| why does triod mode sound better than ultralinear? I posed a similar question to the folks at Rogue Audio concerning the set up of my Rogue Audio Magnum 88 amp. Here is the response I received, "with speakers that tend toward the bright side, the triode mode may sound smoother and more natural.For... | |
| Do you rember your first? In the early 70's while still in college I managed to save enough for my first system: a pair of Large Advent speakers, a Marantz 2245 receiver and a Garrard tt with a Shure V15 cartridge. I still use the Advents for my second sytem with a McIntos... | |
| best way to clean record?? First I remove some of excess dust with an Audioquest static brush. Next I use the VPI concentrate with about 20% isoproply alcolhol added with the VPI record brush on a VPI HW-16.5. After drying I then use the static brush again to eliminate any ... | |
| Anyone familiar with the None-Felt Turntable Mat? I tried one out on my MMF-7 and the elimination of static cling is the only improvement it offered. By the way the material looks suspiciously like the refridgerator bin liner material sold in grocery stores. In addition it appeared to have been c... | |

| Best Live Recordings:Performance and recording "Live at the Regal" is very good but BB King's "Blues is King" recorded live in Chicago 2 years prior is a far better performance. | |
| Most underated albums...... BB King's "Blues is King". Although "Live at the Regal" is considered by many to be the ultimate live blues recording "Blues is King" recorded live in Chicago in 1964 I think surpasses "Regal" in all aspects. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? I second Mitja with Ronnie Earl being my overall favorite living guitar player. Of those who are no longer with us I would have to choose the late Danny Gatton. | |
| I need suggestions for a minisystem. I bought the single player Denon (the M30 I think) for my wife over a year ago for our small family room and we have been very pleased. It has been trouble free and sounds decent for what it is. If I am not mistaken I have seen this system being a... | |
| Seasoned Mcintosh Fans lend me your ears & advise The MA6100 integrated is a huge bargain for the buck. At 70wpc it is typically Mac tube-sounding. I have several 6100's in stock that blow away my MC30 and MC40 monoblocks. | |
| What's the best dirt bag speaker you have heard? I found a pair of 1976 Large Advents for $65 at pawn shop in very good original condition. I hooked them up to a McIntosh MA6100 that I bought for $500 on the net and a Marantz CD63SE CD player that I picked up on Audiogon for $150. It turned out ... | |
| Robert Cray like sound Check out Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets, and Duke Robillard. | |
| Tube subtitutions 12AT7 for 12AX7 I agree with Dekay. Although it is not recommended to substitute a 12AT7 for a 12AX7 a 5751 is simply a special (industrial) type of 12AX7 with lower gain and a slightly higher heater current. Amplification factor of the 12AX7 is 100 where the 575... | |
