| CAL Delta Vs Theta Pearl Vs Wadia WT-2000 i have a cal alpha - it may be dated but its still excellent and cheap now on the used market. best of all you can change its tone by changing tubes. your present system sounds like it could be on the bright side - if that is a problem for you the... | |
| Can anyone tell me what happened? bryhifi, i have the jubilee/jems. i can't blame you for wanting them - but you can't have mine. i put my quad 63's in the attic. to me they like the contour 3.3 w/better bass and imaging capability. the impedence curve makes them ideal for tubes u... | |
| Can anyone tell me what happened? your not going to find out much on the internet other than a few owners comments. the speaker that first came to my attention was the jubilee. this is a two way monitor type with dynaudio speakers. lead lined cabinet. sealed cross over. bass shy b... | |
| Want to update 20 year old LP12/Grace-what arm? re the grace arm - it was a quality arm at the time and is probably as good today (unless its worn out or damaged). what is improtant is matching the mass of the arm to the compliance of the cartridge, i.e. high compliance cartridge = low mass arm... | |
| What time do you wear? the watch i enjoy wearing most is a large, clunky, sinn divers model. i can read the dial w/out glasses. very pratical - no WAF just like my stereo system - its sort of large and clunky too, but great sounds. | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks i'm way out west. i've thought about rowland, and most recently ayre, but i really am seduced by tubes so i have not invested the effort, let alone the bucks. i'm in the boonies and its very hard to audition new stuff anymore at home - i've come t... | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks dragont, my speakers came with spikes between the two speakers. i pulled these and am using blu tack - you can get this cheaply at the hardware store. works for me. i assume you run these without the grills - huge difference if you don't. re sales... | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks now i see where you're coming from. the jubilee tweater isn't the best. dynaudio has a better one that they use in their coincidence model - i hear the model 5 is excellent. the impedence curve suggests your choice of amp. also the verity parsifal... | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks why do you want to change out these speakers. if you want a different flavor sound play with your amps some more, or speaker cable. if you find the sound of the 350's somewhat dry as stereophile's review suggests could happen, you could use a diff... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 i own quad 63's and a speaker system based on dynaudio speakers (paragon - no longer made). the confidence 5's have a better tweeter than my system - mine goes lower. while i think the quads are a tad more transparent its not something i miss to m... | |
| My first Jazz cd i started collecting jazz about 5 years ago with oscar peterson's(piano)trio playing "we get requests". when i wanted to expand beyond peterson, i looked at who was playing in his group, ie. ray brown. they i tried ray brown, ad infinitum. i enjoy... | |
| Tube reliability in amps drjjpdc, you inquired about tube life - thats easy stuff. there are just too many varibles involved in answering your question re biasing of any particular tube absent a specific application and i am not a resource on the tube amp market.in my opi... | |
| Tube reliability in amps the life of a tube is like a tank of gas. there is a finite amount which is determined most greatly by how much you use it and how far the amp pushed its operating envelope in making the amp (read how much bias required - the more bias required, t... | |
| need amp advice from what i've heard, this speaker is amp sensitive, that is with some amps it will sound boomy/shrill etc. with others it will sound wonderful. matching the amp to the speaker it in my opinion critical. there is a lot of info in this forum and in... | |
| good tabletop radio if you can accept mono, try trivoli audio. its am/fm, very good reception and cost about $100. i purchased mine thru audio advisor. |
