| Is upgrading stock tubes standard proceedure? Hi Jmo,Who did your mods? | |
| I Feel Overwhelmed....Please Help The unenlightened should never walk into a dealership IMO. Too many of the salespeople one encounters are little better than snake oil salesmen, and even if they seem to be helping you initially, they might be setting you up for a future hit. I kn... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? "I think it's weird if someone is buying a piece of audio just to let it modified first prior to listening. Or don't you agree with this?"Dazzdax, I think "weird" is a little strong but I do see your point. That said, I think there are some compon... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Isn't it fun when you can do that for someone Albert? It's a similar thrill introducing someone to your system who you know appreciates live music. They expect it to be be clearer and louder but are unprepared for the reality - they just didn't kn... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico Sirspeedy,Hear hear, nicely said. We could probably all benefit by taking a moment to look at our audiophile reflection under the illumination of your post. | |
| BAT VK75 vs. BAT VK75SE - which is more euphonic? Rodman's advice sounds particularly good in your case as you seem to be a man who knows exactly what he's looking for sonically. I'm a new convert to tube exploration and I couldn't be happier that I'm finally on board. Components are now gelling ... | |

| Is upgrading stock tubes standard proceedure? "Conrad Johnson does use good tubes and they make an effort to test and match them. There is nothing wrong with using the stock tubes."I agree Sugarbrie, in the same way that I would agree that there is nothing wrong with the standard quality tire... | |
| Is upgrading stock tubes standard proceedure? Assuming that high quality tube design is not a lost art, perhaps they're just not profitable to manufacture at this time, given the current supply of NOS tubes they would be competing with. Forgive me for seeking the silver lining, but man, I don... | |
| Is upgrading stock tubes standard proceedure? Hi Newbee,If my elation suggested that I believe that my first significant move to one of the classic NOS tubes resulted in the ideal selection, that was not my intention. However, the improvement from my previous Sovtek and Electro Harmonix 6922s... | |
| 845 SET? deHavilland / Art Audio/et..al. Hi Pubul57,Well, I'm probably the last person who should try to get technical but here goes: From all that I've read, I've come to think of output transformers sort of like window glass. We want windows so we can enjoy a view. The cleaner and high... | |
| How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help Hi Leoturetsky,I wish I could give you something more helpful, but they're not just in airplanes anymore.http://www.motionbox.com/video/player/d39fd4b81c5a | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? "Another change in policy is that factory repair takes precedence over production -"Hi Simon,I just had to chirp in and applaud that decision. I've been open to an amplifier upgrade for a little while now, and one class D amplifier just became int... | |
| Should I get the Art Audio Jota Hi Darkmoebius,Right or wrong, I've always thought that the synergy between high end components was atleast as important as their respective quality. For the time being, I want to hold on to the 17LS and the Minis so I'm going to be more opened mi... |
