| Audiophile Humor He said a lot more than that(to which I wasn't even referring), over the years. To me, his classic was, "I never listen to live music, but- I have a pretty good idea what it sounds like." Even somewhat needing the rag, to keep informed as to what ... | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles If you’re going to plug something into an outlet, with the intent of having the outlet carry current for two to three hundred hours, make it something that will remain, "ON" for two to three hundred hours. Fridges and coolers are only, "ON" long e... | |
| Audiophile Humor Stereo Review’s, "funniest" and biggest joke was Julian Hirsch, the stone deaf, everything-sounds-the-same, "audiophile". Of course, those of like aural acuity never could get the joke. | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? Seems someone could manufacture a low impedance/low voltage drop valve rectifier(now), that provided sonics at least as good, as those made over three decades ago. The cost of even the best, most desirable, NOS rectifiers would drop like a rock. | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? There are a few companies now manufacturing tubes, that have tried to produce valves, copying the internal construction/design parameters of some of the most popular, from decades back. Mainly, what they’ve succeeded in duplicating(capitalizing on... | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? Voltage sag and compression aren’t the only cause of changes in the sound of a component's presentation. Mainly, that affects it’s dynamics. That’s why I said, "sometimes", that will improve with a rectifier change. The short answer to your quest... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Let's see, what has, "Science" taught us? At one time observation, which fosters common sense, led those interested, to believe that the Earth was the center of the universe. After all, everything seemed to revolve around it. Someone invented... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Schubert & cmsgolf- This site could be the focus of a case study on hubris. | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? Another thought: Given you have monoblocks, you could try installing a GZ34 in one channel’s amp, running the system mono, and compare the sound of the amps, before buying a second. Everyone listens/hears/judges differently. | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? There’s some good info regarding 5AR4 and GZ34 tubes here: (http://www.audiotubes.com/audtube.htm) | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? If I still owned anything that required the 5AR4/GZ34 rectifier and hadn’t changed them already, I’d be investing in either a Mullard(Blackburn) GZ34 or Philips 5R4GYS(if it fits). For over four decades, every piece of gear that I’ve owned(plus a ... | |
| Need FLEXIBLE Power Cord . "Except everybody will tell you how the meal was, ....."? It’s been my experience that, "everybody" will not have the same reaction to my cooking. ie: Most appreciate the Habanero peppers and garlic that I use(heavily) in my Guacamole-type dip, an... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... ROTF-LMAO! That’s to be expected(unfortunately), given how many view the universe with such myopia/naivety. (https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0708/0708.1536.pdf) | |
| the Q-Up The first Safety Raiser I owned, purchased in 1980 for $19.95, functioned faithfully(and GENTLY) for 34 years. The 20 minutes of initial set-up had been long forgotten. When I found my NOS/NIB second sample, from the estate of an obviously obsessi... | |
