| Preamp Noob has a question Take the advice and run to get an integrated with tubes, many brands available, Primaluna, Etc. | |
| shindo aurieges .... Hi Gopher, no it wasn't your comments per se, but it did spark the thought. I believe my sentiments are similar to yours in most ways/cases. I certainly did'nt want to offend, if I did I apologize. | |
| shindo aurieges .... I believe that if you called John Devore he would give a big thumbs up to tubes and Leben and Shindo in particular. | |
| shindo aurieges .... I'll come right out and say it: I do not understand how or why a number of audiophiles prioritize extreme detail and clarity over musicality and tone. I want to hear the music, not the pen dropped by a percussionist, or a small fart let go by the ... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Grayf, first, I'm happy for you that you are having a good time tube rolling, learning, listening and so forth; but, I have a small piece of advise, be careful where you buy tubes from. For example, on Audiogon there are some excellent tube seller... | |
| Speaker rec for difficult placement $1,000 I second Zmanastronomy, give the Tekton Lores or M-Lores a try; easy to set- up and works well with low-powered amps. Stereo Mojo award-winner, big bang for bucks. See reviews there as well as Enjoy-The-Music for the M-Lores. | |
| I've narrowed it down... Charles1Dad, all one has to do is trust one's own ears in ones own listening room. | |
| I've narrowed it down... No, I don't want to go on and on so I won't be checking the archives as it does't really matter that much. I trust the original poster can read between the lines and shall make whatever decision he makes and goes on a similar path as most all audi... | |
| I've narrowed it down... Obviously, I agree with Atmasphere here since I am a tube guy; but the discussion is not SS vs Tubes, but what component do you buy first? Speakers or Amp? The real question is SS or tubes to contradict myself. After that decision is made then it'... | |
| I've narrowed it down... That's the point, it goes either way depending on fiat and personal circumstances for most people. If I were a newby like everyone once was, I'd likely would first have to ask myself this question: SS or tubes? Say I chose SS. Ok, what speakers? F... | |
| PrimaLuna DiaLogue Seven Speaker Match I agree with Orpheous10, I bought the 12AU7 RCA Cleartop side getter for my Dialogue 1, took it way up and it was not subtle. Everything was much, much better. | |
| I've narrowed it down... Unsound, so why don't you give some concrete scientific back-up to that reasoning. In the real-world what I stated is the more likely scenario as to Charles1Dad attests; this is also my real-world scenario. My father and uncles all had great tube ... | |
| amplification for devore fidelity nines ? Nice system! When I get out to Ca next, stopping by Pitch Perfect. | |
| I've narrowed it down... Unsound, you don't get it, or misread my post, where I basically agreed with your premise under ideal conditions. So, let me give you another example where it might not work out that way.Let's say I'm a newby like we all were at one time. I put go... | |
| amplification for devore fidelity nines ? I would go with Leben or Shindo if possible, my next upgrade, provided the economy does't completely fall apart with maybe DeVore's 096 Orangutan. |
