| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? I sure like mine in the summer TIME and doing bass duty ALL the time. Dropped my temp and PG&E trying to stay cool and listen to music when it's 110 degrees outside. I'm crawlin' into the bunker just to cool off. The older I get the LESS I lik... | |
| Dolby Atmos - is it for Audiophiles? A great example of how "sound effects", EFFECT US..Nothing more.. You'll get a belly full pretty quick BECAUSE of the inconsistency alone. One is great the next is bad.. Heck I use a stereo for everything. I've never used surround. Only 3 channel ... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... teoaudio and taras22 or whatever the fuck you call yourself....you guys are both fucking crooks. Fake science in audio is not cool. The elements don’t lie...but you two fuckwads have no problem lying to the globe about your fake audio physics &... | |
| Woodsong Garrard 301, Artisan Fidelity 301, Shindo 301, SME 301, or etc.? Look at Thoren the NEW DD TD124. Its a direct drive, what's that all about?The old rim drives are tough to beat. Just like the old Belt/rim are (TD124s) BUT they both ride on a ball.. that is a problem.. It's not one that bothers ME but they do ma... | |
| Solid State pre amp / tube amp Yea they do it all the time. A little passive SS pre or even a well built active and a good valve amp. HEAVEN!! I have a MX120 that is actually a stereo preamp with a MAC surround system ADDED. Two separate systems, with common outputs.With any of... | |
| Tube buffer in tape loop@ Yup I agree with that on all the way.. George is right.. If you like the tube sound get a tube amp. ADD another 1500.00 or so and you can swap, biamp or just go SS. That would be the better rout.More "tinker-ability", YES IT IS A WORD.. I just mad... | |
| If you own quality monitor speakers you want to read this new review Well, their speakers seem to have some very positive reviews. They are very attractive to boot.But I’m not totally understanding why that sub would be superior to a couple of carefully set up conventional subs.I would love to compare and listen fo... | |
| Tube buffer in tape loop@ 6SN7 valves can be extremely noisy. BUT they say there is no more than .1 distortion from 10hz to 100khz.Placement would be important for noise too. It is point to point..You are all SS. That is usually the way the amp is voiced, it is SS. Silver ... | |
| If you own quality monitor speakers you want to read this new review I’ve been using MB columns (active band pass 80-300hz) for 10+ years and GR servo bass (60-80hz and down) for 3 years. You call them Band pass, we called them Bass Bins. I had a pair of 500 lb 20 cf tri-pole Bins.They were made for a dance floor. ... | |
| Can the Same Brand Power Tubes Have a Different Sound When Bought From Different Vendors? In all the years of buying valves. I’ve been had twice. I know I’ve bought, traded and pulled 5000 valves if I’ve done ONE. A pair of RCAs twice.12AX7s and 12AU7 (?). Same guy too. After he knew I would CHECK his work, we never had an issue again,... | |
| Can the Same Brand Power Tubes Have a Different Sound When Bought From Different Vendors? The thing OP "BETTER" has to be defined by you.If YOU think about what you want in a valve and can put that into words that the vendor understands, you're going to be miles ahead of. "Give me the best" or "What is the best"?Usually valves are know... | |
| single driver speakers Strunz & Farah "Rainmaker" is one of my test tracks.. If a speaker system can get by that track and sound GREAT.. I'm all for it..RMx Elixirs or RM30, MY MB columns and GRs OB servo system..I've heard better but 10X my price range and 10X the ... | |
| single driver speakers It’s been around for a long time, The point is it will NEVER catch on.For those that think a single driver can do it all, good for you. It can’t.OLD hat, old tec.. 300hz and below a round VC speaker with tuned phase plugs.300 hz and up Small Plana... | |
| Question about tubes OP 300.00 for a quad of JJ 6922s is WAY over priced. Good Lord..That is just about the most middle of the road valve on the planet. BUT to JJ defense they are checked pretty well and seldom fail out of the box..https://www.ebay.com/itm/12285879422... | |
