| Musical Fidelity A5 CD-Player Powercord proposal Mr Tennis, for the record, in your remarks "...neither had a warm presentation" are your impressions based on your peculiar requirements of a very rolled off upper mid range and highs (as you have in previous post indicated that you prefer) or is ... | |
| Amp with a hard,clean and cold sound... Find a good used Threshold S500. Great SS amp with tons of muscle and fine tone. Better yet, a much harder find, but a much better amp and still competitive with some of the best available today (IMHO) is the Threshold SA I mono's.Now for real wor... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective Restock, Not really, a stereo system is meant to replicate recorded music. It produces sound. The music is in the recorded performance. I can hear the 'music' in a poor system or a very advanced system, even if the output from the speaker is rolle... | |
| how would an entry-level tube system compare? FWIW, I happen to agree with two other posters who suggest that the type of music you listen to and the manner in which you listen to it probably dictates that you would be happier with a good high current SS amp than a medium powered tube amp. Th... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective I'd vote for 'tubelike' in ads and 'musical' in general comments. Both are misleading at best and far to vague for usefulness. | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Macrojack, FWIW, as I have no experience with Zu's, what Zu is offering is probably an excellent solution to providing really deep bass in a meaningful way. A parametric equalizer will go a long way towards solving speaker and room integration. Ho... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Muralman1, I can't dispute what you've heard. Certainly I've not duplicated your experience. FWIW, and not a real comparison, but I'm sure you've heard a stereo system playing 'upstairs'. For those of us who have lived in flats or apartments/condo... | |
| Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube What 6moons review on the Canary CD100? They had it in previews for some time then it dropped off w/out a review. Next thing I see is one for sale by a Canary dealer as a "demo" for $1400 and I did a little fanciful reading between the lines. | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Muralman1, I agree, and then some. The real thing is the only thing! No audio system will ever come close, not by a great margin, to ever reproducing the dynamics and power of a grand piano. Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been listening to mu... | |
| Tyler PD80 power cables I can't imagine how a very short length of cable will make a difference over what has been selected by Tyler. They don't skimp on parts cost in thier speakers so I imagine Tyler doesn't think so either, but why not give him a call. You are probabl... | |
| Review: Prima Luna Prologue Two Tube amp Larinawong, After much experimentation I ended up using SED (the original and best Svetlana tubes with a 'flying C' logo) and the small tubes are the new EH tubes which I believe are the tubes now supplied by the manufacturer who uses their own lo... | |
| New Tubes- Need Burn-In? Don't know about a Cayin - probably depends on the sound you are after. You will likely hear a fuller and warmer sound with the KT88's and a more linear sound with the 6550's. I'm running KT88's with EH drivers in one amp and 6550's and EI drivers... | |
| New Tubes- Need Burn-In? You must differentiate between SED's and Svetlana's. Present day Svetlana's are nothing more than Sovteks in disguise. The really good Svetlana tubes are now called SED and they are made in St Petersburg. The logo on the tube is a 'flying C'. The ... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Stereophile ranks (in thier component recommendtions) speakers as full range if they are relatively flat from 20hz to 20khz. They have a second category for those that do not which includes speakers which have a 30hz to 20hz response. At least the... | |
| I've all the gears. Whatelse do I need? Chulheekim, It is difficult to tell from your post exactly the kind of help you are looking for. You've got some good stuff and should be able to get some very good 'sounds' from it. Are you still in need of equipment? If so what kind?Assuming you... |
