| New or used tube amp for $1,200 A much smarter purchase would be a used pair of Quicksilver 90 watt monos. | |
| Subwoofer Plug You can also stuff the port with drinking straws. It's tedious, but it can be done. However, fighting a component to this extreme usually means its days are numbered. These small subwoofers require high power and heavy EQing to reach their maximum... | |
| ARC LS25 with PASS X250 - bad match? Seems bright. The Dacmagic is known to be a little on the bright side. You can look for a warmer sounding digital cable, but the fact remains your DAC is not up to the level of the rest of your system, so the sound will always be compromised even if you tame it... | |
| Cheapest speaker cable with best bass Take a look at what REL provides for their speaker level connection. | |
| Budget vacuum tube preamp? Unsound, After reading your post I am thoroughly exhausted. There are so many things to think about. If I want to try a tube preamp in my system I just hook it up and see how it sounds. I did not realize there are so many technical things to consi... | |
| Is anyone interested some Sonus Faber Amatis? This is a funny post. I am surprised the Audiogon staff hasn't picked up on it yet. If you want to sell stereo equipment here you are required to advertise it. This site is for selling first and the forum is a bonus. If you want to advertise for f... | |
| Tube Amps and Cabling "Just moving from a solid state amp to tubes will have a sizeable & favorable impact on sound quality, much more so than a change in cables."This all depends on the speaker being used and your personal taste. There is always the possibility a ... | |
| Selling dispute. Please comment. "Put a pic of the item and let the buyer judge the condition and stick to the purchase"Spoken like a true ebay seller and your posts on this topic have been the least constructive. | |
| Selling dispute. Please comment. You guys are completely missing the point. It was discovered after the fact the manual is nothing special. However, the ad stated the amps included the original manufacturer's manual. Except when the amps arrived there was no manual. The buyer doe... | |
| Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks type music, any others? I agree with above posts, there is nothing like Dan Hicks. I have been a big fan since the early 70s. If you ever have the opportunity to see him live do it. | |
| Pre amp assist I disagree with Mechans' comment regarding ARC sounding like solid state. If you want to improve on your LS-8 and you like the Audio Research sound step up to one of the Reference preamps. | |
| What is the best loudspeaker for a small room? Agreed, not that small of a room when you consider 15x20 average. However, it all depends on how the room is configured and what furnishings. After downsizing I have a similar size room and I can tell you it has been a challenge. After trying nume... | |
| Selling dispute. Please comment. The real problem here is Jax misrepresented what he was selling. If Jax did his homework and knew from the beginning the amplifiers did not include a manual this problem never would have existed and neither would this thread. | |
| Ringing Sound In Tube Gear "we are a community which can rely on the knowledge, experience and good will of each other." Are you sure you are in the right place? | |
| Ringing Sound In Tube Gear Tubes with long plates tend to be more microphonic. With the system on and at idle you can tap on each tube with a pencil or you can tap on each tube with your fingernail to locate the microphonic tube or tubes. I have heard of microphonic output ... |
