| Pumpkin seeds Come to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left you'll find my favorite axe. | |
| Tubes make a digital service sing. Ahh yes, analog and tubes. Formats so good they make even digital sound good. | |
| Pumpkin seeds And that is how I know when I try to get through on the telephone to you, there’ll be nobody home.PS- OP, are all these your guitars? | |
| What do you take when demoing new gear? Been there, done that. One of the reasons I became so insufferably good at this, I put in the work early on. Took my then ten years old Magnavox CDB650 to compare with Proceed. Took my patch cords to compare with XLO interconnects. Even hauled my ... | |
| Pumpkin seeds I’ve got amazing powers of observation.I’ve got a little black book with his poems in it. https://youtu.be/TIEma4NAc9w?t=76Are you feeling okay? | |
| Logical upgrades to a DD turntable. What is the most obvious tweak / upgrade for this type of turntable before spending substantial money on a better cartridge?Sorry, the others must have been so eager to post they missed this one entirely. There’s a couple really cheap yet effectiv... | |
| Opening Record Store Its a rocks in your head thing to do if your goal is income. But if you like High Fidelity (the movie, not the hobby) then it could be a really good way to spend your retirement. Assuming you saved up and have a lot of retirement to spend. Of cour... | |
| Any truth to my feeling that MM carts are possibly better than MC on rock recordings? A little more punch is a good way to describe it. The magnet on the end of a MM cantilever is usually more massive than the coils on the end of a MC. They use this to generate a lot more voltage. Voltage is pressure and pressure is impact. So ther... | |
| Solid Stage vs Tube amp No, its old as in he's tired of reading the same stuff over and over again. But so much info is on-line that if anyone did a search they would find all the answers and never come asking here and the whole thing would degenerate into an endless str... | |
| Speaker design, KenjiT and others. I get it, and totally agree. The coolest live performance ever was the first minute of Holly Cole at the Showbox. Its a very small venue and she started off with I Am Calling You. Just Holly Cole. No mic. No amp. Just her voice. Now even in that s... | |
| Solid Stage vs Tube amp I'm sure that by far the biggest factor is you're so used to the grainy etched thin hyper sound of SS and digital, and with probably just about everyone around telling you this is neutral, that its tubes that are euphonic and colored, that in your... | |
| Photos of my system Near field is totally the way to go. Bet it sounds great. Good job posting pics. Wish more would go to the trouble. Well done! Thanks! | |
| Do tubes require burn in? Yes, of course. Everything goes through cycles of burn-in and warmup. | |
| Ar ethe current LP's available for $25 or so as goos as the old ones. chakster is right, we need to distinguish between record collectors and audiophiles. I actually hadn't even thought about that. I assumed the OP was talking about new ultra-audiophile issues where the specialized and limited pressing drives the pr... | |
| Driving different pairs of speakers with different speaker wire lengths Ralph nailed it, the amp is simply overheating and shutting down. Ventilation is a factor but since this seems to be happening pretty regularly after an hour its probably because the total impedance load is stressing and causing the amp to overhea... |
