| Calling All Tube Gurus Here is a paragraph from Joe's Tube Lore. See if this is helpful information. For details, check the link. Be careful of getting hung up on the brand name printed on the tube. In my experience most Siemens 6DJ8 family tubes you will find in the U... | |

| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Mark Levinson 23.5. Still sounds better than many amps costing lot more. Another dark horse is Audio Research 100.2.

| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? @dogearedaudio I was listening to Ben Webster's Blue Light LP yesterday. Really wonderful album. Double bass in the front-middle of the soundstage and the cymbols/snare drums on the left side back of the stage. Webster played the horn on right sid... | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? @bdp24 Thank you very much for your very informative response. I thought may be the mics did not capture the bass drums. Now I know it has to do with the way they played the bass drum. It is always good to hear from those who know the subject. Aga... | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? @czarivey My bad. It should be "powered by" 😂 | |
| Listening position/speaker position Without getting in to details, I will say your friend gave you a terrible advise. My room is the same width and length as yours. My speaker placement is very much the same as yours. Placing your listening chair against the back wall is a very bad ... | |
