| Amplifier Weight. A Factor? Yes the pounds sound. | |
| Half the information on CDs is analogue The pits only serve to provide digital iformation which requires translation. The reason for integral or external DACs is to translate the digital (not analog) to analog otherwise you couldn't get anything from the pits. If you mean analog is defi... | |
| Review: Comparison of 5751 Tubes Raytheon, Sylvania, and more Tweak Its always a difficult to try and compare tubes of even a single variety e.g. 5751s which I have been collecting for only a year or so. I have 3 different Raytheon types alone, FWIW I also seem to prefer the double mica Raytheon although they are ... | |

| audience au24 I don't think Audience sells direct. I bought some Au 24s and Like them but that is not going to help you. What might is a dealers who may be able to let you home demo a used pair from the shop. | |
| Solid state; when would you use tubes? Chazzbo: I thought I was the only insomniac who wrote rambling minifestos. However even with your mind going at the speed of light which it doesn't by rules of nuerotransmision it can work at more than one thing at once and become a tad congested ... | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? Yes I use them I have 4 pairs older than 1985 I can think of. Posted a thread a while back got a lot of responses. What did you want to chat about? Everyone likes to talk about whatever the latest thing is. My speakers are any where between 47 yea... | |
| What happens when? The real question is what happens when you use a highout put MM with a phono stage set up for real low output MCs. I guess you sit there with a catchers mitt grabbing pieces of speaker cones and motors or leave the attenuator on max defeat, and li... | |
| Loudspeakers that go LOUD? Don't know those Tylers, but the ones I heard were 3 way monitors . Firstly it's not inherently a true monitor character to play at high SPLs. Your room isn't that huge there are an infinite number of speakers that will sound good at 90-100 decibe... | |

| Vincent Products Just be aware that Vincent is many times more expensive than ShengYa which you can find with a little work. Be aware also that Shengya does not offer the full line at 120 volts. I have heard Vincent not Shengya and was not particularly taken with ... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Macrojack you obviously have't heard of Bill. Don't pass judgement on his fund of knowledge regarding speakers. His primary work is repairing every type of speaker there is and very little manufacturing he can modify the sound of virtually any spe... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Warren you are right you don't need me at all but there is a consensus re the speakers that keeps the group cohesive and reassuring to each other. Why interfere? All Zu issues aside, I think there is a definite break in period for many elements in... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Warren: Should I say anything or not? I know it will get me burnt to a crisp but I have actually heard tthese several times sans the sub. Maybe I should let these happy people celebrate without my impressions.-Steve P.S. I have stayed out of the d... | |
