| How to break in a tube preamp? Should work fine to not power on amps, but they do need to be connected to your preamp. I've done this. | |
| Warm Interconnect.... For your budget I suggest Auricle Audio Encore! Kaptons.http://auricleaudiodesign.web.officelive.com/product.aspx | |
| Can Anyone Recommend a Good Speaker ? Look for a used pair of Eggleston Works Fontaines - they deliver tight, punchy bass. I've had mine several years now and nothing has been able to unseat them. The original ones require a sub, but not as necessary for the model IIs, depending on yo... | |
| Carlos Santana - designer of women’s shoes? I read that he was in collaboration with Jose Feliciano to do a tricked out high-heeled sneaker as well ;^) | |
| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? I think he was a talented performer and like him well enough to have one CD of his, Chet Baker Sings (his best release IMO). I love most jazz and find his unique, laid back but still swinging style interesting and enjoyable, but only enough so t... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? I would never allow an amp to keep me from a pair of speakers I want. I say go for the speaker upgrade and then figure out the amp. Of course, at the very least you'll need to buy an appropriately matched (electrically speaking) amp for your syste... | |
| ''Don't Explain'' Agree! Highly recommended. Both performers do an excellent job. Neither one spoils the songs by trying to show off or call attention to themselves. Very enjoyable music. | |
| acoustic ceilings These look promising. Relatively inexpensive, seem easy to mount, and are paintable. Have never heard them in action.http://www.srlacoustics.com/photo-album/new-product.html | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? This sounds for all the world like a teaser question to simply allow us to all sound off on our biases and preferences!But of course! Not asking which amp measured the best, but worthy of keeping for life based on audio pleasure, which is complete... | |
| ss replacement for my SET tubes and Egglestons? Larryken - if and how - that is what I am asking.Onemug - Aleph's able to drive my 87db/6.5 ohm min. speakers?Any Eggleston owners or others who have at least heard Egglestons with ss amp costing less than $3k used out there able to chime in? | |
| ss replacement for my SET tubes and Egglestons? Through reading I see that it might be impossible to mimic the SET sound I have with ss so I am willing to give up some of the SET magic in a subtractive way. For example, not as organically deep or as seductive or as well imaged. As long as it do... | |
| Is upgrading worth it? I used to feel similar - that it was necessary to have two systems: one warm system for rock and electric blues; and one revealing system for jazz, acoustic, vocals, etc. I was fortunate enough to find a gear combination which is both revealing (n... | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k Adam speakers. Had I the coin I'd be auditioning speakers from these folks (NY). Cannot recall which model I heard at show here in Atlanta, but it was fabulous. Internal powered sub. IIRC, had all the attributes for which you are seeking. They wer... | |
| Best Live Album Ever... +1 Vicks7, good call! | |
| I need speakers for low volume listening - Zu Superflys - I had these in my home for several days and was very impressed with how well they were able to reproduce all of the music contained as well as the emotional expressiveness at low volume. (Driven with 6C33C SETs.) |
