| How many of us really suffer from AUDIOPHILIA NERVOSA I see! This is just a suggestion: If you’re going to make statements like, "And no, there is no known cure", at the beginning of a thread, not desiring any retort, you might postscript that with something akin to, "NO OPPOSING VIEWS ALLOWED!" I’m ... | |
| How many of us really suffer from AUDIOPHILIA NERVOSA When did I ever depart from the theme of explaining how I find my system/music therapeutic and relaxing? OR- did you only address your original post, to those that suffer the same malady as you? | |
| Replacement Driver Help I understand perfectly! That's my philosophy, regarding my entire system. | |
| How many of us really suffer from AUDIOPHILIA NERVOSA Don’t mean to wax corny here, but- after just listening to Rickie Lee Jones singing, ’On Saturday Afternoons In 1963’, I had to add: My system just takes me there and getting away from here, is NICE! | |
| How many of us really suffer from AUDIOPHILIA NERVOSA Haven't seen an Audiophilia Nervosa Test, since the one in the April, 1993, issue of Stereophile. Did well on that one also. As long as what I hear in my listening room, compares nicely with what I hear(or have heard) in various recording stu... | |
| NOS Tung Sol 6550 VS Tung Sol 6550 New Production @tattoedtrackman- Just my take on what Schubert meant: The only current production output tubes, that can compete with the old Sylvanias, GEs, Mullards, Tung-Sols, Genelex, etc, are the EAT KT88s. Once having listened to those old tubes, they spoi... | |
| Replacement Driver Help Your very welcome. I edited my post, apparently while you were typing. I meant to include this, regarding Speaker Exchange's surround repair service: https://reconingspeakers.com/speaker-repair/repair-services/ | |
| Replacement Driver Help The noise is probably your voice coil, rubbing the magnet structure, due to the decayed surround. If it’s still making music, the voice coil isn’t destroyed yet. Check with the guys at Madisound, for a replacement. They used to deal in a plethora ... | |
| which 6sn7 gives the most air?? A footnote: All the Ken-Rads that I have tested/own(for back ups), are the black glass version. Don’t know if that makes a difference in the sound quality. Just that mine sound great. | |
| what is the best Kt88 to get Yes, output tubes will also affect your system’s sound/presentation. My previous octet of output tubes(in Cary monoblocks), were 1970’s, GE 6550As. Two sets of the same and a couple octets of Sylvania 6550s, before those(all mentioned being NOS, a... | |
| "Super Rectifier" @kalali- Yes, it probably will. Most gain devices can be described as a valve or switch, that’s(basically) turned on and off by it's input signal, and modulates the voltage and/or current from the power supply, as it’s output to the next stage(or ... | |
| "Super Rectifier" @theophile - Ghosts are great, but- If you crave Radical Rectumfire, try a Reaper! | |
| Beware the audio guru MENSA? Regarding Grammar: One would think, with such a high(proclaimed) IQ, such would(at least) be familiar with the proper use of reflexive pronouns(ie: "myself") https://www.grammarly.com/blog/reflexive-pronouns/ I will, however, admit that I c... | |
| Beware the audio guru The Tweak doth protest too much, methinks. (overly loquacious) For all that posturing: https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/do-you-suffer-from-the-dunning-kruger-effect--net-22227 | |
| which 6sn7 gives the most air?? The bottom-gettered VT-231 Sylvanias(JAN-CHS) and Ken-Rads(JAN-CKR), from the Forties are wonderfully clean and airy, and present a wide sound stage(if the rest of the system supports). No artificial warmth, though some are fond of that. Not too p... |
