| Memorial Day "Try not to be so impulsive. Edit, re-edit and do what I do when it seems to be too strong a retort: delete it.Nonoise - I need to burn that in wood and hang it on my wall...Thanks. | |
| Memorial Day Notec, In a way, you might have paid the greatest tribute to those who have served... by simply demonstrating exactly that which so many of our bravest have died for - the right to be, speak and write like an ass. Theres a time and a place, and t... | |
| Memorial Day "We The People This country began with those three words; and that will always be something worth fighting for. I can find no words to express my gratitude to those who have sacrificed so much in defense of those three words.http://www.youtube.co... | |
| Donna Summer, rip Disco - Donnas one of the very few that made it fun. RIP Donna. | |
| What sonic gains from 300B tube push-pull config. Andy 2, I dont think I can add anything new to the many excellent threads discussing the trade-offs between SET and push-pull designs; and Im confident that an archive search will provide you with a plethora of information.Tube preference is a s... | |
| Are Carver Preamps Any Good? Mapman, Polk432,My opinion was poorly expressed. Talking about audiophile world components sounds much too snooty and I didnt mean to come off that way. Given my current set-up, the Carver components that Ive heard leave something to be desire... | |
| Are Carver Preamps Any Good? They have their place in the world - but not the audiophile world, IMO. Carver offers reliable, attractive components if you dont ask them to be the star of the show. By that, I mean that youre not expecting them to enthrall you with passionate ... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Well, I still have my Jm Lab Mini Utopias, that must count for something. But just like a happily married man, I might stop searching, but Ill probably never stop looking :-) | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne At the time I was frustrated, but Im happy as hell now, that my purchase inquiry went unanswered... Whew! | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR The posts on Jack Elliano intrigued me enough to look at his website where I came across his thoughts on tube rolling (link below). Although it relates specifically to his amplifier, I think it underscores the advise given by Charles1dad and other... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR "Any opininons appreciated.Since you put it that way, Ill give you my two cents worth. Unlike Charles1dad, I cant make tube comparisons, but Id like to comment on your concerns about the Royal Princess's. While I dont have your same amplifier... | |
| I have a buzz "I had a buzz last evening.I have to confess Bill, I had the same thought when I was browsing thread titles. It was like - "Whoa! This will be different, maybe I should go look for my lava lamp"... you know, just to get into the spirit of it. | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie I agree with Tpreaves about Alligator Records, and highly recommend their Anniversary Collections with various artists. Theyre available on Amazon - a lot of great classic Blues for very little money. | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend I am so saddened by this news. Between his posts and some emails, I developed a deep respect for Paul and I liked him a lot. This is terrible - for us I mean - Paul's in a better place. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Please ex... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Maxmad, JWM,I agree that 800 hours is a long time but, just to reiterate, in the more typical SET application, expect 400-500 hours - yes, still a long time, but the journey was not at all unpleasant. Remember, I was enthusiastic about the RPs rig... |
