| Best Tubes For Cal Alpha DAC I purchased a used Alpha from someone via the net. While they sent me the original tubes, the unit arrived with some tubes in it that supposedly were purchased from Audio Research Corporation ( ARC ). Since i also own two different Sigma's ( 16 bi... | |
| Assemblage 3.1 vs. EVS Millenium II DAC It's a new piece as i have never done business with him before. I'm just curious as to how it will stack up compared to a tube based DAC ??? I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see... Sean> | |
| Party At Albertporter s I bet Albert's eyes grew big as oranges when he saw this one : ) I think that the only time that he wouldn't laugh about it is when people started showing up at his door : ) Sean> | |
| Belles vs Marsh I'll give it a shot, but let's do it in its' own thread. It will probably get more coverage that way with a bigger circle of participation and learning. Sean> | |
| Dedicated line vs. power conditioner Craig, thanks for presenting "the other side of the coin". Kind of funny how some things that work so well in one installation can reverse so quickly in another situation. I'm assuming that you still had the same components and were using the Tice... | |
| Assemblage 3.1 vs. EVS Millenium II DAC My Millennium II is leaving Ric's shop next week. I hope it is as good as we've been expecting. Sean> | |
| Amp "Hum" caused by dimmer switches Thanks for filling me in Albert. Sounds like you have an absolutely killer system in every way possible. I hope i didn't come across as criticizing your suggestions. I've always found your comments and writing style completely enjoyable and well w... | |
| Difficulty Tilting Martin Logans Foward You did not mention if you have the speakers on cones, some type of platform, etc... As such, if it is sitting flush on the floor, you can go to your local hardware store and pick up some simple wooden shims. These come in little packages and can ... | |
| Amp "Hum" caused by dimmer switches Several comments on this one. 14 dedicated lines for an audio system ??? Talk about the potential for a ground loop !!!! That would have to be done very carefully. I'm assuming that Albert probably paid as much attention to having this done correc... | |
| Best Answer Ever: Steve McCormack I think that you'll find that more than a few designers / engineers / company figureheads frequent the Asylum on a daily basis. While this is nothing new, it IS good to see those involved in making the products keeping their ear to the ground. Sea... | |
| Logans and Heavy Metal? Since we've got some very different answers here, we obviously may have different standards. Since we partially covered what is "heavy", let's talk about what "loud" exactly is. How about mentioning what SPL you consider to be "loud enough" to do ... | |
| Goertz M12 sp cables - any good? Obviously i basically like the Goertz MI-2. I will say that it is no different than any other component or cable in a system though. As such, it might blend well or it might fail miserably. Only way that you'll ever know is to try them and find ou... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? Thanks to all you folks that are able to toss in a smile here and there. Even with all of the various dispositions that have made themselves known on this thread, i still enjoyed a few chuckles along the way. Sean> | |
| Belles vs Marsh While i have not heard the tubed Marsh pre, i do own the SS version. It is a pretty versatile linestage ( no phono ) with a very reasonable amount of inputs and dual outputs for ease of bi-amping. It also offers the convenience of a FULL function ... | |
| Stunned by a cable upgrade Gunbei: The Goertz worked well for me in that system. I also have other systems that the Goertz did NOT "do its thing" in. As the "shoot-out" that i did shows, you can pretty much EXPECT different results in different systems. Bear: I agree with y... |
