| Sources for NOS tubes Anyone buy tubes from Advantage Tube Services (www.tubeman.com) located in Florida? Upscale Audio won't sell tubes unless you buy electronics from Upcsale Audio or at the present time as of Friday, he is out of stock on 6922s. | |
| SACD's: Recomendations, ones to avoid I have had the SCD-777ES since Feb. I have all of the DMP recordings. They are at or near the top of the list. I have SACDs from each label (MFSL, DMP, Waterlilly, Sony, Telarc). It depends on the recording. | |
| Nirvana cables...anyone with experience? I evaluated Harmonic, Audioquest Anaconda, and Nirvana S-X ic in my system. Nirvana S-X rules. I am comparing the S-X to a similar priced Siltech 4FTM this week. | |
| Digital Amps. How good are they? I own the Bel Canto also. See my review (1st entered in Audioreview.com). I have had mega buck tube and solid state amps in my system but none of them do all things right like the EVo. Transparency, neutrality, frequency extention, dynamics, and s... | |
| PASSIVE Preamp and LIFELESSNESS? I am running the EVS Attenuator on the Bel Canto EVo right now. I am also getting a used First Sound Presence Preamp this week. I'm mainly evaluating an active preamp because the Sony SACD is known to have a poor output stage (I like SACD so I'm n... | |
| PowerSnake Owners Unite! I own one Black Mamba and 2 Sidewinders. They replace Harmonic Tech pc which was an improvement. I was in Hamilton, Canada last weekend (near Ontario) and heard the Foundation Research line conditioner/power cord in a friend's system. The improvem... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Loco, have you heard the Talons? I have and have also heard speakers that range up to $15K. If you think making more money than someone else makes you a better person then you are only deluting and serving yourself and not adding anything of value... | |
| Tubes & Audio Research Corp. I have purchased tubes from Kevin Deal for my GTA SE40, my GTA SEP-1SE, an my SF line 2. In all cases, I have been extremely happy with the tubes. Kevin knows his tubes, how they will sound with a certain model and takes the time to test them thor... | |
| PS Audio Multiwave I'm interested in hearing what it sounds like but I'm having a hard time getting one. I called one of the dealers to order it (1st mistake) the second day it became available. I've heard twice, "we are getting a shipment in a few days and we'll se... | |
| Does room size affect volume and bass? Since we are on the subject, if given a choice, how would you position speakers in a half catheral ceiling room? Highest ceiling height above the listener or the opposite? I have two different opinions from speaker designers. Would a half catheral... | |
| Placette pre amps Marko445, can I get your email, when I enter your user name at the member lookup it comes up as an invalid name. I also have the SCD-777ES and am going passive with the EVS Attenuators into the Bel Canto EVo amp. What interconnects are you using? ... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices Megasam, At first I tried the Aurious with the Rosinante Dark Matter Shelves, but the Auriuos was not leveled properly. This sounded good. In an effort to save money, I did my darnest to level my SACD player with the $500 Rosinante Shelve and on a... | |
| Bel-Canto Evo THE best amp? I have had the EVo since May 20th. It replaced the well reviewed $7K McCormack DNA2 Limited Anniversary Edition. See my review in Audioreview.com for the EVo. Reviewers and editors such as Srajan Iebaen from Soundstage, Clement Perry for Steretime... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices As posted in mid July, I have been enjoying my Aurious under my SACD and Bel Canto Evo. Sold my Rosinante Dark Matter Shelves. I have a less obese Powersnake (Black Mamba) connected to the SACD. I first leveled the granite plate base sitting on to... | |
| Analysis Plus Speaker cables Looks like the info I presented was correct and the intuition that the coax design used in the Silver Oval is more costly was "on". I'm glad to know that the wire gage is also equal in the positive and negative directions. |
