| Klinger Favre Hi,One of the greatest tube's forum on the web (elektor.fr) have some of its members using Klinger-Favre's speakers. A member of that forum talked to me with so much enthousiasm about these speakers that I start to be very curious. So I have read ... | |
| Rogue amps-- try 5751 instead of 12ax7 Hi Facten,Just to make it clear, I was talking about KT77 not KT88. KT77 are an exact equivalent of the EL34. I have no experience regarding Genalex KT88. Since you suggest me the Shuguang Black Treasures El34, I'll consider them and maybe give th... | |
| SME 20/3 or TW Acustic Raven One Do you put your hand somewhere for cueing? If so, you can't do this on the Raven, so go with the SME.Simple as absurd...Sébastien | |
| Lyra and VPI Scout A friend of mine had this combo for a while. It was a superb match. Actually, he had a deal at our local dealer and he just bought a VPI Classic, still with the Lyra. I heard his system two weeks ago and the sound is excellent.Sebastien | |
| Rogue amps-- try 5751 instead of 12ax7 On my side, I've received one week ago a pair of GE 5751 1960's (grey plate, triple mica, 5 stars). I placed them in my Cronus instead of the 12AX7 and they are wonderful. Surprisingly, it adds an improvement on bass. Plus, voices are beautifully ... | |
| To SME or not to SME? To Sksos1, this is strange but it happens in audio. The opinions regarding SME tables are either an "analytical and cold sounding table" or a "musical and warm sounding one". I've just spend the last weeks reading on SME subject since the 10 inter... | |
| To SME or not to SME? Some of you talk about the advantage to buy directly in UK and that you don't have other fees beside shipping for a turntable. This is for USA. As I'm living up North in Canada, is there anyone with such buying experience living up here? If so, fe... | |
| To SME or not to SME? Is there any advantage to buy from Southwest Analogue in the UK compared to your local dealer?Sébastien | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus 12AU7-12AX7 tubes choices Is there any of you that use 6211 tubes instead of the 12AU7? I know that they are not compatible with every amplifier but when they can, they are a good improvement. | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus 12AU7-12AX7 tubes choices Anonymoustao,Well, let's continue off topic because I don't have other way to communicate with you. First, I still use Harbeth SHL5 and I really appreciate them. In the last year, I had the chance to try many amplifiers with them. I had a great ti... | |
| Leben Owners: which speakers do you use? I'm just coming back from Montreal's SSI 2011 hifi show. One of the best sound of the show, for my taste, was Devore's new Orangutan 0/96 paired with a nice Leben CS300, a Brinkmann's Bardo turntable and the Leben phono stage.This was a perfect ma... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus 12AU7-12AX7 tubes choices I agree with the above comments about enjoying the amp "as is" for a while. I'm doing this since I have it and I already have many hours of intense listening on it. At that time, I'm looking for tube suggestions from you "Goners" as I want to have... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus 12AU7-12AX7 tubes choices Thanks for your suggestions. For sure, I'm also planning to upgrade the power tubes with SED Winged "C". I already had Winged "C" KT88 with another amplifier and the improvement over Valve-Art stock tube was incredible.I'm very happy with the Cron... | |
| Speaker cables for Harbeth monitors Since the answer to your question has been covered by many on the Harbeth User Group, I suggest that you take a look to this forum. You'll access it via Harbeth's website. | |
| What cables for luxman I had the Luxman L-505u for less than a year and I used the Nordost Red Dawn's XLR with my cd player and the Bis Audio Cuivre-S RCA from my phono preamp to the amp. Appart from the gain which is higher with the XLR, I found no advantage with the X... |
