| Primaluna opinions wanted The Primaluna is a giant killer; I am referring to ARC. With NOS RCA 12au7 and 12ax7 Plus a matched quad of Tung Sol EL34 and the Prima Luna 6 is a giant killer. | |
| Recaping Audiolab 8000Ms If my 8000C is any indication, Audiolabs are bulletproof; it's the only Pre I have not recaped. | |
| Reel to Reel decks Petepappp, I just got some new Rhino CD's of some old recordings; these are recordings I heard in the 50's. They have never sounded this good; it's like I can walk among the musicians. This has to do with the recording process, and nothing to do w... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Audiofiel,T-vad, onhway61, malfan; my speakers are custom built 3 way. The crossover was designed by an eccentric engineer who did nothing else. It utilizes Solen Metallized polypropylene capacitors for the woofer, and Jantzen Superior Series Z-ca... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. It's nice to be among geniouses (is that the proper plural for more than one genious). I know that P = E x I, and several other formulas for "watts". But what I don't know is how to substitute "tube watts" for "SS watts"; and I would appreciate it... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Hack, it's amazing that you should mention the BAT VK 500. That's the amp I want to audition and compare to a tube amp. | |
| 6922 tube recommendations I put some expensive NOS 6922 in my pre, and I was not overwhelmed. I have used NOS 12au7 tubes and was awed in another pre. Maybe 6922 NOS tubes don't make as much difference as 12au7 tubes. MY point is, I would not spend money on expensive NOS 6... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. I'm with you Bojack, it's just that not everyone appreciates my sense of humor. | |
| Reel to Reel decks I suppose if I threw in, "Maxell XLII, Position "EE" tape into this equation, that would realy "discombobulate" some minds. With this tape, the soundstage is so "holographic", that you feel as though you can walk among the musicians. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. I forgot, this is "Audiogon", not "Musiogon". Those of us who can appreciate the subtle "nuances" that only a tube amp can deliver; must contend with those who can not. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Mlsstl, you may have given me "my" right answer. An amp for 5K puts out 250wpc. With a tube amp it's not a matter of getting 250 wpc, but how many WPC can I get for 5K. Of course both amps must deliver the sound quality that we demand. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Audiofeil, Tvad, every moron who ever read a book knows about the speaker variable. You could have kept that. Others seem to know the question I am asking. Why don't you? | |
| Vintage Gil-Scott Heron recommendations..... Eddaytona, when you look into the soul of someone who expected a much better and more positive world than the one in which we live; you can understand why they smoke crack. Real fact, not an excuse. | |
| Vintage Gil-Scott Heron recommendations..... I assume you have, "Pieces Of A Man", RCA CD 66627-2, which includes, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". | |
| CD vs. Vinyl Rudy Van Gelder said "Linear digital has no attributes, it's just a medium for storage. Digital is cold, has to do with writings in consumer magazines. They got to write about something" |
