| Symphony 5th - best recording Ojgalli, And if he only partially disagrees he might find Harnoncourt's set to be a refreshing alternative to either VK or Bernstein. But, if he wants period instruments and performance I think you're right on. FWIW, for those looking for a comple... | |
| Best audio cabinet for people with pets Bob, If you're going to buy scratching posts get the ones that have siesel(Sp?)rope wrapped around the post. 2 1/2 to 3 ft tall. If you have one that is just carpet covered pick up some rope at Home Depot and wrap it. If you haven't already done s... | |
| Best audio cabinet for people with pets If you have house cats and no dogs, trim the nails on the cats front feet. If you don't know how ask your vet. Its quick and easy. Done every couple of weeks will minimize not only the scratching activity but the damage sharp nails can inflict.Don... | |
| Symphony 5th - best recording Now that we know for sure, I'm going to second Rustons recommendation. FWIW the performance is so outstanding that if you like this symphony you won't care about whether its the best 'audio' version. It is propulsive, grabs your in those first not... | |
| Symphony 5th - best recording Ruston, LOL! Beethoven, no less! I want to clone that program and the kid as well. Imagine a program using music of that calibre for 3 year olds AND having a kid that hears it, can ID it, and ask for a CD of it! I approve!!!!!! :-) | |
| linbrook signature owners You might check the archives and the posted systems of other members who have Tylers and find someone who has the speakers you mention and I assume are familar with. These have been discussed thoroughly and often.If I knew what etc included, and I... | |
| Tube-rolling...PrimaLuna ProLogue Three If you could fantasize an improvement what would you want to change by getting a different tube? If you don't have an answer, save yourself the time and money you will chase after new tube recommendations. All tubes will effect to some degree or a... | |
| Side or back wall more important for speakers? Try pulling your speakers out into the room as much as your bass frequencies allow (front wall reinforcement plays a big part of selecting this distance) and the place your speakers up to with in 18 inches of the wall with them toes in so that the... | |
| Need some help What have you done to kill the 1st reflections bouncing off the wall on the sides of the speakers? Have you played with toe in, starting with the axis straight ahead and also for comparison with the axis crossed well in front of you. If you don't ... | |
| How tubes influence sound Yes to all your questions. Tone is a biggy, upperfrequency emphasis can enlarge in width and depth the sound stage, and lower frequency emphasis can increase sense of warmth. Tubes can have a soft or rolled highs which might help reduce over-all s... | |
| Most Quiet TUBE Preamp. Linestage. $ 12K or less Joefama, Most everything, especially tube products, has some floor noise and whether you hear it or not depends on 1)speaker efficiency, 2)amp input sensitivity, and 3)pre-amp output gain, and pretty much in that order. I am unaware of any tube pr... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help Thanks Boa2, In self defense, for the anal folks like me, I feel it necessary to editoralize on the issue of input sensitivity numbers and their actual meaning in practice. :-)While the input sensitivity number is lower it means that the amp can b... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help Tbooze, FWIW I have read about Pass amps and pre-amps. As a prior owner of one of his Threshold SA amps, one of the finest SS amps I've heard and owned BTW. Several folks thought that Pass amps and Pre-amps sounded best in combo. It may just be th... | |
| Cayin A88T break in and biasing?? BTW, My comments were based upon owners reading of the manufacturer's actual manual on your amp, not on the statements by dealers that they were auto-biasing. To clear up any conflict between two opposing posts I would suggest you obtain and read ... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help FWIW, the problem you are describing is not unusual for many tube pre-amps. They are only part of the problem. The real problem is the input sensitivity on your amp is too high. What is really nice is to have an pre-amp, like several of the ARC un... |
