| When showing your system to others, what do you do Ask them what they want to hear. That said I will someday host our audiophile society meeting and plan on putting something really non audiophile on like Mowtown or pop rock. Then the classic evaluation stuff. Regular people are not that intereste... | |
| Am I a burning out audiophile???? No not at all you are a typical audiophile. You can always do what I do for the most part and keep your stuff . When you want to hear it just put it on. The only problem is I am running out of space. Fire sale to follow!!! | |
| audio aero prima cdp... burn in. Mine was burnt out when I bought it! Its transport, the one you can't get anymore, died after about 8 months. I got it from one the Agon family members - shame shame shame. | |
| 12AT7 tubes There is no need to stay with the JJs. I have a bunch of 12AT7s except the truly expensive and rare they all have their own sound, Start rolling. | |
| Driving Thiels You can drive virtually any speaker with virtually any amp. The question is how good will it sound. I have heard The 2.6 size Thiel sound really good with a solid (not state) 200wpc amp. Some higher current 100 watt amps, like your Forte should be... | |
| How to get the most out of Jadis DA50S? Its too bad I didn't see this before. Don't biwire before you know the ohm ratings on the Taps. Call Pierre Gabriel find his website under the manufacturers list on this site he has an 800 number. He's a nice guy and will most likely tell you ever... | |
| what is good sound ? I 2nd the first answer!Warren I'm truly impressed that you are a polyglot and dig such masterpieces. I know you love music too. I totally agree it's a question that has no real answer sort of like trying to describe a color. | |
| which power conditioner unit? The best power conditioner is none at all, if you don't have nasty power. Be sure you need it, a voltage regulator might be more useful. Again be certain you have bad power. Dedicated lines work great in many cases. YMMV | |
| What's best low cost 845? I am very intersted in the Dared amp. Where did you hear it? Why do you like it so much? In essence what makes a good 845 amp for the poor souls with empty pockets. | |
| Stereo Tube Amps for JM Labs Electra 927 Be I own 936s which I use Aragon monoblocs with at 400wpc, not the best high powered amps I ever heard, but a good deal. Even though 400wpc high current may seem like complete overkill. I can tell you the 936s with the big double woofers, despite rat... | |

| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective I was with Trelja when we auditioned the newer Quads that won the Stereophile product of the year. In fact Joe you used Pipe and Slippers as well as very "Polite", and we did hear it with A CJ pre which we kept adjusting much to the salesmans anno... | |
| New Tubes- Need Burn-In? Rumor has it that those GEC clone flat plate KT-88s from Shuguang are incredible. Is that really misguided??BTW I am late to this thread, the answer is absolutely, you must burn in a new tube to get the best sound it has to offer. They burn in but... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective Its as though a veil had been lifted and someone took three layers of blankets off my speakers when I put the isolation blocks under the ultra phase 3 modification of my Esoteric Reiymo combation of the X-1 and 777 CDP fused into a single box only... |
