| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Inna, in the "real" world, this is what I'm looking into. While I want the best "tube" pre amp I can possibly swing, I know that a really good solid state amp will give you a lot of the tube thing, when you have a killer tube pre amp. This Vin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is ultimate "Be-Bop", in the same class with the best of "Bird"; now that's saying a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWqQf05dMJ8Enjoy the music. | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? Inna, I'll go with VAC anyway my bankroll will allow; it's most certainly my favorite. | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? Inna, or anyone else who has auditioned a number of phono amps; could you explain the improvement over whatever cartridge is on the input. As I explained, I get out, what I put in; others have implied they get out something better than what the c... | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? My vinyl goes to a solid state phono, and from there to a computer interface, and then to the computer.My "Geek" took care of the computer interface, and the computer card that down loads it into the computer.A great advantage of doing things this... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Inna, in regard to low frequencies, we're talking about feeling as much as hearing; that means moving a lot of air, which is a bad thing for apartment living. I think what you have is the best for your situation. Another 8 inch speaker might be m... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Inna, I just compared a 6 inch woofer on a two way, to headphones, to 12 inch woofer in the listening room. Bass is bass; naturally the 6 inch woofer on the two way in the bed room came up short, but so are the quality of the electronics. The he... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Inna, here's a link that will bring the reality of what is being discussed into the light of day; we are not discussing "frequency" in an absolute sense, but music which incorporates a multitude of frequencies that bring a multitude of harmonics i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, here's the "Wikipedia" link on Stacey Kent; it makes for an easy reference in regard to her "Discopgraphy" and almost every thing else of importance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacey_KentEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Stacey Kent is married to British tenor saxophonist Jim Tomlinson. Apparently her and Mr. Jim Tomlinson have been making beautiful music on and off the set. I'm going to follow through on her discography.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, glad you liked it; she really makes a song come to life, and the music blends in so perfectly, I could listen to her all night.I'm listening to "Isn't This A Lovely Day", and I can hear what I just stated above. It's for sure I'm going to ... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV12 AL Erik, you seem to be quite an expert on these modifications. Right now I'm looking at a schematic of the PV-12; I've already replaced the electrolytic capacitors with Black Gates, when they were still selling them. Which capacitors do you sugges... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I discovered Stacey Kent quite by accident, and was totally captivated by her, the song, and the music. The song was "Close Your Eyes", and when I heard the words, I wanted to close my eyes, while leaning on Stacey Kent's shoulder. That's when yo... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Inna, it takes a smart man to know when to hold and when to fold. Since Vifa makes some of the best drivers, they're probably good just as they are. The most important thing is to,Enjoy the music. |
