| High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older "Are they in use in the US?"There were some businesses that were giving it a whirl but the media jumped all over it - you know, child abuse and all that. In retrospect, they were probably right to do so; between the attitude of indifference and di... | |
| Which 300B SET for SF Guarneri Homage? "heard what that same speaker was capable of when paired with an amp that offered reserves of power."I should have written:heard what that same speaker was capable of when paired with an amp of comparable quality that offered reserves of power. | |
| Which 300B SET for SF Guarneri Homage? I think that the posts between Charles1dad and Daveyf offer an excellent example of the different expectations audiophiles have of their systems. Nobody is wrong, IMO. The fact is, you don't need a lot of watts to make music if you don't place gre... | |
| StereoTimes Interview with Duke LeJeune/Audiokines I've never had the privilege of speaking with Duke, but I came away from that piece thinking: "What a stand-up guy". | |
| solid state vs tubes LOL Magfan, Just how many shots did you do between those last two paragraphs? | |
| solid state vs tubes Interesting Mrtennis. It makes me wonder: Do you think there a single set of speakers and components that are capable of revealing everything that the finest examples of each design have to offer? | |
| Focal Utopia monitors: Diablo vs. Micro Be I have heard that the Diablo is an easier load for an amplifier than the Be - gentler impedance curve. Can any of you guys who heard the Diablos comment on this? I have a relatively robust 25W/Ch Tube Integrated and would like to know if it's even... | |

| Top 5 Hamburgers Macdad, Taylor Street isn't quite Taylor Street anymore and unfortunately, Al's has fallen victim to its own success, IMO. | |
| solid state vs tubes "I wish people would come out sometimes and say, "It sucks"." I agree with you Bostonbean, but it's more easily said than done. I have friends and acquaintances that would receive criticism of their wife and kids more kindly than they would their ... | |
| solid state vs tubes "Nothing ever gets resolved in these discussions, and the circularity of the discussion continues ad infinitum." You're right Tvad, but what I have difficulty understanding is why you're right. Objective fact: Tubes are not solid state and vice ve... | |
| solid state vs tubes My intention here is not to start an argument but I feel a need to address the comment that tube sound can be achieved with a solid state amplifier preceded by tube components. I've read that same thing frequently on these threads and I think it's... | |
| This is no joke. It would take a man with special qualities to hear significant improvements with that...gadzooks, I don't even know what to call it...thing sitting on his speaker. But those special qualities pale in comparison to the bravery it took to initiate t... | |
| solid state vs tubes While listening to some Avalon speakers at a dealership, I looked to the side of the room to see which tube amp was supplying the power and was surprised to see that he was using a Belles amp. That's the only time I've been close to being surprise... | |
| conrad-johnson system questions Swaf, when I informed you that speakers make sound, I was just being lighthearted with you. But what I said that had value, was that the first step in finding a speaker is room analysis and determining personal listening preferences.What are your ... |
