| Vintage Amps - Pleasantly surprised One of the most important aspects of tube gear is the transformers used. Simply put, vintage transformers are awesome and some of my favorite tube amps I have are Pilot amps (I have three different Pilots) using EL84 output tubes giving me about 1... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? Pryso, the Bel Canto SET40 is exactly the amp that I am using with my Dunlavy SCIV's. It does an excellent job of reproducing the lowest octaves of an acoustic double bass and the wallop of kettle and bass drums in a symphony. For me, that is all ... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? Hello Meadowman,I have found that even though the SCIV's are a relatively low impedence speaker, that because their impedence is very flat and not all over the map that they present a pretty easy load for amplifiers. The key is to use an amplifier... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? I also have a pair of the Dunlavy SCIV improved, but not IVA's. I have had these for many years and they are still my favorite speakers of all time. They do more things right and seem to be so even balanced. They are extremely revealing, so you ca... | |
| Gold Lion reissue 12ax7 vs. Mullard reissue 12ax7 Hello Lloydc,Thank you for you response, as these are some of the types of things I was looking to hear about. Hello Tpreaves,I agree that the only way to know for sure how these tubes will work out is to try them all for yourself. I understand th... | |
| Gold Lion reissue 12ax7 vs. Mullard reissue 12ax7 I would also be interested in hearing any comments in how the Shuguang PSVANE 12AX7-T would compare to the Gold Lion reissues and/or Mullard reissues.Thank you for sharing your thoughts. | |
| Bach: Six Suites Unaccompanied For Cello Hello Macallan25Here is a link to my recommendation above for the Daniil Shafran. It truly is a spectacular performance and excellent recording quality as well. At the price, it is well worth you trying. http://www.amazon.com/Bach-Suite-Cello-Nos-... | |
| Bach: Six Suites Unaccompanied For Cello Daniil Shafran performing "Bach Suites for Solo Cello" on Yedang Classics. This is truly some of the best solo cello playing I've ever heard and the recording quality is top notch. It is "raw", "intense", and the "presence" is unbelieveable! Try t... | |
| Recommendation for Schubert Piano Trios Op 100 Which would you say has the better sound quality between the Storioni and the Beaux Arts Trio when just comparing the redbook layer....not SACD? I'm using a Naim CDS2/xps and it does not play SACD or upsample, so I'm looking for the best sound for... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Naim CDS2/XPS power supply/Super Burndy. This player has none of the digital nasties, gives nice weight to the instruments, is full sounding as well as dynamic and plays effortlessly...meaning it doesn't seem strained or forced. It really gets the... | |
| New PX300B from Genelex Gold Lion I think the sound of any 300B tube will be more dependant upon the amplifier circuit and the tubes driving it than anything else.With that being said, I had a brief audition of a Don Allen 300B stereo amplifier. We first listened to it with TJ Mes... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? Hi Pubul57,That is good to know about the Spelts autoformers. I did not think of that. Thank you. | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? Hello Nilthepill,I am jealous. I have heard and lusted over the sig V's for many years. As much as I love the IV's the V's are so much better providing you have an accomodation music room for them. Unfortunately, I didn't think I had a large enoug... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? Hello Pubul57,I've never heard the Atma-spheres with the Dunlavys. I might be wrong, but I always thought the Atma-sphere amps liked to see high impedance loads, something that the Dunlavys certainly are not. Ralph would be able to answer that muc... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? The Dunlavy SCIV have a very benign electrical load and phase angles thus making life very easy for amplifiers. As long as the amplifier is of a quality design, both big wattage solid state amps as well as lowish powered tube amps will work well.S... |
