| What SPL is music typically recorded at? Some good info here: (http://www.digido.com/honor-roll.html) and here: (http://www.digido.com/level-practices-part-2-includes-the-k-system.html) There's a plethora of variables, when one is considering recording levels. BASICS: we have the noise f... | |
| What makes strings sound "sweet"? What Onhwy61 said is exactly on the mark, as LIVE stringed instruments can sound very strident, when bowed aggressively. Good recordings will reproduce the edginess/bite, epecially if the mic was placed in front of the instrument. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. OH- And it's G-E-N-I-U-S, not genious, BTW. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. It's threads like this that put the, "FUN" back in dysfunctional. =8^) | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. If we have to explain, you wouldn't understand! | |

| Best caps for updating my VTL 225 mono's ? Hello Mr T- Considering the prices of the better caps out there like: V-Cap, Mundorf, Deulund, the Audio Note or Jensen silver foils, and auraTEFLON; (RELATIVELY speaking) they are inexpensive. I'm just assuming the post originator values his musi... | |
| Best caps for updating my VTL 225 mono's ? From the description you gave of your tastes; a, "paper in oil" cap would probably suit you. Jensen copper foils are inexpensive, and will provide the presentation you're seeking. Click on, "JENSEN", at the bottom of this page: (http://www.partsco... | |

| Best nos 6sn7g for my Atmasphere mp1. The, "best" will depend on your tastes in presentation. For me, that's been the 40's Tung-Sol round plates, of the construction shown in this guy's pics: (http://cgi.ebay.com/TUNG-SOL-6SN7GT-OVALPLATE-VT-231-NOS-RARE-6SN7-/390169929815?cmd=ViewIte... | |
| Replacement caps for Audio Note M1 Coupling caps exert a MAJOR influence on the presentation of an amplifier. The equation is simple; cheap caps=lost music. Nature(as in a musical signal) abhors a capacitor, and ESPECIALLY a cheap one. Use those that you have mentioned and you will... | |
| Substitute 5V4G tube for 5AR4 tube One of the good things about the Mullards is their longevity. They will most likely be the last rectifiers you'll have to buy for your amps/pres(unless you keep them for the rest of your life). My experience has been that power supply mods make so... | |
| Substitute 5V4G tube for 5AR4 tube While the 5V4 and 5AR4 can be interchanged in your circuit; you'll find the 5V4 less dynamic. A NOS Mullard(Blackburn Plant) 5AR4 will provide long life, dynamics, and a clean/smooth presentation(no sacrifices). ie: (http://cgi.ebay.com/MULLARD-GZ... | |
| Kimber Select IC's As Baggs stated; The higher in the Kimber lineup, the more transparent/resolving the cable. I've worked my way up through their line and have been using the balanced 1130's(out of my BAT VK-D5) for the past 5 years. The more transparent a cable, t... | |
