| How to pick which brand of 6550 tubes to purchase Those GE's are going to be hard to beat!!! However, if you haven't already done so, check out the Audioasylum (www.audioasylum.com). Look in the tubes section and do a search for 6550. You'll get lots of information and lots of opinions. If you do... | |
| Sensitive Monitors Let me start by saying that I am NOT a fan of the Revel sound, greatly prefering Proac and Sonus Faber. However, if its high efficiency you're looking for, I would like to suggest Reference 3A. The sound is not at all like Revel, being warmer, mor... | |
| AR SP-5 or Threshold Sl-10 Given those 2 choices it would be a "no-brainer" for me. If they are both in good working condition, go for the Threshold. It is a MUCH better piece of equipment. | |
| Good SET Tube Amp for $1500? Wright 2A3 monos should be in your ballpark and are exremely good. The ASL Tulip is also very good and is less money. I personally prefer the 2A3 tube to the 300B, but you do have significantly less power. I suggest these because you asked for "lo... | |
| Someone help me Sound Too Thin ????? While I absolutely agree that the speakers are probably the main culprit, they are not the first thing I would try changing. The first thing I would try is changing the sovtek 6922 for either a NOS Tunsgram, Siemens-Halske, or Mullard. This would ... | |
| Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get Go over to www.audioasylum.com and do a search. You will get more information than you can use. Also, another very helpful and reputable dealer is Upscale Audio.com. | |
| A pair of "warm sounding"6922 tub For "warmth" in an AI M3A my favorite is NOS Tunsgram. You will find them to be much warmer sounding than CCA. And, as a nice bonus they are long lasting in the M3A. Now for the frosting on the cake--they cost less too. Enjoy! | |
| The heat of tubes... Yup, I know exactly what you are talking about. We use a pair of Bel Canto Set80 monos. They're great in the Winter. Our Dachshund loves it when we turn them on. He curls up in front of one and goes to sleep. We call them our "auxiliary dachshund ... | |
| Wilson Witt vs Proac studio 250 I very strongly second Audionut's sage advice! I own Proac's and have listened to the Wilson's several times. Forget about the Witts--they are not long term keepers. | |
| Help with Martin Logan Quests. First, check directly with MartinLogan--they are on the web if there is no dealer near you. Second, are the panels clean and tight? Third, sometimes the panels need to be replaced after "several years" of use. Fourth, the Quests are now at least 3... | |
| Comments on this system...... I am a previous Thiel owner and have auditioned them extensively with many different brands of electronics, including Levinson. I am personally not a fan of the Thiel/Levinson combination. To me it has always seemed very cool and sterile. All of t... | |
| $2000- step up integrated or seperates? Ask yourself whether performance or convenience is most important. Also consider how much space you want to give to the equipment. If you want a relatively small package with the most convenience, go for the integrated. If you want the highest per... | |
| Who Does the Best Mods on CD Players I would highly recommend "modwright" (www.modwright.com).I have a Sony 333es which was modified by him and have been very satisfied with it. He was very easy to work with and very good about prompt communication. If I am in the market again, he wi... | |
| help on tubes One of the very best sources of tube information is at www.audioasylum.com. They have a whole section devoted just to tubes. You can do a "search" for whatever you would like to learn. Many extremely knowledgeable and very nice people hang out there. | |
| Subwoofer to go with Triangle Celius Here are a couple of websites to take a look at: adire.com and mjacoustics.com. Both have relatively inexpensive subs which have been getting great reviews. |
