| How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies my only concern with solid state is running out of the room because the upper mids and lower treble becomes a pain in the ear.does anyone have a problem with treble response when listening with a solid state amp ?? i have been spoiled by tube "sof... | |
| panel speaker purchase thank you gentlemen for your suggestions. i tend to favor full range panel speakers. thanks again Bob Reynolds. i spoke to roger sanders today and he is sending me his stereo version of his solid state design especially suitable for magnepans and ... | |
| How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies gentlemen:i will be getting roger sanders solid state stereo amp to try with my 1.6s --about 400 watts. i'll let you know what i hear.i'm a bit skeptical, having lived with tubes for years. many posts have indicated the virtues of solid state with... | |
| Tube question i think it is more of the case of the "new tube sound", which is very resolving and much closer to solid state. circuits are designed today not to be tube sensitive so that it almost doesn't matter what tube you use.the tube is less important than... | |
| decware zbox i auditioned the tube line stage/buffer recently.it's ok. i used both 12au7 and 12ax7. i did not hear much of a difference when varying tubes. i heard more of a difference from changing power cords.if you favor resolution you may like it. it has o... | |
| Anyone else experiencing the rude highend retailer rude dealers is one reason why more manufacturers sell direct.i hope this trend continues, although it adds a degree of risk and nuisance to the component selection process.many manufacturers are cordial when receiving calls from customers and are... | |
| "break-in" period? . . . how to hi jaybo, i have found components which sound worse after break-in. i preferred the musical fidelity a5 before it had 200 hours on it. there have been cables which i preferred with no break-in. there is no way to predict the degree of change in th... | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? if you buy an amplifier and then are clever enough to recreate the sound of the amplifier, using different parts, why is that a problem? presumably Chinese manufacturers are using different tubes and other parts than what would be found in a CJ am... | |
| How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies what is normal listening levels ? isn't around 80db ?50 watts at 3 meters should have no trouble generating 80 db. for those who want to ratch up the intensity, i guess, more power is needed. is it necessary ? | |
| How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies it's all about perspective. i prefer rear hall. i can achieve that with a 50 watt tube amp. you don't need a wolcott for a rear hall presentation of an orchestra. if you want front row, well, that's another matter. | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? why would anyone be concerned that an amplifier assembled in China sounds like a CJ ? is it possible that there are amps assembled in the US which also sound like a CJ ?most tube amps of a given wattage sound similar and most of them sound like so... | |
| SACD and an audiophile question kevin halvorsen is a recording engineer and digital designer. i think his resume gives him credibility on this subject. oh yes, he is a major proponent of dvda. | |
| SACD and an audiophile question gentlemen, ask kevin halvorsen of muse what he thinks about sacd. it may surprise you. you may want to rethink the assumption that sacd is preferable to cd. | |
| SACD and an audiophile question you raise a lot of points.from my own experience, i don't necessarily believe that newer recordings are better than older recordings.a very good, or excellent recording is in my opinion, not a good test of a stereo system. i prefer an "average" re... | |
