| Tubes... what do they do?... 11-16-06: Cdwallace what testing results or guidelines do you use or suggest one should use to determine the difference between a good tube amp and bad tube amp?Use the most complex and most accurate audio evaluation devices known to man - your ... | |
| Tubes... what do they do?... Some strange comments here. Vacuum tubes are amplification devices, and tubes like the 243 or 300B are the most linear open loop amplification devices known to man. The proof of this is that you actually get vacuum tube power amplifiers that do no... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? as we have already discussed my two-channel system is at least equal to your system. Sure Eddie. Pray tell the good folks on the board just what system do I have that your two channel can match? Of course you know what system I have, as you woul... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? every time you play a song, it puts wear on the record which affects the sound qualityTrue in theory I guess, but I have LPs that have been played thousands of times and they sound as good as ever - zero indication of any wear whatsoever. I hav... | |
| Thinking of modding my 834p, or should I move on? Disagree with Greg and Audiopheil.There is nothing wrong with the Ear except that it has parts that one would expect with Best Buy gear.

| 6ohm speakers to 8ohm amp? Use the 4 ohm tap. The 6 ohm speaker rating is a nominal number, which means it will drop below that somewhere in the frequency range. Your amp has an easier time running against a higher impedance, and using the 4 ohm tap will make it see the spe... | |
| Modding NAD system: adding IEC & power cord ? I made changes you refer to on an Onkyo DVD player, and it made a huge difference. | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? "Unfortunately, according to this thread and many of its analog contributors, its a matter of opinion"How bizarre. It is unfortunate that folk's appreciation for music is subjective? Clearly you want us to like digital, but sadly I don't. I sincer... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Nor directed at your record play[i]ng types.Clearly you carry some resentment to folks who listen to vinyl LPs. I can only surmise your resentment extends to everybody that do not embrace your obviously-flawed theories on sound reproduction, wh... | |
