| Organ CDs with really deep bass That Fox recording is a lot of fun, and it does have a good deal of bass. I found the CD to be a little dry, but the D2D (I have the Crystal Clear) is pretty good, even though it has a few wrong notes in it that were cleaned up on the CD. Fox wa... | |
| Owners of Duntech Crown Prince still out there? I had a pair of the original Crown Princes with the veneer (which made it a Princess); the list price back in 1987 when I got them was $7,700US, I believe. The Crown Prince without the veneer was less, maybe between $6,000 and $6,500 (?). It had... | |
| Tube Dealers 2021 +1 on Andy Bouwman at Vintage Tube Services. His prices reflect the lengths he goes to testing the tubes andmaking sure you have the real tubes you want. Tough to reach but I believe he is worth the trouble. | |
| Amperex "Bugle Boy" tube compatibility Agree with the above, don't use a 12AX7 type in a 6DJ8 circuit. Amperex made wonderful Bugle Boy 6DJ8s, I would look for them. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Rvpiano, that Zander disk also has both versions of the last movement, the original version with the three hammer blows and the final with two. I think one of the stories about why it was changed was that Mahler the conductor so identified with t... | |
| My new to me Herron VTPH-2A - First impressions Congratulations on a fine purchase. While your CJ is a fine unit, you might want to try to find a Herron line stage to go with it as well, I think you'd like it a lot. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I tend to agree somewhat with spiritofradio on the sonics of the von Karajan Beethoven cycle, while good they are geared more towards the performance rather than the sonics, as is the case with many of the DG recordings of the time. Don't mistake... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I've been going through a Beethoven Symphony box I didn't realize I had, the 1963 von Karajan cycle with the Berlin Philharmonic. Last few nights I've listened to symphonies 1-5 and 7; tonight it's symphony 6 and perhaps 8. I can see why many fe... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) If it's the same record, did you clean it with your system first and then the ultrasonic, or vice versa? They do seem different, though I couldn't tell you if one was cleaner than the other. | |
| Why would 2 schiit aegir amps sound the same as 1? I think russ69 might have made the incorrect assumption that the OP was using both amps in stereo mode and bi-amping (28x4?). From what I can see, OP's talking about one stereo amp vs. two monoblocks. That said, the power difference still doesn'... | |
| Something about Thiel CS 3.7 Depending on the size of your room, the 3.7s should be a significant step up. They'll certainly go deeper in the bass. Only concern could be overloading your room. You might check the Thiel Owners thread, lots of knowledgeable Thiel owners there. | |
| Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again. Artizen65, welcome back. If you've been gone for a while, you may have missed the fuse threads? | |
| Why do you need so much power? +1 thecarpathian. | |
| The Davone Ray-S Speaker--A unique speaker that is worthy of your attention and audition rotuserp2: I think you got the speakers I heard (CSA Audio). Had I known I was moving to smaller quarters then I might have gotten them. | |
| Reference Recordings In listening further, it seems to me that the Minnesota Orchestra recordings do have a recessed quality not found on the others. I still get a soundstage, but it does have a distant perspective. I'd be curious how much the hall has to do with th... |
