| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put hi tmsorosk:all i said is what my preferences are and that since a dealer sells components in production, i would have to buy them used.obviously you are entitled to your opinion, as i am mine.i did not discuss my knowledge of anything. | |
| Your best power & preamp tubes combination? keep in mind that the vintage of the tube is factor in determining its sound.with 12au7, i find the older brimar and mullard are my favorite. so far a tungsol 12axz has worked well in my cd player, but i am not sure of its vintage. | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? my system was sounding "soft".i substituted the power cord from the cd player and replaced it with the mac burley. there was plenty of "slam" and some increased extension in the treble. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? i suppose its a philosophical issue, namely that knowledge can not be derived from sense perception.it is very easy to make a mistake and misidentify an instrument. there are many examples of recordings where that is so.certainly our jury system p... | |
| The color of audio and ambassadorship on what basis is it incumbent upon any hobbyist to proselytize ? | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC i have used a 12au7 brimar in the minimax. while i did not achieve a classic tube sound, i heard the affect of then tube.it created a "flavor" to the sound of my stereo system, which i would conjecture could not be replicated by a ss dac. | |
| The color of audio and ambassadorship its obvious that you don't need an expensive stereo system to enjoy music.the only reason to perpetuate this type of consumption is self-serving. that's ok. but let's be truthful about trying to convince someone to spend large sums of money on aud... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put i guess i am a somewhat different kind of audiophile. i only like panel speakers and have not found a solid state amp that i have enjoyed listening to.thus i will select tubed amps and preamps, panel speakers and probably a tubed digital source.si... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? let me add two other caveats:human beings are subject to two errors in perception, i.e., omission and commission.sometimes we fail to hear what is on a recording and other times we ascribe information to a recording which is not there.let me give ... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put i did not say that a person consulting a dealer is an ignoramus. but if you can do something yourself, why ask someone else to do it for you.here are several examples.as a homeowner, i have done plumbing repair in my house. if i had more experienc... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? i have been told by a person familiar with silver wire that continuous cast silver exhibits none of the stereotypicalsonic characteristics of silver. the wire is stranded. | |
| Laying it on the line hi doug:sorry i did not pick up on the humor. | |
| Vintage Tube Services Still in business? i spoke to andy at3:40 ny time and ordered a pair of mullard tubes (12au7). he is recovering from hernia surgery. | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put hi seattlehifi:you have not answered my question:do you think you can configure a stereo system that i prefer, as opposed to a stereo system that i configured for myself ?if you can't, the basic flaw in dealer effectiveness, is that the customer k... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? psychophysics is a discipline within the field of psychology.its principles are applicable to detecting differences between the sound of components.two terms to consider are adaptation level and differential threshold.i'll try to be brief.the diff... |
