| Ampeg Reverberocket 212 Reissue or Fender Hot Rod Deluxe? I had a 1966 Ampeg Reverbrocket with just one 12" CTS speaker. It had a pair of 7591's PP for 30 watts. Loud but manageable! | |
| The problem with speakers Indigestion after lunch, eh Kenjit? | |
| Best modern 6550 tube for ARC per-amp ARC used the Russian SED "winged c" 6550 tubes. These may no longer be available. A good alternate would be a NOS Sylvania or Philips 6550. | |
| Best modern 6550 tube for ARC per-amp Any 6550 will work fine! That tube is a voltage pass-regulator in the power supply. It is used to regulate the B+ voltage. The music signal does NOT go through it! No effect upon sound quality! | |
| Opening Record Store Waste of $10K! If such a powerhouse as Tower Records with 130 stores couldn't succeed with brick-and-mortar stores ... used-record sales are best done online. | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? That Purifi Eigentakt amp looks (and sounds!) like a real winner! | |
| Pass 600.8 monoblocks worth upgrade from 260.8? 34 to 50 watts! And double the price? LOL! | |
| What s the best Class A integrated tube amp over 80W Such a thing does not exist! Your room is too small for those electrostats! A Pass amp can't take that long to reach optimal temperature! My Bedini class A amp reached maximum temperature in about 30 minutes. | |
| Artists you only know through their greatest hits Zaeger & Evans: In The Year 2525 - a one-hit wonder! I might have the LP in my collection . This was a big hit in 1970! | |
| Best Patricia Barber or Keith Jarrett Album ? Those sidemen are: Jan Garbarek and Charlie Haden! Top notch! | |
| I was literally minutes from purchasing the Special 40's... I amend my previous comments. Look for a used pair of the Harbeth P3ESR's at about half-price! This represents a good value in today's currency! | |
| Ar ethe current LP's available for $25 or so as goos as the old ones. Lacquer-cutting on a lathe from an analog master tape is an art in itself! | |
| Ar ethe current LP's available for $25 or so as goos as the old ones. @chakster : You are spot on! I always try to buy original pressings. The new repressings sourced from digital files are not for me! I can just listen to a CD instead and not be concerned with the surface quality! | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? @mapman : I have a pair of the older Walsh Sound Cylinders. They must be experienced to be believed! 3 - D imaging from anywhere in the room! Uncanny! | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? Peter Walker's Wonder - the Quad 57! "We don't think our speaker is the best - only that all the others are worse!" - PW |
