| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? "3 times"? Nonsense! However; the confidence that I will receive actual NOS tubes, that have been comprehensively tested and will provide the performance paid for, is worth a premium(to me). There are some other tube mongers, that provide e... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp No sense of humor? | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? Magnepan recognizes, that it’s speakers have a, "break-in period’(second page of their 20.7 manual, last paragraph): https://www.magnepan.com/pdfs/manual/MG-20.7.pdf One would think, a major manufacturer like Classe’ would know better: https://man... | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? @mijostyn- You began your post, mentioning pain and ended with, "fiction". Those two words bracket, what they so aptly describe. | |
| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? Amperex/Bugle Boy and Philips/Miniwatt tubes tend to ride a line, between the warmth/romaniticism of British tubes and the clarity/transparency of the likes of Siemens and Teles. Contact Brent Jesse, for info. Reviews/listening opinions, here: htt... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp Given you’ve ignored my second question, I’ll assume, the answer is, "No!", to both. The design parameters of Odyssey amps(base models) provide for slightly over 23% of their first wattage, to be Class A. (ie: 35 W, out of the Stratus’ 150 W / 23 ... | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? How about the fact that there are a plethora of designs, incorporated in speaker systems(ie: domes, cones, ribbons, Mylar diaphragms, horns, two spiders, one spider, horn loaded, bass reflex, acoustic suspension, cloth or rubber surround, etc), ea... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp I asked a couple questions, that you left unanswered. Did you directly compare the Odyssey Khartago Extreme, with the Schitt combo, or- are you making assumptions? To expand slightly, on the second: have you any personal contact or experience, wit... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp So- assumptions, now- to include Klaus(as being a fool, regarding EE design). Have you personally met him? I have(and been to his house, more than once). It’s been my experience; there’s much more to the sound of an amplifier, than just the operat... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp Hey, George- Have you actually compared the Odyssey Khartago Extreme to the Schitt combo, or- are you making assumptions? | |
| Where can I hear highly respected speaker brands not represented Locally? If it isn't, it's one hellova imitation! | |
| Vintage Crown D 150A II Amp -- How good was it? Always recommended/installed Crowns, for road gear/live venues. It was virtually impossible to kill them(rugged as they were, in the late 70’s-early 80’s). I never thought the sound came close, to the home audio amps I carried. Nor did my customers. | |
| Arm interconnects choice??? +1 for Synergistic’s cables. I’ve been using their Tricon Analogue, for the past 15+ years, with My Denon 103D, Dynavector 17D3 and Soundsmith Aida. Doubtful- that I could be happier, with another cable(based on a few decades of live music, 2-3 ti... | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail Then again- if you do happen to get a valve amp, do the above with the input tubes. | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail Buy a tubed preamp and load it with NOS British tubes(ie: Mullard, Brimar, etc). |
