubes It is coincidentle that in the DA-60 I have that both 12AX7s are current production Tung Sol steel pin. I swap these for Sylvania triple mica blabk plates from the lat 50s. I just had some fresh looking RCA Command 5751s which were simply to fragi... | |
| Hi End Pre-Amp shoot out in central jersey? The whole post is written as hyperbole. The gain is ridiculous though for the MC circuit it really is in excess of 70. The line stage isn't exactly low key either. The phono on ther sp6B is legendary as one of the first that could really amplify t... | |
| Tube Rolling.......my first experience.....WOW Tube rolling is a very addictive habit. The reason appears to be one of the strongest behavior modifiers. The so called intermittant reinforcement. If every time you bought an old tube worked great obviously the hit or miss factor is gone and the ... | |

I have no Bat, No Hallcro,I know a preson with the Dartz,I do have a one off ultramodded ARC SP6B last altered circa 1980, with a phonon that has approx. 200db of gain. The gain selection is soldered in the high position the switch byopassed. To g... | |

| 12AX7A and AT7 tubes Actuallly the price of a used pair of Blackburn Mullards, not re-issue, maybe a worthwhile experiment albeit expensive if the tubes are from a seller who will stand behind the product. The best current production is the Tung Sol either gold pin wh... | |
| New turntable recommendations I have a MM-7 now A Transrotor turbillion used from the estate of an audiophile with a clueless family. I just love the look. | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? The heat is really only an issue if you don't use a tube cage and have small kids. I hate being hot. Yet I am not warmed up by the tubes in either of my two main rigs each uses either 8 output tubes fat botle 6CA7s or KT-88s.I own 7 tube amps all ... |
