| here is my delima............ It does sound as if you have total system malaise an old problem of over familiarity with what you have. I like the sound of the Nola/Alon speakers. It does sound however as if you need to think about a new pair of speakers. You may want to stay w... | |
| INFINITY RS 2B CROSSOVER PROBLEM ?? Bill Legal at Millersound is an expert at all things to do with Infinity speakers. He may be able to repair them profesionally. If they are important enough to warrant the shipping and expense, but contact him to see if he can do anything in the f... | |
| Pass X600 Will it heat my room too much ?? I have yet to encounter an amp that put out so much heat that it bummed me out. I have a couple of tube amps with 4 output tubes per channel. One operayes in class A, I am ccertain about that. I freely admit that the tubes get very, very hot and p... | |
| Interconnects Signal Path All I can say is I have thought the very same questions but was afraid to ask. Whatever answer you get will likely be unsatifactory nonesense but let's see if a wire maker attempts an answer! | |
| Mcintosh MC240 can drive Dynaudio Temptation? Probably not enough juice for the Temptations, I wouldn't even attempt it over fear of damage to the old amp. Do you have any other amps to try them with. I know I am not the only nut case with multiple amps. | |
| Replace CDP or Ride out with Existing? There is really only one opinion that matters as usual yours. You have to listen to some other players or transport and DAC combinations and decide whether it sounds significantly better than the current rig. If you want people to tell you that yo... | |
| New home for Avalon Ascendants I didn't always appreciate what the moderators censored but leaving this up is ridiculous. | |
| ARC D-115: What tubes and cables? You can't find real new old stock 6550s anymore. There may be a precious few here or there but the cost will be comensurately high. I don't know why you guys don't like the KT-88. It is a very good tube and the current production Gold Lions produc... | |
| Opinion Needed What ever you get for a source, hook it into your system with a tube buffer, if it doesn't already have a tube output stage. With a name Like Tubemeister I would think I was preaching to the choir. | |
| VTL ULTIMATE M/C DON'T WRITE IN ALL CAPS IT MEANS YOU ARE SCREAMING/YELLING!!I don't know the answer but surely a service person at VTL assuming the company has continued after the death of it's founder, can tell you. If someone other than I answers you perhaps th... | |
| Chemistry question on aluminum Unless you live next to a saltwater spray you should be fine with anodized aluminuim casework etc. Untreated Aluminium will react as has been said but most of what you end up with is treated in some way or other. | |
| McIntosh Vintage C22 Telefunken 12AX7 or ECC803's? You are trying the right tube for low noise and clean signal. If you can get ECC803S, then more power to you, they are selected for the reasons you are tube rolling. | |
| NYC Audio Show this Friday, 12 APR 2013 ? I will be there on Friday as well. | |
| McIntosh Vintage C22 Telefunken 12AX7 or ECC803's? As larryi said there is no ready supply of NOS/OS Telefunken 803S. They are truly rare not the BS rare you see in ads. The cost is astronomical as well. I can help make a tube recommendation if you provide what you want the tube to do to your soun... | |
| Focal Alto Utopia or Dynaudio C2 + Fathom 112 I own older Focals and built my system around them. It is indeed their treble and midrange that is what makes them unique and special. I am not a bass freak but understand your taste/preferences. What is stopping you from adding a JL sub to the Fo... |
