| What happened to Jfox Could we recreate this learning arena? I mean, with all these knowledgeable, friendly and helpful people still around? Many participants give a lot of help without getting much credit for it. People like Jafox, Albert, Ralph, Tvad, Charles and oth... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere I guess, with each combination of quality preamp between a top class phono stage and amps / speakers, what you hear resembles "editing". The preamp is a bit like the "editorial board". You fellow A-goners have told me how I can ease up a bit on th... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere So what is the pizza adress? Send a mail. | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Audiolab - too hot - jet engine - I know this feeling well having owned a Krell Fpb600 that operated in class A only at high volume. So in a sense music came alive only just before the neighbours knocked on my door. Ventilation: I use a Noctua NF-... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Hi Audiolab, for now I am just enjoying the system including the 12BH7A, listening to two new Rainbow boxes I've bought, Munchen 77 and Rockpalast 95 (even if its not always my style, Ritchie Blackmore's guitar is a joy). I associate the tube with... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 I have moved some steps further. I found a utility, fat32format.exe, that did the job – the usb-connected Seagate disk was now recognized by the Tascam. To be sure, I also did a Quick format on the Tascam. I am glad to report that disk size remain... | |
| Which Pre-Amp Pass Labs or Audio Research With some tube changes I like my recently bought Einstein The Tube mk2. Search and you will find the Audiogon thread. It may not be your cup of tea, but I mention it also since I saw it in the Audiogon ads, reasonably priced. | |
| Upgrade advice needed It may be that your primary problem is your source. A turntable is perhaps not on your horizon, but what about DSD or similar digital sound quality? I have a good turntable system, it blows digital out of the water, but DSD or other high level is ... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Jafox - sorry, I see now that you did try the 12bh7 in the Einstein. I guess it is fine, but I want to double check with them.Albertporter - power cable - yes, I have seen other users reporting this also. I will change from the stock cable, but it... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Two days ago I got the RCA 12BH7A black plates. Wow! Best so far. The sound stage is larger, more bass especially. This really engages the room, I can hear it from the next room (kitchen) too. Ive never heard Pink Floyd: Pulse (the LP box) this g... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Thanks Audiolabyrinth, I agree. Atmasphere, grateful for your warning note, I am checking with Einstein. Jafox noted earlier in the thread that the 12BH7 may work fine even if the specs are not quite right, but he does not say that he tried it in ... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Audiolabyrinth - CBS Hytron - I have not A/B tested much, but what I can say is, it stays, compared to the stock Jan Philips. Very enjoyable, although perhaps the one I got is a bit used, I dont know. My system now is very chameleon-like, the "sou... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Re tube matching in Einstein The tube mk2:Brent Jessee who sold the two Siemens tubes for the phono inputs, and the Telefunken 12au7, has mailed that these are really NOS and need to be broken in. Whereas the CBS Hytron I bought on Ebay has been u... | |
| Tubes and vibration - Atma-sphere MA-1 The frames looked a bit strange and did not yield any clear benefit, so now, like many of my tweaks, they are gone again. Oh well... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Thanks! |
