| Top ten tube amps i would consider 5 a more practical number.cj mv125, audio research d76, cj mv100, beard 75 watt amp, original quad 15 watt monoblock amps.tubes rule, don't be a solid state fool. | |
| THE Show 07 i think it might be useful for those of us who are going to ces to meet and go to a few exhibits to compare perceptions.if anyone wants to get together, we could provide cell phone numbers and/or agreee to meet at a particular day, time and venue. | |
| Digital Cables and Analog...interchangable? why not just try the analog interconnect as a digital cable and hear the affect on the sound of your stereo system ? | |
| Which $7000 speakers to ask Santa? mg 20.1 and an amp to go with it. no subs are needed. | |
| How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies it has arrived. it has been intrfaced. and.......it's good solid state , but...... it doesn't sound like a tube amp.its roger sander's ss amp designed for electrostatic speakers and other dipoles.a noble effort it is and a product fairly priced. i... | |
| Speaker disappearing act? each to his own. i don't care where the music comes from. if an instrument sounds real, its sound can come from the left speaker. i think the disappearing act is over rated.it is not important to me. neither is soundstage. its not real and doesn't... | |
| Isolation device under Ayre CX-7e? try sound fusion sound boosters. i reviewed this product on the website audiophilia.com . check the archive section. | |
| Anybody still using soft rubber isolation devices? it is my experience that hard objects "enhance" resolution, while soft objects "attenuate" energy in the upper mid/lower treble region. yes, this is a generalization and i can mention a few exceptions, such as dh cones and dh squares.i prefer soft... | |
| THE Show 07 hi reubent;you can read some of my feature articles by clicking on the "archives" header. i have written on such topics as neutrality, accuracy and musicality, synergy, what is the purpose of a stereo system and knowledge, opinion and the audio ex... | |
| At what price do amps start to sound considering new rather than used, tube rather than solid state, i would say $2000 =, depending upon power requirement. remember one mans rapture is another man's rupture. | |
| Tube Amp & Preamp for ML Summits? if you are willing to spend a bit more, you could consider the wolcott stereo amp. it has an interesting feature, a variable damping factor.i heard the amp drive a pair of mg 3.6s .you should have no problem with the summits. | |
| Got the itch again "real bad" for tube mono blocks listen, listen and listen again. there are alot of products out there. power and voicing are salient issues.it is hard to recommend any. i too am looking for a tube amp and i have no short list right now.however, the cary, audio research, rogue, c... | |

| Odd Combination/Insanity? i tried listening to 2 different speakers several times. in my case, one speaker was a quad esl 63 while the other was a magnepan 2.7 .i used a pair of vtl deluxe 120. the amp survived and so did my ears. it was interested to compare the two speak... | |
| "romantic" sounding cabling cables sound different, regardless of the other components in a stereo system.i too like "soft" sounding cables, regardless of what amp, preamp, speakers, digital source i am using.i am currently on my own cable odyssey. it is not unreasonable to ... |
