| 12 Extremely Disappointing Facts About Popular Mus I think it says AT LEAST as much about the world population explosion as it does about popular culture. When most of the artists being compared to were at their most active (60's and 70's) the world pop was around 4B. Now it's more than twice that... | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super FWIW, nobody really NEEDS a matched quad ;--) Push-pull amps (the most common) work in matched pairs. However, if your amp takes four of something, or eight of something, then there are certain economic and operational advantages to buying FIVE ma... | |
| Interconnect between h-phone amp and integrated My experience (if you can do it that way) is to keep the headphone amp near your integrated, and then use a longer high quality headphone (extension) cord for your phones. | |
| How do I know when to replace Melos SHA - 1 Tubes Casouza, I guess they're easier to find than I thought. But do I want to spend $300!http://www.ebay.com/itm/7308-6922-6DJ8-AMPEREX-MATCHED-PAIR-AUDIO-TUBES-USN-GOLD-PINS-/380378537392?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item589053ddb0. | |
| How do you test different tubes? Elizabeth and others who feel the same are wrong -- placing opinion in front of any real experience. I started out like most without any knowledge or even a tube tester. But you can learn a lot without getting burned if you are willing to put in t... | |
| How do I know when to replace Melos SHA - 1 Tubes Casouza, thanks for the tip on those Amperex/Philips tubes! Probably impossible to find, right? | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super Clio, all I can say is it might be instructive for you to talk with other VAC owners who have tried other tubes in their amps ;--). | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super Shuguang makes the following KT88 tubes:KT88-Z (Black Treasure)KT88-98KT88-SC (Penta)BTW, the 'SC' is the only KT88 tube currently made (by anybody!) that is an EXACT replica of the original M.O.V. (Marconi Osram Valve) Company later known as GEC ... | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super IMO, the Shuggie Black Treasures (KT88-Z) trump everything but the EAT's and the NOS (vintage) Gold Lions. They are as good as the vintage GL's (per my own A-B) and may be as good as the EAT's. They definitely exhibit what I call 'high transconduc... | |
| How do I know when to replace Melos SHA - 1 Tubes Brad, four tubes?! I hope you're not serious . . . . or I've been swindled!~. | |
| How do I know when to replace Melos SHA - 1 Tubes It would be helpful if you said what tubes are currently in your Melos -- to give some idea of what you're hearing right now ;--)That said, any matching pair of Amperex or Siemens 6DJ8's that say "Made in Holland" and have four ridges in the glass... | |
| Do you use variable speed on your turntable? Cocoabaroque, I'm not sure I understand you clearly when you sayThis is a better method than a visual strobe representation of 33.3, in my opinion. If I DO understand you, you are saying to adjust the TT speed until an "A" on the recording matches... | |
| Importance of Power cords feeding Conditioners Ptm, my point was NOT that one can make decisions based strictly on objective (scientific) criteria. I don't know how you could have thought that from my comments. First of all, there are just too many choices out there even AFTER narrowing down t... | |
| Purist Audio, Venustas or Aqueous Think of the Venustas as a "Dominus Lite" ;--) It has the sonic character of the Dominus, just a tiny bit less. Or, if it makes you feel better, you can think of the Dominus as Venustas on steroids!My point is that the original "Ferox Trinity", Mu... | |
| Importance of Power cords feeding Conditioners Ptm, I strongly disagree with your statement "It's all about trial and error" or "all about synergies". It may be a LITTLE BIT about those things, but one can DRASTICALLY REDUCE the field by first taking into account the few immutable laws of phys... |
