| cones or amp stand-??? Stehno, with all due respect, your post sounds like nothing less than a recitation of all of the advertising and promotion by Starsound for their products. When it can be demonstrated that any vibrations that will drain from an amp thru any kind o... | |
| Butler amps? Pal, I see you're getting some Starsound speakers. Before I started to consider getting a tube amp I think I'd inquire about the speakers efficiency, its nominal impedence, and its minimum impedence all of which are very important in selecting a g... | |
| cones or amp stand-??? I don't know whether you have tube amps or SS but I can think of no real benefit of coupling any amp to a concrete floor, nor do I see any downside from doing so. BUT, I would get the amp off the carpet to increase air circulation, using any kind ... | |
| Tube rolling on PrimaLuna P2 Plinko, Short version - I ended up using some NOS short grey plate EI's I had on hand in combination with some Svetlana's of which I have a "lifetime supply" (so it seems). Very full and dynamic yet retaining smoothness and clean clear mids and hi... | |
| Microphonic Amps? Well, you'll get no answer to your question that everyone will agree on. For small tubes in my amps I have found it easiest, and most effective, to buy tested low noise tubes in the first place on which I place those inexpensive rubber damping rin... | |
| Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality I totally agree with Tvad and Warren. IMHO PC should not change the tonal balance of your components, nor should IC's or speaker cable. If they do its because they are not neutral (tonally) and are actually degrading the signal. They may superfici... | |
| What's The Best Blooming Tube Amp? You want rich, warm, lots of bloom, good bass? Try the Primaluna Prologue 1 or 2. Tonally it's a delight - very easy to listen to and at a great price. Lots of tube magic as you call it and very responsive to tube rolling. It ain't perfect by some... | |
| Tube rolling on PrimaLuna P2 Not exactly on point but....I have the Prologue One and have played with tube rolling for three months. The bottom line....the stock tubes were excellent and the replacement tubes I ended up using were not that much better sonically than the origi... | |
| preamp inputs labels Agree with Swampwalker except a few pre-amps have an imput which is designed to alter the digital signal and should not be used for a different component. These pre-amps are rare - but I believe Bob Carvers had one, and perhaps there are a few oth... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? I have never heard these speakers nor have I read a thorough review by a competent independent reviewer. The only concern I would have to satisfy before I would consider a purchase is their claimed ability to deliver full bass (at realistic listen... | |
| recommended redbook classics Gammejo, before making any more recommendtations, a rhetorical question. As opposed to spending more money buying a better(?) recorded performance of the stuff with which you are familiar, why not explore other music by your already favorite compo... | |
| recommended redbook classics I started a lengthy response of my favorite performances ala Gregm - but I find I have a really hard time remembering the quality of the sonics which I infer from your post is extremely important to you. I have boiled down my recommendations to th... | |
| noise ..noise..noise.. FWIW TWL and Gmood1's comments seem to be nearly on point....However I cannot tell exactly what you is doing with this integrated unit when you say "I try using it as a direct amp.....try it as an int amp"..... Could you elaborate for me. Are you ... | |
| Tyler Acoustics Linbrook system II FWIW I have the Linbrook Signature System (one piece version). I can drive it with any of my PP tube amps, including a 35wt amp. The speaker's sound reflects the quality of the amp driving it, but even the 35wt amp does an excellent job considerin... | |
| Need help from Pass X-600 + ARC Ref 2 MK1 user The in-line attenuator that I was referring to is made by Rothwell. It is, in essesence, a resisor that is placed within an adaptor that you plug into your amp and then plug your I/C into it. You can buy these on line. They reduce the pre-amp outp... |
