| Digital Storage/Server, Sans DAC- What's Available? "Or did you mean an all in one server & renderer streamer something you can drop files onto and it has interfaces suitable to connect to any DAC?" Yes- and as Mahler mentioned, a way to manage files, without a computer(etc). Something like t... | |
| Kids during audition - aaaaagh!! @minorl - That kind of memory is worth vastly more, than whatever it might have cost. | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @n80- "I probably should not be pre-loading expectations either!" I haven’t mentioned anything, regarding attributes to be expected/anticipated, for that reason. I’m fairly certain, you and your wife will notice what the tubes deliver, without pro... | |
| Kids during audition - aaaaagh!! Circa 1977, my living room system had a semi-auto TT(turned on when the arm was lifted and placed over the vinyl), with a felt platter mat and which sat atop an old console TV/stereo. My daughter had repeatedly seen me start the music, from her ne... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? I suppose this site has a reason, for filtering out a USPS tracking number, when one member's trying to PM it to another. Whatever that reason might be, it's just stupid! | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? " You may see a pair with one JAN tube matched with a JAN USN. They are the same tube, the USN was sold to the US Navy and are very rare nowadays." Mine are marked for Joint Army Navy(JAN-CEP) and NAVY (6922) contracts, from ’62’ and ’64. They wer... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? ALRIGHTY, THEN! They'll be on their way, tomorrow. If you like the sound of them, and you're serious, regarding another pair; these(below) are identical. When you get my pair, compare them to the pics in this ad (better pics, than the eBay ad)... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? No harm will come to your preamp, but- if you’re having second thoughts, please- let me know before morning. Then again, call ARC and ask them. I won’t send the tubes, until I hear back from you. No problem. Their number: 763-577-9700 | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @mofimadness - OK(thanks for that). Owned an SP-9 and an SP-11, which were both a ton of fun, to tweak, in various ways. My son wound up with the 9. Never had heard that, regarding the 16 and wanted to be certain, I wasn’t missing something. It’ll... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @mofimadness - Was it Kevin, that mentioned having all four of your LS-16’s tubes matched? If so- did he elaborate? Just curious(he does know his stuff). | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? There’s no need to match all four, only two between channels(ie: V1 closely performance/readings matched to V2 and V3 needs to match V4). Nor do tube manufacturers need to be the same, between V1/2 and V3/4. ie: If you like the warmth/sound of wh... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @n80 - No need for shipping costs to you, only a mailing address. You only cover the return postage(USPS’ smallest prepaid box), if you don’t want to keep them them in your system. No strings! | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @n80- You got me thinking about my tube inventory. I found a NOS pair of these(the exact same vintage/iteration tubes as in the description, except- the printing on mine is still perfect): https://www.ebay.com/itm/E88CC-6922-AMPEREX-N-Y-USA-GOLD-P... | |
| Any comments on AES/EBU XLR digital cable VS. BNC Cable @denman - I’m curious: Have you tried a 1.5M Orchid, in your setup? If not, how do you know it wouldn’t sound better? Because the person that answered the phone at Kimber, said so? I could have saved quite a bit(almost $500.00, then), had there no... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? Yes- Only changing two tubes(either V1 & 2, or V3 & 4) will generally provide you with a good slice of what can be expected, if all are swapped. I’ve avoided counterfeits and junk, by only purchasing from reputable tube mongers. ie(for nin... |
