| Thoughts on New Audio Frontiers My dear pals,Never mind, forget it. No,no - it's too late now. I went and did it myself - without you - all by myself... Ha! | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Rectifier Hello everyone and thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I'm giving the SS rectified version a whirl. I have no doubt that on an even playing field, the tube alternative would be the way to go for me. The power ratings are a big issue here and I... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Rectifier Thanks for your thoughts and advice guys. Based on the response I got from my "New Audio Frontiers thread" I didn't even try to get specific. I appreciate it. | |

| Esoteric A-100, anyone hear it yet? Really? Nobody? | |
| SET the best? Thank's Ralph. Does this apply to SETs specifically or to any low powered tube amp. The amp I'm considering is a 25W/ch 300b push-pull. That's Focal's lowest recommended rating for an amplifier to drive my speakers, but I've read advice (might hav... | |
| SET the best? For clarity, I'm asking about speaker mods only. | |
| SET the best? Hi Ralph,I'm going to acknowledge, before I even ask, that this question is likely an example wrongful thinking. Many people use tubes with speakers that were probably not designed with tubes in mind - in my case JM Lab Mini Utopias. My question i... | |
| Passive preamp vs. powered You all make good points. Ralph, I think that's a very interesting observation - that the retrieval of ambient information effects the perception of truthfulness relating to imaging. | |
| Passive preamp vs. powered Hi Paul,I don't dispute your point. What I took exception to is the assertion that, because I don't walk lock-step with the majority of the audiophile community in certain subjective values, my opinions are disqualified. Let me attempt an analogy:... | |
| Passive preamp vs. powered "...it is true there are those who do not like imaging, bass extension, smoothness or clarity. I've met them, but generally I find that I don't care for their opinions as they are so far from reality"Hi Ralph,I'm probably overreacting to my pet pe... | |
| Jadis musical value? Wildwildwes, I've never actually heard the Viva with my speakers, just my friend's. I should have been more careful to qualify my opinions as being music dependent and relative to amps of significantly greater power. Do you have the old version or... | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? There was a blind tasting at an avant garde vodka lounge in Chicago. The participants boasted confidently that they could distinguish between premium and well vodka. Grey Goose (the consensus favorite before testing) finished last, while Smirnoff ... | |
| cj Premier 11 capacitor upgrade Hi Ddrave44, Just to be clear, you had the Teflon cap upgrade offered by conrad johnson? They are supposed to require a lengthy break-in and sound terrible until they do. |
