| 6h30 tube The NOS 6H30DR tube has been discussed at some length, but different people come to different conclusions. Some find no difference, some find a slight but insignificant difference, and some find a very important difference. So system and personal ... | |
| Anyone compared BAT Rex vs. Atmasphere MP-1? Maybe Victor's business partner can provide a view on the MP-1. This thread seems to be heavily biased towards the BAT... | |
| Summertime ss amp Question I read that the Bel Canto sounds just like a class A SS, OTL, SET, and triode amps. You really can't go wrong. | |
| Tripoint Spartan After another month of break-in time, the word that comes to mind is 'pure'. There is a clarity and beauty, like a finely cut diamond. Yet, everything is relaxed and effortless. Whereas the Troy added a beauty and palpability, the Spartan clears a... | |
| Anyone compared BAT Rex vs. Atmasphere MP-1? Raquel, just for clarification, the BAT should be left on standby when not in use? Just not 'on' 100% of the time. One could turn it off if going away for some time.I thought the initial surge of current into a cold tube was the detrimental factor... | |
| Anyone compared BAT Rex vs. Atmasphere MP-1? Sonic attributes of the Rex include:Very dynamic, clean, energetic.Highlights midrange texture and harmonies.Bass is excellent.Treble is open and extended.Noise is very low.Very powerful sound.Switch between 6C45 and 6H30 provides two flavors.Buil... | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Rule #1: View every person who walks in the door as a potential customer.SBS did not follow rule #1. Even in NY city, this rule still applies!Go to Goodwin's. I believe they really love audio there. I always felt they did everything possible to ma... | |
| HRS M3 vs Symposium Ultra platform I would suggest that the HRS does not have a sonic signature. It does not tip the top end to create hyperdetail. It does not add warmth to the midrange. It does not lower the bass. It simply removes component generated vibrations so you hear your ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond-Worth it? The diamond tweeter is absolutely sublime. When properly implemented in a speaker design, and optimized with the proper components, there is no going back. Maybe a touch unassuming at first, it is natural without drawing undue attention to itself.... | |
| Summertime ss amp Question Summer is almost over. Repost next year. | |
| Rockport Aquila vs Altair I consider a 21 x 21 foot room to be moderate size for a full-ranged speaker. The Altair is almost 3 feet deep. I would think both the speaker and the listener should be well into the room, with enough space for integration. I am thinking you woul... | |
| Rockport Aquila vs Altair Personally, I'd be reluctant to put the Altair in a room less than 65-70 sq meters, unless I got to hear it in my room first. | |
| Rockport Aquila vs Altair If I were in your shoes, and you were really serious about these speakers, I would go visit the factory in Maine and listen to these speakers under ideal conditions.Maine is beautiful in the early Fall, and they have excellent lobsters. If it has ... | |
| Audio Research REF 3 and REF 5 Tweaks I like EAT tube dampers on my 6H30s. The NOS 6H30 may be worth a try. I like to use a couple NOS 6H30s on the BAT, but feel that using all 8 is a bit too much. | |
| World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets I installed one a couple days ago. I'm going to let that settle in before I add the 2nd. There are 6 of these on the Spartan, but I cannot comment specifically on the outlet from that perspective. I'll report my findings in a short time.I know tha... |
