| The Hub: Acoustat X: 'stats with tubes! My first Planars(1981) were Acoustats. We may not have seen the end of the name, BUT- we CERTAINLY have seen the end of the QUALITY. China? PU-LEEZE!!!! | |
| maggie SMG sounds dead Listen closely(physically) to the high freq section of both panels, and determine if there is any output. It could very well be that hearing has changed, or that you have become accustomed to the repsonse of your newer speakers. It's unlikely that... | |
| another break in question I've used the Pink, White and Brown Noise tracks(programmed to repeat) of this CD, to speed burn-in of components:(http://www.musicdirect.com/product/73160) Right now, I've got two new sets of interconnects burning, but- I'm using an FM tuner(savi... | |
| Tequila's turn? Scorpion Mezcal Gran Reserva Añejo 7 Year Old!(OK- So, Mezcal is Tequila's bastard cousin) Hallucinogenic(by the time you eat the scorpion). Besides: Worms are for wimps! | |
| Upgrade from Kimber D60? Try this: (http://www.cs1.net/products/canare/LV-77S_digital_audio.htm) | |
| 2 Quad EL34 sets for Dynaco ST-70 What the bias measures BEFORE you remove the tubes doesn't matter. The correct bias adjustment for the ST-70 is 1.56 Volts. Be certain that's what you end up with, after all the other steps mentioned by Viridian are followed. Also: The bias needs ... | |
| Experience with high end fuses???? Just for the record: The first HiFi-Tuning fuses that I changed were ONLY the AC mains for my Cary tubed monoblocks. The positive impact that they made there, convinced me to purchase the others that now reside in my system. It seems that few unde... | |
| what do you use to remove your tubes? Quartz Halogen, and some Metal Halide bulbs, will immediately go bad, if any kind of residue is left on their envelope(they get that hot). Personally, I just don't want anything leaving, or collecting, funk on the glass or bases of my tubes, or an... | |
| Behringer Crossover for Maggies vs Bryston If you value your system's sound AT ALL, and decide to go with ANYTHING from Behringer; count on having the unit modified. ie: (http://www.asi-tek.com/behringer2.html) | |
| bose acoustimass 10 Blose Acoustimess? For free; the price is right! As stated; get 'em, sell 'em, and get something that sounds real. | |
| what do you use to remove your tubes? I put my hand in a cotton athletic sock, but then- my tubes are completely exposed, and their silicone dampers make them even easier to grasp. | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition 100,000 units/likely the best selling......? A testament to how deaf many people are. The Dynaco ST-70 sold over 300,000 units, because it sounded/sounds much more like music(even given it's obvious limitations). Now they sell used, for three time... | |
| Experience with high end fuses???? Perhaps a bit of reading would have eliminated your confusion? Note that HiFi-Tuning's literature mentions their fuses having a, "burn wire"(like any other miniature fuse) and nothing else, outside of endcaps and a body. Further- that the company ... | |
| Experience with high end fuses???? Mr Z- Yes, the effect has been verified, more than once and with different listeners(uncoached). Even some half-deaf musician friends noticed the more(what I term), "organic" presentation with the HiFi-Tuning fuses(gold ones), as opposed to Bussma... | |
| Experience with high end fuses???? Perhaps someone was asleep during the early eighties, when SO MANY of us learned that measurements mean VERY LITTLE when it comes to the sound of a high end system. I was skeptical(to say the least) about whether Hi-Fi Tuning fuses would make an a... |
