| Music Reference RM Mono? These are the original 1960s grey oval plate GE tubes. These are not the round plate? | |
| Music Reference RM Mono? Ecclectique. love your note, and I think you are right about looking at tubes rather than going mono. I will have my eyes out for some NOS to "play" with. I never heard any type of Amperex tube I did not like. Since posting, I've been listening to... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? "If these things "don't add or subtract", why are they so hard to match? Can't perfection be duplicated?"They are not that hard to match, you just need a tube amp or a high input impedance SS amp - gain is not much of an issue in most systems. But... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? If you start with a signal from the source (all the information from the recording you can get), isn't any alteration from that simply an additive having nothing to do with the recording, but some haze thrown over the recording, pleasant thought i... | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET IS there any consensus (not kidding:)) that for a given circuit, fewer output tubes always sound better than more IF there is sufficient power to drive the speakers? Maybe it was Sam Tellig who once said that some of the best sounding tube amps te... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? that's the way i hear t too. i think that at this point it is not a matter of comparing LSA with others and deciding which is "best". i think it is enough to say it is well worth trying and that some folks might just find it does what they want a ... | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET "The ability to put power into a loudspeaker often transcends WPC or the loudspeaker's published sensitivity and impedance specifications." Amen.I noticed this when I finally decided move from the 8ohm tap to the 4 ohm tap of my Music Reference RM... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Since I had the Joule LA150 SE at the time I got the LSA, I wanted another good linestage to compare it with. So a buddy of mine who has the CAT SL1 Ultimate MKII came over with his unit (70lbs!) just to compare. Well we went through some Lester Y... | |
| Music Reference RM Mono? Good, so I am not hallucinating:) | |
| Music Reference RM Mono? Anthony, can you hear any difference between using the 4 ohm and 8 ohm taps with your Audiokinesis speakers? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You bet against the Giants? | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET Thanks Ralph, that's what I meant to ask about "pentode" operation. By the way, can someone explain tetrode [?] operation - I often see that word used. Is this yet another possible tube application? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? So Knghifi heard it under "appropriate" conditions and prefered his excellent VAC, fair enough, and a valid preference. The TRL amps are all SS? Not hybrid? | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET What two-tube per channel P/P true pentode amps are there in current production? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Let's just leave it at this. The LSA is pretty good, and "not bad" for the money. Give it a try and decide for yourself if it competes with the $$$$ gear, I think you might find the test interesting and well worth keeping even if you decide it doe... |
