| Electrostatic vs. Boxed vs. Ribbon? Seems strange no one has mentioned Apogee. Ramy, I think your generalizations of the four groups is well...generally right. As has been pointed out their are always cross dressers.I don't quite agree with the idea ribbons have a small sweet spot. ... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Tube Groover and Detlof, thankyou for the civil sanity. I shouldn't have stooped to the needling. I don't write here out of ego. I just get carried away with relating my successes. It is a bit cruel of me to brag about Apogees, when most visitors ... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Asa tell me. If your ear/mind were to catch the sound of a player and piano in a nearby room, and searching, you found the two, stopped awhile for a listen, would you spend the remainder of your life searching for a more real musical experience? S... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Wrong again. Jadis matches very well with most Apogees. The Scintilla stands alone as a beast for an amp. It does take lots of current, but not a powerful amp. I have a friend who is very happy with his Scintilla powered by an 80 watt class A amp ... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Asa, your last post took the words right out of my fingers. For your information, I only mentioned "other sources" because I am humble enough to know my word is as only good as the distance between my mouth and my ears when it comes to forum reade... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Asa, thanks for the compliment about my writing skills. I accept that under protest because I think visually and writing is something of a disjunct from my real life. Don't presume that I am a duck out of water concerning myth and science, though,... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. ISTT, the ML20 is cool looking, huh. | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Asa, I've read with interest both of your treatises. You sound like an old friend of mine, a Professor of Philosophy. I haven't heard such an emotional science versus art lecture since my friend bent my ear over Science's inhumanity in dealing wit... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Drubin, that's what I've been saying. What cd player are you using? The Pass X amp acts as a signal magnifying free flowing conduit. According to a professional audio system designer I know, the Pass X and XA stand alone. He says, "No one combines... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. I'm with Twl; never even read the specs written in your amp manual - ooo6% is meaningless. It is the final sound that counts. Then again, just saying tubes rule, says nothing, except that of your personal experience. Great tubes are expensive. I u... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. TWL, I think you are putting too much emphasis on Unsound's mentioning specs. Asa, as has been pointed out to you, there are a great number of tube users switching to Pass solid states, class A amps, and hybrid amps. The same can be made of ss use... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Unsound and 7p, Sonic Frontiers is a great company. My pre amp was great. With the right tubes, like with any other valve component, the SF Line amps, cd player (defunct), and Pre amps are world class. Using a valve pre amp in conjunction with an ... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. It is my opinion that tubes, used sparingly, lend a sense of palpable liquidness to the sound. I like keeping the tube amplification in the primary step up station. After that, I think more tubes are superfluous, at best. After all, how much even ... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Kevziek, your response is refreshing. I need to restate my "blackness" preference. Most music's final sound is created in the production lab. There, things are separated, remixed, and immersed in new ambience. I prefer live music recordings. For i... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Markenetz, that means the the Gamut is three times as good as the Jolida 100 w/ NOS tubes, whereas I can't find any thing to improve on using the Jolida. Something is out of whack. |
