| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? You're not a serious audiophile if you never took advantage of a sensitive moment to buy something - I told my wife that I was negotiating a new pair of speakers the day my first kid was born. There she was holding the baby with tears of pain and ... | |

| Mastersound Evo 845 or Line Magnetic 219ia Facten,I listened to the 219ia for four times so far. In two occasions it was using the stock valves and in other two auditions it was running valves from Genalex and from FullMusic. And yes, there was a difference with the latter setup for the be... | |
| CHINESE tubes? Chinese tubes are quite satisfying in my opinion. Not only more affordable, but also reliable and sonically good. I'm using the KT88 from Shuguang and compared to other brands that I tried on the same amplifier, the results (sonically) are not muc... | |
| Mastersound Evo 845 or Line Magnetic 219ia I never listened to the Evo, but I can tell you about the Line Magnetic; not only the LM219, but also the LM518 and the LM508. All of them sound amazing! The 219 is the best, presenting a wider, bigger soundstage together with more clarity and pre... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? You're not a serious audiophile if you don't run to check your tubes when your baby touches them while they're running hot! Afterwards maybe you check on your baby's fingers... | |

| Question about valves running hours Whart - thank you for that "History class" :) It's really interesting to learn how people dealt with gear in the past - this case, valves.It seems a valve was something simple and common, like a light bulb. | |
| Question about valves running hours Another pertinent question: If valves were the power support to all communications in a recent past (from tv and radio broadcast to military coms), for how long would they live? Would a valve survive more than a few hundred hours? Were they replac... | |
| Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out? No. Nope. Nothing.My speakers don't smell and they rock a lot! | |
| Question about valves running hours Williewonka, sorry for your bad experience with that Chinese brand, but Cayin is a well known reputable name. Their products are top notch with lots of good reviews all over the world. Doesn't mean that a product coming out of their shelves couldn... | |
| How many pair of speakers do you own? 5 pairs.3 pairs for 3 different systems and 2 pairs attached to the same system (both connected to the same source and amplifier, in different locations - one pair is right in front of the sofa for movies and near field listening, the other pair i... | |
| Question about valves running hours Thank you all for your comments. My amplifier is a push-pull from Cayin. When I bought it, the lady in the shop told me to run it for periods no longer than 7 to 8 hours due to the heat. And to wait some time before turning it on again (I understo... | |
| Cayin A 300B I believe the same, Coolhunter, no need to reinvent the wheel. Cayin products prove that a classic approach works great if you put a lot of care and the best parts together. I'm very happy with the quality of my small Cayin and the sound is also g... | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? Go try the Zu. They have many models, one of them might suit you. Regardless of the model, you will get that "live concert " experience. I own a pair of Zu Omen Def because I was exactly searching for that "live " effect and I'm more than happy! |
