| No output on New LS26 Theo,please keep up updated as the unit breaks in. I'm interested in the ARC /Mac combo. It should be a good match. The pre will need about 400hrs. 250 hrs will be about 75% there. | |
| David Byrne & Brian Eno AMEN! | |
| David Byrne & Brian Eno Dreadhead, Peter Wolf's "Sleepless" is a pretty good solo effort. It's one of my favs. However, for the most part I agree with you. | |
| No output on New LS26 I would like to recommend that when you find the problem and it's all resolved don't let that taint your evaluation of the LS 26. It's a great preamp. | |
| David Byrne & Brian Eno Albertporter,I know what you mean. I love Ghost in the Bush and Another Green World. I've learned to let it go when it comes to music. I mean this is real music not just some notes put together. Good melody,lyrics, and someone that can sing like D... | |
| Tube-aholics Anonymous? I think P/P tube amps are a dying breed. IMHO the future is state of the art SS, Digital,and SET tube amps. The reason most went ape hockey over P/P tube amps was that the last twenty years was that digital sources and SS amps were just aweful. I'... | |
| New "Astral Weeks Live" Yea, Van's a little sloppy. But I can make out his lyrics better than Jimmy Hendrix or some of the old Mick Jagger stuff and I like them too. I just think if you don't want to hear any other sounds (audience,coughing, hoots, hollars) Then why go l... | |
| Tube-aholics Anonymous? Blindjim, that's the funniest thing I've heard in a while. I wouldn't put tubes as BMWs. A Spectron switching amp is a new BMW M3. While traditional SS amps are more like a Honda. But a SET Tube amp (300B,2A3,45) is like a 2002 BMW just fun as h#*l. | |
| Scratch removal before ripping Huh, toothpaste. I'm sure it works well But Is there a sonic difference between Colgate and Crest? I'll have to do some AB-ing and let ya'll know my findings. One thing for sure, my disc will have fresh breath and no cavities! Sorry I just could h... | |
| New "Astral Weeks Live" I have to say. I've talked to other audiophiles concerning this cd. It seems that a lot of "so called music lovers" don't like the new version because it's live. Well, all I can say about that is Bull@$&t! If your only into studio recordings t... | |
| Anybody else love the new Jason Isbell? I have to admit that when Jason left the truckers, that it was a mistake on his behalf. Looks like I was wrong the guy can do some great music. Even the Drive By Truckers have done well with there latest. It is a great cd. I'm enjoying it a lot la... | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not Jea48, I agree with your last post. Taters could have gotten a little nasty as well but, for K.Deal to hang up on him.I wasn't aware of K. Deal's statement on his website about ARC retubing until you pointed it out. That makes me feel a little bet... | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not "In Reply to: RE: Upscale Audio no longer retubing ARC VT 100??? posted by cruzmsl on May 15, 2008 at 20:31:36"Note the date! Then why such a bad attitude towards Taters a year later? Mr. Deal sure doesn't come across like this on the phone. My pe... | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not I've been in this hobby for 30 years and Mr. Deal is the worst in the business. Audiophiles (at least some) like to be talked down to. That's why the a**hole has stayed in business. Call Andy at Vintage tube services or do the ARC route. Mr. Deal ... | |
| New "Astral Weeks Live" Pehare,Yes it's great!!. The music was always great anyhow. I love the fact that Van just re-did the whole cd live for us! It's truly one CD that I'll be listening to for years. As I sit and listen, it's almost as if I've never heard it before. Th... |
