| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Sakahara, which EML 300b are you looking at? | |
| JM Labs, Focal Diablo Utopia VS. Micro Utopia BE Lucky_boy, have you ever heard the Diablo with a tube amp? If so, what did you think. | |
| Live vs. recorded I almost always prefer studio recordings. To me, they're a more accurate representation of the artists intent; and to my tastes, they sound better. On the occasions that I do like live recordings, it's usually because the recording was able to cap... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Sakahara, I'm shopping for 300bs too. Did you give any consideration to Emission Labs? | |
| JM Labs, Focal Diablo Utopia VS. Micro Utopia BE I used the Mini Utopia with cj amps for many years and and found it very musical. FWIW, the Jm Lab distributor in the US told me that the Diablo offers a more benign impedance for tube amps than the Be. | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Gentlemen, my last post concerned one specific instance and was, in no way, offered as support for any thesis on the character of women. Nobody's daughter's honor need be defended. The intention of the post was light hearted humor which is how I i... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? I occasionally used to give a co-worker, who I was very attracted to, a ride home. If I talked about my passion for audio, her response would be one of polite interest. One day she discovered a pair of Siltech G6 interconnects in my back seat (hon... | |
| anyone know the best tubes for pv10al....... Hi Mrtennis, your experience with rolling tubes in cj amps is a little surprising to me. I've rolled tubes in all my cjs: Premiers 5, 11a & 17LS. I have been gratified in each instance but in particular, with the 17LS. Installing NOS Amperex 6... | |
| SS integrated amp that has tube like qualities First post:" provide me with a recommendation.""I'm looking for a solid state integrated" Later post:"I was only asking a generic question whether anyone had first hand experienced a SS integrated that had tube like characteristics, and that was p... | |
| SS integrated amp that has tube like qualities Cmalac, I believe you missed the point. The issue isn't "his" knowledge, it's the requisite knowledge necessary to give sound advise. The Op is asking for specific amplifier recommendations. Are you suggesting that the sensitivity and impedance of... | |
| SS integrated amp that has tube like qualities I'm preparing a special dinner and would appreciate some recommendations for a sauce to accompany the main entree. Please pardon the sarcasm, but you wouldn't think of advising me without knowing the entree, right? Then why are there so many reque... | |
| How close to the real thing? Very, very nice post Bryon - as erudite as I've seen. | |
| How close to the real thing? "are you saying the blind comparison test would be an invalid measurement strategy?"I can't rationalize this, but I've never been sure that blind testing is the be-all end-all. I should also admit that, with the exception of impedance matching and... | |
| How close to the real thing? "You're treading on dangerous turf, Phaelon"Thanks for the warning Irvrobinson.You're not being fair. Are we talking about measurements or listening? You can't talk measurements on the "does it sound like a tube debate" and then switch to listenin... | |
| How close to the real thing? The more I read this thread, the more it becomes clear to me just how much this topic has in common with the myriad threads on "tubes vs solid state" (Now I know why you've given this thread a pass Tvad). A common theme of those threads is whether... |
