| one last show Bernstein conducting the Berliner Phil playing Mahler's 9th Symphony as he did in his 1979 performance. Center seat, Row F, in the Orchestra Section. | |
| Tube amp down, need guidance from the experienced Small tubes can last 5000 or more hours. I replace mine when the sound becomes dull or noisy. I keep extras about so when I question the effects of age I simply substitute in a new tube(s) and see if there is a meaningful improvement. | |
| New tubes or new preamp? "Still not getting the sweet sound I prefer"..........If by 'sweet' you mean rolled highs or midrange warmth, I'd agree with Zd542. It is very hard to change the fundamental sound of speakers by changing amps etc. That said, however, IMHO the elec... | |
| Goodtube integrated Beware of Cayin - I have two Cayin A100T integratgeds which are down due to lack of parts for repair from distributor (VSA) or manufacturer. Over 4 months now. Distributor has made promises, repeatedly, but can neither repair nor furnish parts. Ho... | |
| How to remove harshness from my digital gear Think tubes either amp/pre-amp or integrated. That way you can tune your components to a sound which will be neither harsh nor bright (but not necessaruily out of the box with OEM tubes). I'd don't know about your speakers but I have two different... | |
| Rogers Studio 1 Monitor These are made by the same company that makes the famous Rogers LS3/5a monitor. I had a pair for quite some. They are have a fairly flat FR i.e. +/- 2db at 2 meters. They are neutral in tone, neither boomy nor bright if properly driven (high quali... | |
| Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration? Consider NOS 6h23's for replacement tubes for your unit. They are drop in replacements. They are very rugged and are fairly identical to Sovteks tone wise. Get them from a dealer who will test the tubes for noise (low) and microphonic's. I've used... | |
| Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration? Your cable routing could be causing a problem. Do some 'process of elimination' experiments to see if you can pin it down. If you have a noisy tube, it will sound more like white noise/hiss, not so much hum. A hum in only one channel is often caus... | |
| Sennheiser hd 650 vs hd700 If you don't already have one I'd suggest you think about getting a good amp for the 650's as opposed to buying the 700 without one. Might be a far greater improvement than just getting new phones. I got a tubed amp for my 650's and am quite happy. | |
| Kevin gets the I don't get it. Deal offers a good line of products and he stands behind what he sells. Bottom line, that all that really counts. You want warm and fuzzy, ego (yours) enhancing conversations from a merchant don't go there. You want product AND ser... | |
| Where is my problem ? Try switching the tubes from channel to channel on your pre-amp. It's possible one of the tubes is responsible for your problem. If after you switch the tubes your problem remains in the left channel at least you will know it is not the tubes in t... | |
| Ayon Orion 2 or Prima Luna Dialogue Premium Int.? Mikirob, good plan I think. We should all follow suit. Lets not support the jerks, life is too short for this nonsense. | |
| Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer? I'm one of those folks who can't identify with the use of the term 'neutral' as applied to live music, and as a result do not find it particularly useful in describing audio outside of the ideal (to some) of reproducing in your room exactly what w... | |
| Best overall Stravinski - Rites of Spring... I agree with Reprince re Colin Davis's Stravinsky, an easy recommendation. His vinyl records should be easy to find. It was very popular. Re MTT's Rites, if you can find his 1966 version with the SFO on vinyl pick it up.Now if you want to get your... | |
| Audio Research Vs115 Sorry Don, there are a lot of amps which will take out a resistor in the bias circuit when a power tube blows. ARC has a lot of company, including I suspect some of those you mentioned. But I agree it is a PITA especially when you aren't handy wit... |
