| Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone? +2. FWIW it seems to not be so much of a problem if the pointer arrow is at a lower position when clicking it. | |
| Another soundstage question Kalali, FWIW, and it has already been touched upon, often much of what folks are willing to accept as 'height' is a result of the design of the speakers which might have no relationship to reproducing what is actually on the disc. For example, pla... | |
| Another soundstage question Kalali, I just re-read your OP. If there is anything that really sticks out re speaker set up that I think might influence the height issue for you, is the distance your speakers are from the wall/bay behind them. I really don't know your rooms di... | |
| Another soundstage question IME soundstage height is enhanced with equipment which has good HF resolution (the low level detail needed is often lost is lesser equipment) but a lot of speakers don't really open up, soundstage wise, at lower volume. I had this experience with... | |
| Will preamp manufacturers tell you if the model is phase inverse? FWIW, generally speaking, I've noted that most tubed preamps with only one tube per channel invert phase. | |
| Is this my imagination? It is entirely possible that this table could have some affect on your soundstage (and tonal balance as well). It will change, to some small degree, the sound radiating off the back wall.I have a bigger console between my speakers and even the di... | |
| LONG Speaker Cables- What Have You Tried That Doesn't Break the Bank? Belden 1500 series 10 ga from Blue Jeans is an outstanding economy cable for long runs. About $1 foot. FWIW I use it . | |
| Lamm LL2 Deluxe.... Maybe i bit high,but really it all depends on what others are willing to pay at any given time. I could have bought one 10 years ago for about 2500 and have been surprised that they haven't drifted down some since them.Why I didn't buy then: 1) O... | |
| I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud Take your payment via postal money order. Thieves avoid using these as the gov't takes fraud seriously. Or take personal checks but wait until they cleared the purchaser's bank. Many of the complaints revolve around the recourse that buyers have w... | |
| General Initial Impressions--Genalex Gold Lion KT88 Reissue Jond, Unfortunately not. When I have more funds and a shorter supply of tubes I want to give GL's a try.Samzx12, Are you implying that the EH KT88 is a replacement, in fact, for the Sovtek, i.e. identical in all respects, just a different label? F... | |
| General Initial Impressions--Genalex Gold Lion KT88 Reissue I agree with your assessment of the Sovtek KT88's. While they have been discontinued they are still available on line. I've been using them for about 20 years quite happily, although I'd be careful using them in amps which pushed the tubes too har... | |
| Threshold S500/II vs Mark Levinson ML3 Always best to listen to an amp/speaker combo before making a decision, but you knew that. I like the old Threshold products (especially the SA series). I would not consider moving to a ML amp (except the old ML 2) anything but a lateral move. But... | |
| What signal tubes to use when rollin on a Primaluna Pre Power setup? For a cheap, if not final, choice you might try some new production Mullard 12AX7's. I found that using them in my Primaluna's help solve some of the issues in the mids and highs. FWIW I read comments about the 120's which suggested to me that you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, for your considertion in case you haven't already heard this, a duo by Dave McKenna and Buddy DeFranco doing some 'swing', titled "You Must Believe in Swing" on the Concord Jazz label. Bill Evans is probably turning over in his grave at t... | |
| Which preamp tubes in my amp make the most difference when rolling? Power tube selection, types and brands, make a big difference in sound, especially the types, i.e. KT88 vs LL34 and all varients.. For the small tubes the tubes that make the biggest difference is the center two tubes. But it all depends on what ... |
