| Best speakers around $130k? Discussion of speaker must include the entire set up But that could be boasting. $100m = $100 million? Wrong thread, dude. | |
| Like Pronouns do we have to many music genres? Is Adele a pronoun for a genre too difficult to describe in polite company? | |
| flabbergasted with reviews on speakers Not to confuse matters, sensitivity may be measured using dB (1W/1M), dB(2.83V/1M) (and for the really lazy, just dB, move right along if you see that). They are different. I understand that there is about a 3 dB difference between the watt and t... | |
| Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad Oh, there are outfits like Grant Fidelity that are dealers. I dunno, perhaps others. I still think its outrageously disingenuous for the manufacturer to use the CV181 name. Its an identity which contains important information. Its inaccurate and... | |
| Opinions & experiences with tube coolers I wouldn’t attempt to cool tubes, not even a fan. They are quite happy little munchkins just sittin there being hot. What is the "good sense" to cooling them? Don’t. Anything else may re-distribute the heat unevenly.’ Those rings I’ve sometimes s... | |
| Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad Who's the most trusted vendor to buy from? A prudent question. I'm currently looking on eBay, although AliExpress is a good alternative if paypal is available. All from China, I can't see that there is any organised distribution/dealer netwo... | |
| Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad @invalid Thankyou for those specs, I am sufficiently comforted and will indeed buy at least a pair or two in the new year. My amp has good space - I can even fit those round globe ones you may or may not have seen - they are kinda cute, but poss... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers Is the car market so friendly as has been mentioned a couple times? You are blessed in America. A couple hour transaction? Wow. In the country where I live things are/were very tight. Quite often there were simply no second hand vehicles ava... | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. Rather than how long does one wait to chuck stuff out, a more interesting question for me is how long does one wait to release/buy new (not necessarily better, could be just another version, perhaps worse) technology. They are two completely diff... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers a month of endless emails and conversations With three dealers and still nothing, despite this back and forth emails and conversations. This is how you know about the shipping charges, pick up charges and them being reticent to set up. My adv... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? @jdoris Exotic veneer or high end automotive finish is obviously bling. But does finish account for a high percentage of costs on luxury speakers? I dunno. 10 v. 2 bucks per sf. of veneer doesn’t add up to much. A lot of stuff that kinda feels ... | |
| Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad Surely someone here who has bought the Shung CV181z can obtain a spec sheet from the manufacturer to confirm or refute the reviewers words? This would clear up any issues and I’d be happy to shut up and buy some should they be 600mA. Easy. If no... | |
| Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad @invalid You must have read my post wrong, I acknowledged that the nos mullard’s are not drop in replacements, but the shuguang CV 181’s are, as they are not the same as the Mullard cv181’s. I have no idea why shuguang labeled them this way. OK... | |
| Looking for suggestions on speakers and an integrated amp for a second system. My main concern is sounding full at low volume level. Out of favour in amplifiers for quite some years, but when understood correctly a "loudness" feature is useful for fullness at low volume. Vintage rocks! It shouldn't be used at volumes ot... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? @hilde45 I'm open to hearing your own objective criteria by what you mean by bling. Its simply not fair to ask a question and not be clear about exactly what you are asking. |
