| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Because sometimes it makes the music sound better. It's really not complicated. Not always BTW, sometimes. | |

| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Keep both if you can. They won't get any cheaper or less scarce in the future. | |
| Help me decide Revel or Focal In the cool light of dawn, I must say that while the reward great, it took way too much work to make the Electra 936s, I still own, sound great. A tube pre with remarkable an AE 3 with Sylvania 6SN7WS into amps with Tung Sol 5687s and a very sp... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes @ bigboltz. Does the UV-1 transmit the character of the 6SN7S really well when you roll them? | |
| Please help a rookie –used amps for magnepan 3.7? I guess you decided on tube amps again. Not sure the best for Magggies but you need a lot of juice. Did you consider the Sanders amps made for just these kind of speakers. Price may be prohibitive, perhaps buy used?? If still made.? Aside from ... | |

That said run Big old Cerwin Vegas and some Klipsch Hereseys simultaneously add a sub and you are off to the races. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 I have tried a large number of various 6SN7S in a several different circuits and have found the GT compatible. I have a great deal of respect for Almarg and his engineering approach to system compatibility but my experience differs. That said I... | |
| Tube Physics Question I think it was Nelson Pass who said or made famous the phrase "If the first watt is not good why would you want many more of them?" Or 100s more of them etc. The answer to your question can be ascertained by looking up the parameters available fr... | |
| Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp? A remarkable thread so much truth spoken. Agree strongly that most modern tube pre amps sound is, fast, clean clear, not rolled off or syrupy- unless you want them to be ! Cut to the chase, I recommend the AE-3 by a division of Cary. They are ... | |
| Heard of Soltanus Acoustics ESL Virtuoso ? I stumbled upon this because of Sancho. I guess I didn't want to argue at the time but Brooklyn still only has 13 posts, and had not been posting routinely since 00. What is the policy on advertising anyway ? |
