| MARTIN LOGAN TRIPLES THEIR PANEL REPLACEMENT @Mateored(et al) This is just a History lesson. I am posting it to all regardless of party . I bet I know who won't read it -- those afraid of the truth. It is history and nothing can change it. But Obama is trying, by campaigning on "how bad the ... | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s WOW- Singapore! I'll bet tubes ARE expensive over there. I've purchased quite a few Siemens tubes(in the past 12 years), from this vendor in West Germany. He's very reliable and sells excellent tubes: (http://myworld.ebay.com/audiotubes_de&ssP... | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s I had been purchasing NOS Sylvania 6550's, from Upscale, until his supply ran out. Went to the =C= and felt I was missing nothing(at that point). Those had over four years on them when replaced with the NOS GE 6550A octet. Thus- I can't offer a va... | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s If you replace all of the tubes at once(pre and power); you won't know what tubes made what change, or to what degree. Just a thought: replace the preamp tubes first, and listen for a while. Put the old pre tubes back in, swap out the power amp tu... | |
| How to "break-in" new speakers?? The Harley that I rebuilt in '99, still sounds the same as it did then. The two SEAS L26ROY 10's that I installed in my bass system, two weeks ago, do not. The judicious application of a low freq signal, is helping their suspensions, "break in." T... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Three with Foster, only it should sound like it's being played in the original venue(ideally, if the microphone technique captured the room acoustic). But then- who am I to say what your system should sound like to YOU? | |
| Beware MSS Hifi, avoid Fraud They did me a favor; advertising the VPI SDS online, at a REALLY good price(new). I was able to get a local VPI dealer to match them. | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s Mr P- Kevin Deal(Upscale Audio) sells both of those tubes. His testing, matching and burn-in procedures are second to none. The last set of Winged 'C's, that I purchased from him, lasted me over four years(at hard labor). I've since gone back to t... | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s If you are after a warmer, tubier presentation; you'll be happy. If you like your sound cleaner/less colored, stick with the Winged 'C' 6550. How old are your 6550's? The comparison(new tubes to older/worn tubes) might not be a fair one. | |
| Power amp + CDP: is that enough? It depends on the max output voltage of the CDP and the sensitivity/available power of the amp. If the CDP can drive the amp to satisfying output level; you'll be fine, and will avoid whatever colorations a preamp might add. YES: try it! | |

| Best finger food for audiophile listening Depending on the anticipated length of your sessions; you MAY want to go easy on the humus and cheeses. Transient, spontaneous ambiance anomalies are likey to occur otherwise. | |
| VPI SDS speed issue MR M- Go here: ( http://vpiindustries.com/manuals.htm ) Right under the SDS Manual listing; you will see, "Calibration Mode for SDS." Either open or save that file, for the info you seek. | |
