| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? Yes and no. The Amperex have worn out and I wanted opinions on the Russian tubes (especially if someone has experience with the CJ pre). I've heard good things about various tubes (recently, Russian tubes). In the name of saving money and time, I ... | |
| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? Thanks guys - good info. | |
| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? PPSReliable suppliers you guys recommend? | |
| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? Thanks for the responses. I’d love to have more suggestions and reputable sources for tubes and thoughts about the quality of the Russian/modern tubes vs NOS tubes. I’ve had the pre for quite awhile (and I still have a couple of others including S... | |
| Help: Burning High Res Audio to DVD Thanks guys. I've figured it out now. I was using AShampoo to burn the WAV files to DVD, but the setting had to be UDF 1.02 rather than the default setting. This is because the transport expects 1.02 not 1.5. | |
| Help: Burning High Res Audio to DVD PSMy primary computer is a PC, but my wife and kids use a Mac so any solution on any platform would be helpful.Thanks | |
| Ripping CD's - Bypassing Computer CD Player I've scanned it and will read it carefully soon. Is there a bottom line in that discussion? Seems like it was one opinion against another. Did you reach a conclusion? | |
| Ripping CD's - Bypassing Computer CD Player Thanks for the answers. I've used both Exact Audio Copy and dBpoweramp for ripping my CD's but was concerned. As Dtc noted there used to be reviews on the quality of the drives and Plextor came out on top. My current drive is a Plextor, but though... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Hey Jeff, if you interested in the 802d's email me. And we can talk "offline" Email is nbeadles@charter.net. Couldn't figure out a way to contact you directly in Audiogon. P59teitel: thanks for the link - I will read up on it. I still won't have c... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Jeff you are accurate on your description of the B&W's, but part of your response to the Revels may be a function of amplification and/or the room. In my room (and it's a big one with high cathedral ceilings) the Revels seemed to me to have a ... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 I'm planning on selling the 802 diamonds. I haven't sold anything yet. I tend to buy on Audiogon etc. and then hold 'em because I'm too lazy to pack stuff up and advertise. I'm sort of like a pawn shop that buys and never sells. The foam packing o... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Same price point? I have not heard them (of course this is a thread on B&W 802d's vs Revel Ultima Salon 2's).I doubt if I'd be able to get over the cabinet - I know my wife couldn't. She said that the 802's looked "alien." | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 OK I'm late in - I have had both in my home for awhile and I've tested them with my equipment in an A/B format (less than ideal room though). IMO the Revel's win the contest. Only downside for me is that I think I need to improve my amplification ... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 I have the 802 Diamond. No doubt about it - it is a great speaker. Part of the issue is taste in speakers, B&W is hard to beat for midrange and high's, but I think it is because I like the coloration of the speakers in those ranges. Let me re-... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 PS. I'd echo much of what Irvrobinson wrote in his post on 1/7/11. As an aside: My room is quite large with lots of glass and the current setup is less than ideal with both speakers. I think any speaker with an ideal room setup for that speaker ca... |
