| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? It could possibly be the cables. I wonder why you bought cheap ones when you spent so much on the rest of your gear. | |
| Magnepans and dogs @stereo5 I have felt the same way as you do now twice, and twice I was wrong. I had a female Dachshund that I loved and lost, and then a male Standard Poodle that I adored and lost suddenly one day and very unexpectedly. I have now had a second ... | |
| How are we wiring our Mono systems? I think @lewm gave the best and simplest advice. | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong @inna Any vintage speakers that sound as good overall as, say, JM Labs Grand Utopia ? That would depend on what you're looking for. If it was dynamics for instance, old horns will beat them. In other ways I'm sure that the Utopias are more fait... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Kenjit...yes, that's a definite possibility! Certainly a stupid and presumptuous thread. | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong You're wrong about Altec A7's and Khorns, as well as some Electro Voice and I'm sure many others that I am missing. Prove it? That's impossible because it is a subjective evaluation, but I'm sure that you'll lose in a straw poll. | |
| Not sure if I have enough oomph. At first I thought that you were kidding! I think you'll be just fine. | |
| My Center, 50 lbs and 1,000 Watts Those are some beautiful (and pricey!) drivers in that box! | |
| Cerious Technologies I was previous customer a few years ago and couldn't reach him after several emails. I guess it's hit and miss. | |
| Sugden Amps That is a very good buy! | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature @dweller I think that you're worrying way too much about tube wear. Life is short; just use it and be happy. | |
| Sugden Amps Sugden is really nice, some also like Belles. I don't know what your budget is, but the Sugden Masterclass integrated is a really wonderful end-game piece. | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @inna I'm surprised and disappointed that you would make such a blanket and ignorant comment. | |
| How do you add color? I think that a couple of you misunderstood what I said. I wasn't suggesting that certain speakers or electronics add timbre or texture. I was saying that the best ones expose the timbre and texture that actually exists in the recording. It's not a... | |
| How do you add color? I think that speakers or electronics that portray timbre and texture well are perceived by the mind as "colorful." |
