| Musical Subwoofer for 2-channel system There is a James EMB 1000 sub for 750.00 on the GON right now, I've heard good things about them, but have never heard them myself. Maybe someone who has can comment. | |
| Really wild-looking tube amps Cain and Cain used to use to partner up at shows with these amps, before the builder of Cain And Cain passed away. I think the Cain and Cain brand is being carried on, but I don't know details. | |
| Genuine Telefunken? I suggest if you are going to buy tubes, that you use a tube dealer that has a good track record, and not just some guy selling a few tubes. Research some of the web based tube vendors and pick one that you feel comfortable with. You might pay a l... | |
| question about breaking in speakers and amp Tvad, I agree completely! | |
| Those simpler times..... I remember lying on my bed and listening to a suitcase system, the ones where you had to disconnect the speakers and place them on either side of the room and the main body of the case was where the amp and turntable was. This was about 1967, and ... | |
| question about breaking in speakers and amp You guys don't think that capacitors break in or form? I think if you talk to any good tube amp designer and ask them if a cap that is in the signal path ( coupling caps) sounds different after 50 hours than when it is fresh out of the box will te... | |
| question about breaking in speakers and amp Hi Keith, I completely agree with you that equipment should sound perfect within 24 hrs. I did not mean to imply that a tube amp would sound bad when it is new its just that as the capacitors are forming, things should smooth out a little more aft... | |
| question about breaking in speakers and amp With the speakers anyway, you should hear the bass and the sound stage get better and better as time goes by. What happens is the rubber surrounds on your drivers will loosen up. The tube amp in my experience will get smoother sounding after about... | |
| 6SN7 tube GTA vrs GTB One thing that I suggest, is to buy from a tube dealer that will test for microphonics. 6SN7's are prone to be microphonic and noisy ones will obscure detail. The ones you buy on ebay are probably not sorted as to how noisy they are. Vintage Tube ... | |
| Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon Personally, I wouldn't Buy a speaker that requires a large amount of watts. Maybe in the SPL= 92db 1watt 1meter range or so being the lowest. That way if you ever want to try different amps you can check out ones that are not so powerful but are v... | |
| best speakers on AGON for about $500 If you really want to save some dough and still have great sound, I'd suggest the Sound Dynamics 300ti that are for sale on the GON right now in Florida. He is only asking $200.00 for the pair which is a very good price! (I don't know the seller) ... | |
| toddler/kid proof speaker stands I don't think your toddler will be able to knock over the "rooted buttress" speaker stand that Mapleshade makes! | |
| toddler/kid proof speaker stands Take a look at the mapleshade website. | |
| The SET amp question. The short answer-SET's amplify the whole wave form with one tube and push pull splits the signal in half (positive & negative) and one tube amplifies the neg and one tube amplifies the pos and then its put back together again.I know that someb... | |
| System too harsh Help It looks like tube rolling is not an option as you already have the DR version of the 6H30! Maybe CRYO it? Just a thought. |
