| to bi-wire or not? Big difference on my Tannoy Canterbury, in favor of biwire. | |
| Which tube spots for which affects? It depends the amp, but preamp tubes and amp input/gain tubes (V1) will usually have big overall impact, especially on tone and air. The preamp slot is also going to be the most sensitive to noise and microphony, by far - so careful selection here... | |
| Rogue Audio Dark Upgrade. I am totally not recommending this (lol), but I’ve run a 12BH7 sub for 12AU7 in my Apollos for several years. I also have a friend that does the same in his Zeus. It’s a much better driver tube than 12AU7 in my experience. The driver tubes in an a... | |
| Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes Do they really need feedback? If the Russian production goes poof or buckles under demand, then the market needs big KT tubes first, then 6H30, then smaller power tubes. Small signal tubes would be nice, but old stock is still gonna last us a whil... | |
| Anyone out there own a Clearaudio Double Matrix Pro Sonic? Yep - it’s fantastic because it has a full auto mode that cleans both sides at once so you can work a good clean in without interrupting the flow of a listening session. You can get a full clean done to dry in like 90 seconds. I could never live w... | |
| Audioquest Cheetah vs Audioquest Anaconda @monicajack2122 Old thread, dude! That said I’m literally listening to my headphone desktop rig right now with a 0.75m Audioquest Cheetah XLR. I agree it’s got a bit of an austere sound to it, perhaps slightly lean - certainly compared to the up... | |
| TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? So I have no idea what the deal is with the rumors . The rumors happen because Tannoy has never been transparent and forthright about their operations. Even as a customer (and based on what I’ve seen my dealer go through, them too), communicati... | |
| Speakers for VAC sigma 160i -- need inputs This is quite the old thread! I see I contributed a post showing a healthy interest in the Tannoy DC10A. Well, let me update: I heard that speaker and hated it. The Kensington is way better, despite using the same driver and having a less rigid ca... | |
| Rogue Audio Dark Upgrade. Which amp, specifically? They do it on ST100, M180, Apollo, and even old Zeus. I went from stock 2010 Apollos to 2017 Apollo Dark. To be quite honest, I feel the stock Apollo were a better value. If I could have this back, I would have stuck with... | |
| Russian tube supply issues @prof x1000 - thanks man. | |
| Russian tube supply issues I’m sure everything you guys have ever enjoyed would pass great scrutiny for never harming anyone anywhere along their supply chains 🙄 Get off your high horses. Some of us just want to buy tubes to bring some musical joy into our lives. It doesn’... | |
| Any truth to my feeling that MM carts are possibly better than MC on rock recordings? I think this is just a quirk of the Ortofon MC line. Some 12 years ago when I "upgraded" from Ortofon Kontrapunkt "c" (Cadenza Bronze) to Jubliee (Cadenza Black), I definitely did not feel as engaged in the music - and yes, rock music fell flat. T... | |
| Russian tube supply issues Nobody should feel bad about acquiring tubes for personal use in their expensive tube gear. I honestly don't care where they came from, or who gets the money. Good grief. | |
| Russian tube supply issues I don’t think you will simply be able to buy Russian tubes from other countries, as customs is likely to reject them due to the embargo. Cuban cigars ring a bell? I think this all will also have an impact on NOS prices... Interesting times. I... | |
| SS Substitute for Tube Integrated? We’re going to go through a period of panic, hoarding, and price gouging on power tubes. We’ll probably have to wait a while to see how things look after the dust settles. Personally I won’t be running my Apollo Darks on a "hot" bias setting anymo... |
