| EL34 upgrade Well, I just put 2 quads of the 6p3s-e in my amp and fired it up. right out of the box I have to say they sound more refined than my EH 6CA7 big bottles, and the bass is a bit tighter. It will be a while before they really open up but I can alread... | |
| EL34 upgrade Sweet! Thanks for the heads up. Just shot Jim an email. | |
| EL34 upgrade Well, he did recommend the Gold Lions as the number 1 tube, but he said the fat bottle EH were a good value for the price.As he said, a close runner-up to the Genalex. I agree. In my amp I can switch out for KT88 tubes, so I'm thinking of trying t... | |
| EL34 upgrade No one has mentioned the EH 6CA7--recommended by Jim McShane as a close runner up to the new Genalex. | |
| Rega Dac USB vs Toslink I've already noticed a couple of things: the iTunes plus files sound just as good as rebook cd, and the cd's I rip to the computer in AIFF sound better streaming from iTunes into the dac than from my cd transport. Interesting. Looks like the dac's... | |
| Rega Dac USB vs Toslink My silflex cable arrived, so I downloaded pure music and some free hi rez sample files. Pretty freakin' amazing, I must say. I'm sold on using the computer as a music server. | |
| Best nearfield monitor? I'm wondering how the smaller version might sound; it seems a bit more market-friendly. | |
| Rega Dac USB vs Toslink I'm just starting down that path. I have had a Rega DAC for some months now, listening to redbook cd's through my old cd player, which I use as a transport. I just ordered a Silflex glass toslink cable and will start there. will try that as is fir... | |
| CJ Iron Vintage question There's also a master builder named Jim Nicholls who does something similar. I have one of his hand-made el-34 amps, but this one is built from scratch. | |
| Rega Dac USB vs Toslink I was always under the impression that toslink had more jitter than usb. | |
| Musical Fidelity V-Link with Rega DAC REVIEW I also have a Rega DAC, which I have only used for CD playback thus far. I just purchased a refurbished macbook, however, and am interested in the V-Link. I have a few basic technical questions. Do you just need one coaxial spdif cable, connecting... | |
| W4S or Rega Dac - Opinions Wanted I have a question for rega dac owners. do you use the usb--spdif converter, or a toslink connection for streaming from your computer? Which brands do you prefer? | |
| What makes a speaker too big for a given room? FWIW, I have a pair of Dali Helicon 400's in a smallish room, and they sound quite nice at low and mid-volume levels! I have a CJ PV-15 pre-amp feeding into a JWN tube amp, which has 8 el34 output tubes. Lance Cochrane estimate it at around 100 wa... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Thanks for the feedback. I may give those Lore's a try. BTW, here's a pic of my amp:http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1443421242667.2062517.1147196690&type=3#!/photo.php?fbid=1768468568647&set=a.1443421242667.2062517.1147196690&... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I have a question. I'm currently running Dali Helicon 400 speakers with a hand made JWN tube amplifier rated somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 watts per channel--8 el34 output tubes. I'm curious how the Lore's would sound with this particular a... |
