| KT 88 with Leben cs 600 The KT88 and the EL34 are not directly interchangeable. Although some amps can handle both types of tubes. Your Leben is not designed for the KT88. I would call the importer and ask that question. | |
| Has anyone truly compared Vintage vs. Modern? They don't make them like they used to...and it's a good thing. One thing of note is that the old power transistors are not made anymore. They have been replaced with better sounding designs. NPN/PNP/JFET/MOSFET/FET all have been designed and impr... | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. You have heard this before; "The preamp is the heart of a system". You can argue that from many angles, but millions of audiophiles are not wrong. | |
| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? Did the original post guy have any changes to his? Yes, he had pushed the banana plug in too far and it was contacting elements. Your issue may be different. I didn't like my Mac 402 with my .7 Maggies. Much better with a Parasound A21 and a l... | |
| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build Do you have to tools to measure your loudspeaker? | |
| How much is about the recording ...we sort of need a few in each gendre, maybe even including Country... Jamey Johnson "That Lonesome Song". Album of the year, not one bad cut. | |
| How much is about the recording Only a deluded fool believes their system can make a bad recording sound good. Given enough tools, I'm pretty sure I could make a bad recording at least sound acceptable. But I still agree with what you are saying. | |
| Butcherblock Acoustics "feet" effecting sound and isolation Dang, I'm going to sound like Amir. The right way to do this is measure the frequency and amplitude of the device you want to isolate. The next best is to put your gear on solid bases and hope you are addressing the issue. I've been dragging a 200... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @russ69 I used the smiley, I was joking. Me too! | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room A pair of Paradigm PW600 active speakers have everything you need to get started. A small bookshelf speaker is not going to fill your room, it's too big. I recommended large arrays that push a lot of air. Perhaps a Dali Phantom S280 or a Focal ... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries my 90s Hungarian LPs are absolute crap while 70s and 80s are delightful. So much for capitalism :) I wouldn't condemn an entire economic system based on a few bad LPs. :) | |
| How much is about the recording i.e. WHICH, Diana Krall version of "Garden in the Rain" Love Scenes Impulse CD IMPD-233 What does the noise suppression in garden in the rain sound like? The tape hiss like noise is fully suppressed, then as she takes her breath, you hear t... | |
| What cables to use. I’d go HDMI but with the TV as the source, it isn't going to matter that much. | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries ...and the entire mastering to lacquer might take place at each pressing plant, or just some pressing plants. Again, depends. A lot depended on how many units they thought would sell. If caught short they may run the stampers longer or make new... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries Also, could they have also sent the mothers, stampers? I could be wrong, but the master tapes are not going anywhere. The master disc is made from a lathe cut lacquer and they can make a few masters if needed. I think I said it wrong earlier. T... |
