| I saw Jethro Tulls 50th Anniversary Concert Last Night Tough crowd for sure. A big Tull fan since their beginning. Wow, 32 times. Might be a record. Saw them live, only twice. I generally never expect the sound in many of these places to have good acoustics, especially with amplifiers and speakers eve... | |
| Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer? charles1dad made a comment : " 5 truly superb musicians who’ve mastered their respective instrument ". I very well understand, that someone can enjoy the " sound of a particular instrument ", but instruments, require someone to play them." Any ins... | |
| You know it's a great day when... great find...never had such luck.. | |
| Tool Fear Inoculum impressions They are a very talented, and great, band. BUT, IMO, Undertow, is still their best work. No need to comment...ymmv.....Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing mozartfan, when I owned it ( for about a year's time ) it produced quite more heat, than my 100 wpc Krell KSA 100. And, because of my, admittedly, high volume levels, microphonics was a big problem ( other tube products, as well, not just the Defy... | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... Will, based on other posts of his, shows this common behavior. I feel justified in my comment, as, I have nothing personal against him. But, high end audio, is an adult hobby, and should be handled as such. I also want to point out, that Will is n... | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing The OP, in his initial post, mentions the speakers he is using. All that is needed is to read.....imo | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... I feel autospec offers a reasonable product, with his Dynaco 70 rebuilds, although, I would not buy one myself. As someone mentioned above, autospec is a big crybaby, as, if he does not get what he wants, he goes public with his bantering, and tri... | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing I had a Defy 7. One of the better tube amps I owned, or borrowed. Extremely high input impedance ( around 500 K ). Sounded great with matching Jadis preamp. There are straps under the chassis to get a good match between it and the speakers it is d... | |
| McIntosh MC2152 power amp technical question As stated above, if you swapped cables and the problem moved from the right to left, it is not the amps input, but a cable or the preamp / source... | |
| Bose 301 modifications Back in the day, we " stacked " pairs of Advents, ARs, KLH, JBLs, Klipsch Heresy, whatever we had 2 pairs of. Do the same with the 301s,and she would likely be happy. They are not worth the time, nor money, to rebuild them, imo. Also, you can add ... | |
| McIntosh MC2152 power amp technical question No responses. If I were you, I would contact Mcintosh. | |
| Speaker Volume I have tried a few phone apps to use, but heavily rely on my Radio Shack meter. A few good meters are available, starting at $20, going up to double, that I feel are superior to using the phone apps. My feeling is that the phones ( the built in mi... | |
| New Tortuga passive/active tube pre looks like a winner This Tortuga might be perfect for you, as you seem to like tubes, but this is not a 100 % passive pre, imo. The attachment above, to the piece, even indicates, in the 1st paragraph of the description, it is an active tube preamp. | |
| Speaker Volume The Persona B is a high quality bookshelf, stand mounted ( preferable ) speaker that has a bass limit to 60hz, + or - 2db. Not a cranking type speaker, ime. Your Nad is 140 watt Nad power, so this should not the problem. I would run the speakers, ... |
