| Tube Life Question: 12AX7 Drivers Depends on the tubes - I know the NOS RCA black plate tubes last about 5000 hours (input tubes) while others are supposed to last 2000 hours. | |
| Audiophile Classical cds? If you decided to get into SACD or Vynil, you will find more classical music then you will know what to do with. And it will sound very very good. I'll let the more seasoned classical listeners recommend which is best. | |
| Availability of cheap vinyl in SF? Goodwill is the only place I can think of. Don't rule out Ameoba (sp?) in Berkeley. ($4 bridge toll) But the best used vynil and CD collection I've seen in the area. | |
| What song best sums up the previous year? Papertrail, the older I get the more I realize how true that verse is, and all ther others. | |
| No way,No how,Never will... USblues get some Black diamond racing cones (or another effective brand) and replace the feet to your amp. It won't take up anymore shelf space. Or to spend less get the audioquest (something?) feet. They are sorbothane (sp?) gel. That should make... | |
| What song best sums up the previous year? Satch, I had to go through the same thing (minus the legal part) at the beginning of last year. I'm glad 2005 is over. Someone else can have it. Hang in there - it gets much better (you know but it's good to hear anyway) - it just seems to take fo... | |
| What song best sums up the previous year? Best Post so far on this thread: "01-23-06: PapertrailIf we all knew half as much as we think we do, we would all be twice as smart as we really are. Present company included. One thing I have learned---the longer I live the less I am sure about w... | |
| Sony scd xa777es vs scd777es Neither of the two you are comparing has xlr outputs. | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews They review the same manufacturers over and over. VS speakers have been reviewed by many other rags, and they have had stellar reviews. Don't you think that would get Stereophile's attention? There is clearly a hidden motive why they would ignore ... | |
| Sony scd xa777es vs scd777es I own the XA777ES with Superclock III mod. I beleive the SCD777ES is the better sounding one, marginally, and the XA777ES is harder to modify, so some modders won't do it. | |
| No way,No how,Never will... Tubes are a matter of preference, so if you no like then you should no get. As far as vibration - it is a major factor in getting the most out of your system. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? TVAD, If I listen to your set up, it will most likely shift my paradigm. Then when I go back to my system, it won't sound as good. So, I'm afraid to come by ;). What state are you in TVAD? I travel with business, so you never know. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? TVAD and others, My comment was a little unfair. I think it is more a matter of preference. I am far from an analog purist. I listen to CD and SACD more than analog - mostly because I don't always have the time to mess with all that is involved. I... | |
| What song best sums up the previous year? Thanks Tomryan for giving us a logical and accurate point of view. I guess the admin. doesn't like my arguments, so they won't allow my posts (which are pretty close to your point of view). I guess the truth does hurt the liberal point of view, so... | |
| Who is the best classical pianist alive? I saw Eldar and he is a prodigy at his age, but he certainly has a ways to go to be the best. He's ahead of the game though - very amazing at his age. Plays classical and several forms of jazz, but he's a jazz guy. |
