| Hi Fi burnout. Yep it's the music that counts! And Muzikat is right on target. Hell, I just bought a new amp and a set of speakers to play with knowing that it would be difficult, if possible to improve on what I have in a meaningful way. But, I'm having fun, an... | |
| EL-34, KT-88, 6P3P: What's the Bloody Difference? Do some research on this in the Audio Asylum tube forum, and/or post this request there. You have a better chance of getting some good responses. IMHO the design of the amp is more important to the sound than the tube's designation. However KT88's... | |
| Speaker upgrade recommendations pleae. For a very revealing speaker that is also very neutral I would look at Silverline Sonata II's or their monitor the SR17 (but you would need a sub) and for a very detailed speaker with a very smooth and natural high end I would look at Tyler Acoust... | |
| Curious about the PrimaLuna Prologue One. I'm still playing with tubes - I'm using current production. I haven't settled on which I prefer yet. Today, I'm listening to Svet EL34's, EH 12AX7A's, and Tesla 12AU7's. The sound is very warm and rich, almost too warm and rich. The... | |
| Pros and Cons of using same brand IC- please When folks use IC's and cables to tune their systems using all the same type of Ic's andcable could be counter productive. If You are trying to change the tonal response of a CDP, for example, you might use IC "A" between the CDP and the pre-amp, ... | |
| Speaker upgrade recommendations pleae. You love the SF sound but you are looking around? Pitty your wife. :-)What exactly are you looking to improve in getting new speakers? Tonal differences - more bass - more dynamics = better imaging, etc? Oh, and whats your budget? | |
| Curious about the PrimaLuna I'm in the process of breaking in a PrimaLuna - so far I'm quite impressed. I've had it up and running for about 2 weeks. I'm using 4 ohm taps to drive 4 ohm speakers with a 92dba effiency. It has plenty of power for these speakers. There is no sh... | |
| ARS Tubes ARS is not a brand of tube. They are retailers in the LA area and they put their names on the tubes, but in my experience they make no effort to hide the original manufacturer. Take a closer look at the tube and you might find it on the side oppos... | |
| Speaker toe-in & stereo imaging This is a speaker specific question. A lot of dynamic speakers like to be fired straight ahead, listening to the tweeter on axis would be too hot (Theil speakers come to mind). Others like a mild toe in and, as you mention, some want to be heard o... | |
| two amps and one pair of speakers The only safe way to do this is to run seperate cables from your amps to the speakers using banana plugs and ONLY plugging in the cables from the amp you are using. That way you avoid the junction box and eliminate the eventuality of some day acci... | |
| For those interested in the PrimaLuna Prologue One Click Systems under my name - it is temporarily connected in place of my regular pre-amp and amp - and I've alternated my regular speakers with Tylers Linbrook Signature System that I recently acquired. | |
| For those interested in the PrimaLuna Prologue One Rene, The ARC/SF combo is more refined, powerful, detailed/focused, warmer in tone and IMHO musical, throughout the whole frequency range. A comparison is really unfair though. But for casual listening the PrimaLuna is a very nice integrated amp. ... | |
| Spoiled by multichannel???? If all I could listen to was music of SACD and DVD A I'd drop this as a hobby. For me, its the music not the medium! | |
| Tube Pre-Amp with Low Gain Joule Electra 100 or 150. However don't overlook using inline attenuators on a higher gain preamp (or source). | |
| Tyler Acoustics: Taylo Ref III vs. Linbrook Sig's Ttowntony, FWIW I've a pair of the Signature Systems (1 piece) in route. My room is of a similar size to yours and I am presently using dynamic speakers with about the same frequency response as the Linbrooks. Mine fire down the length of the room... |
