| nice box for tube storage -- where can I find one? Your local cigar shop, or maybe find another one of these;[url]http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?accstube&1307579603[/url] | |
| DIY. Whose speakers would you use? Orpheus 10, I have heard the Polk's are good sounding speakers for the money. So are Paradigm and others. The Audio Note kit is primarily for those wanting to use relatively low power tube amps, or maybe low power SS Class A amps, so a different m... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I have owned a few pretty good SS amps (and one hybrid). I am not sure whether I will ever have a "keeper for life," since there are other amps I would like to try, but I consider the following amps (at least close to) keepers. My order of prefere... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Mr. T, when you say,i ecenetly spoke to dan wright about his mods to the sony and the opp 83 se. here is a choice. in essence, warmth vs detail.Which one is warm and which one is detailed? Is this based on your conversation with Dan? If so, is the... | |
| DIY. Whose speakers would you use? How about the Audio Note Speaker Kit 04 (AlNiCo). The cost is $7K but you can purchase the cabinet (unfinished) for $950 so for about $8K you can have a close proximity of their AN-E/SEC Silver except the kit has silver voice coils and AlNiCo magn... | |
| Cardas Cold Forging One thing I haven't seen addressed either in the Cardas video or in this thread is that Cardas wire is coated - from their website:As each strand is drawn, the resultant ultra pure surface is immediately given a urethane enamel "Litz" coating. Thi... | |
| Spikes or Spikeless Speakers with four feet are a PITA. For all my previous speakers, I had custom Sound Anchor stands made, and those guys know the benefit of a three foot base. There is no need for the constant adjustment. My current speakers came with Sound Anchor... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Aintitgr8, you say,My common sense proof of when you are done with wire comes when the given cost of a wire upgrade that makes a discernable difference is still under what a better component can do that costs more.IMO, for me at least, that point ... | |
| Vintage Amps - Pleasantly surprised Dark Side Of The Moon had just been released and the sound was "completely transportive" through that tube system.Steve, Thanks for the memories. I too have fond recollections of the systems my buddies and I owned (large Sansui receiver with Jense... | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? I think a lot of it depends on your speakers and what type of amp sounds best with them. Mine like lots of power. A year or so ago, I had a tubed CD player, tubed preamp and hybrid (tube input stage) amps. Very dense, rich sound, wonderful midrang... | |
| Which speakers to get for a Very Large Room. There is no such thing as an Aerial 9B. The Aerial 9 has not changed since it was introduced. I own a pair and they are wonderful sounding dynamic speakers for largish rooms, although not quite as good for small rooms. The downfiring port and fron... | |
| Which speakers to get for a Very Large Room. Marakanetz, I am unaware of either an Aerial 9B or 12T. Their newest speakers to my understanding are the upgraded 7B, now called a 7T (total facelift/upgrade), and the 20T V2. They also have an SW12 subwoofer. Do you have information about new Ae... | |
| Furutech spades on copper cables These would be hard to soundly beat for the price, and they are in your length and bi-wire with two separate and dedicated wire sizes;http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablspkr&1304647307&/Acoustic-Zen-Double-Barrel-10F | |
| Furutech spades on copper cables Maril555, yes I do like the Furutech stuff and it is somewhat expensive, but less than bi-wire Cardas GR in 10 ft. lengths. Furutech also makes less expensive bulk OFC cable. The Furutech cable can be purchased from Partsconnexion, who has sale pr... |
