| I've narrowed it down... Unsound, what you say is normally correct, but if a person wishes to go the tube route and has incompatible speakers for tubes shouldn't fellow members here tell the potential tube buyer that information? Then he can go find the speakers that he l... | |
| I've narrowed it down... Yes, do change speakers, I'm biased toward the Cary's (own or have owned several different models over the years). You might want to read the chat on Zu vs Tekton Lore. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Gpowered, the best recommendation I have ever received in high-end audio. I know we have been talking mostly Lore and Pendragon, but the 4.5 monitors are just as outstanding as above in their category. There isn't a better desktop, small room moni... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Congrats, you found that special tube synergy with your system. So many folks never make it. | |
| Tube Preamp, Amp or Int for holographic imaging? Agree on speaker placement, some quality inexpensive gear might be the Primaluna mentioned above, plus Tekton M-Lore ($649.00 pr.) see Stereo Mojo Review. Nice! | |
| Need efficient floor-stander for 2a3 Tekton Lore is a good choice, excellent speaker. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I agree ZMan... | |
| Floorstanders for small room 10x10ft The Tekton M-Lore fills this bill see latest Stereo-mojo reveiw. Only 34 inches tall, front port allows close to wall placement. Good luck. | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Yes, when you change out the EH KT88s you will get more improvement.Best of luck in getting the best out of your system. | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Joe' Tube Lore basically says what you posted above, no one really disagrees with what you have stated; but for a newby to tubes, Joe is a good starting point in order not to go broke. There are many tube gurus out there, Jim McShane, Kevin Deal a... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Andr, well stated couldn't agree more; love those Sylvania's, have them in one of my units. Like you, I tube roll them out periodically, for instance, roll in the GE for Neil Young or other guitar stuff... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I've had good luck with Silnote Reference IIs, Alpha Core Silver Saphine and home-brew Cardas as recommended by Jeff Day. For speaker, been using PS Audio Statement, Kimber 8TC (older blue black variety) or Alpha Core Silver AG-1 Centerstage, and ... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Joe states all that in his Lore article; but if you are new to tubes it is a good, worthy place to start. | |
| Cary SLI-80 Thoughts? Yes Lougiants is right, let the stock tubes burn-in, get a feel for them, do some research, then let the rolling begin.By-the-way Lou, you a football Giants fan? Perhaps baseball? Or none? I ask since I've been a Giants fan forever. | |
| A Zu / Tekton / Omega Speaker Positioning Thread Cymbop,I am now going o give you my main listening room positioning for Lores only. Room dimensions are 16x26. 9 foot ceiling. When I use the Lores in this room I have them along the short wall 4 feet out into the room, 4 feet from each side wall ... |
