| 6sn7 or 6sl7 Make that Brimar, not Brimsr. | |
| 6sn7 or 6sl7 And I should also mention another favorite 6SL7 variant---Brimsr CV1985. In the right application it too is superb: fast, airy and detailed and very deep tight bass. A little hard to find but worth grabbing when you see one. A real workhorse too. | |
| 6sn7 or 6sl7 There are so many varieties of 6SL7 and 6SN7 tubes available that it is hard to generalize. But one thing I would say is certain: for a hobbyist, as opposed to a manufacturer, use only vintage Old Stock. Why bother with modern reissues when supe... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Analog Instruments Siggwan is a 12" unipivot well-suited to your cartridges. | |
| Harbeth 40.1 - Need some tips on placement from current owners. What output tubes are in your Von Gaylord amps? | |
| Great Flugelhorn Recordings Lots of great recordings with Art Farmer on flugelhorn. In fact, I would recommend any LP with Art Farmer. | |
| Harbeth 40.1 - Need some tips on placement from current owners. Do you now have 40.1s Granny? I have never heard them but I have been very impressed with the 30.1 and Super HFl5+ at the Capital AudioFest. I still love my Spendor SP100s which are similar to the 40.1. | |
| New format, dislike..... At first I was quite negative about the forum changes, but as time goes by the problems are being corrected and I am getting more comfortable with it. I am perhaps most impressed by the quick responses to complaints and questions. Somebody is ac... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today LarryI, as a matter of fact I have tried a Jensen RP-302 tweeter to fill in on the extreme treble; however, I was never satisfied with the blend with the 802/32A. My crossover includes a small HF boost circuit that helps make the 802-8G closer to... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today LarryI, your speaker is hardly modest. I am sure it sounds very nice by any standard. My own vintage speakers are further down the scale. As you may recall, I use a 15" Jensen P15LL woofer in a sealed cabinet similar to the Western Electric 753... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today Doug Schroeder needs to hear an "extreme" (his word) vintage speaker system. If he does, I predict he will change his opinion that vintage is only suited for "lower end systems" (his words). To be clear I am not talking about speakers you will f... | |
| 12" Tonearms for TD-124 I used a Schick with my TD-124 using both a Denon 103R and Miyajima mono cartridge. It works ok but I encountered some noise issues with the Schick/Thorens combination, pretty much the same thing Art Dudley described in his review of the Schick. ... | |
| I Dislike new format Recent Activity no longer includes updates and comments on Virtual Systems. This is a major problem as far as I am concerned. | |
| New Forum Format Sucks Agreed! Who in their right mind thought this was an improvement? | |
| Questions on KT150 tubes What sonic differences do you hear in the KT-150s compared to the KT-120s? I have been running KT-120s in my Emotive Audio amps for a couple years but no tubes last for ever. When replacement time rolls around, I am wondering what to expect if I g... |
