| Maggie Disappointment 01-28-15: RaymondaRequesting that your dealer loan you a pair, imo, is not reasonable on a low ticket item. First, if he gave you his floor model he would not have any in store for others to hear. Secondly, if he gave you a new pair he would the h... | |
| Seems like the best "upgrade" for tube amps.... Worming up is illegal in my state | |
| Listening to Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue Midnight Blue is a good album indeed.If you like that one, check out God Bless the Child. Very nice as well. | |
| Advice - What turntable should I buy ??? In Austin there is Whetstone Audio on East 6th St., Brian carries Rega and Well Tempered turntables.Also Audio Systems on Koenig Rd. carries Rega and I'm not sure what else. | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed 10-22-14: AtmasphereThe need for blind tests illustrates to me just how little the bench measurements correspond to what we hear. If there was greater correlation, we would not need the blind tests at all. I was watching one of those detective/for... | |
| Best amplifier for magnapan mg12. These Maggies I suspect will dip down to much lower impedance like 2ohm or .5 ohm! So a amp that is stable down to 2 ohms should suffice. I'm pretty sure the Maggie impedance is pretty flat, very close to 4 ohms throughout. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... and Tekton also knew that the speakers didn't have holes but sent the grilles anyways. WOW! Another slap in the face....I'm pretty sure that if I had this problem and he sent me grills with posts, a quick trip to Home Depot and I'd figure out a wa... | |
| Hard-To-find Vinyl- Lucky finds 09-09-14: CzariveySebrof, What color is Muddy Waters 'Folk Skinger' label?The original would have a black label with white letters. It's an orange-ish color with a blue bar across, Chess label. | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Your saga sounds an awful lot like my Klipschorn saga. I tried darn near everything I could think of to no avail, hours and hours I spent. All the well-known tweaks and a bunch I made up myself. | |
| Hard-To-find Vinyl- Lucky finds I found two recently at a local Half Price Books:Stanley Clarke - School Days, Sealed $4. Muddy Waters - Folk Singer, Mint $8. This is not the Analog Productions reissue which I already have, but probably not the original release. I find that it's... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? 09-06-14: Tubes108Per Atmasphere components. Posting in a public forum personal correspondence demonstrates Ralph's lack of integrity.I disagree, he only posted what he wrote to you.Products as poorly made and as problematic as the Atmasphere amps... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Some of the Zu speakers have unusual impedances (I believe the Omen is 12 ohms), and I have always suspected that has something to do with amp matching, especially tube amps. I rewired my SET amp to the 16-ohm taps and thought the Omens sounded a ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? A friend recently got a used pair of the Audio Mirror amps, his have the 6H13C tubes, 20 watts PSET. Seems to like them a lot but I haven't heard them. I agree that 92db seems borderline with a low power SET. I have a 2A3 SET at about 3 watts that... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Sounds like you don't like your speakers. Many people do.I know I had to work a lot with mine, bottom spacing, tilt, all the usual things people seem to do with them. I thought I got them sounding pretty good. I've since moved on. Why are you mad ... | |
| How loud is loud? 08-21-14: BombaywallaIf you take 1 step closer to the speaker, the SPL will go up. If you take 1 step back, the SPL will go down. If you raise yourself 1 foot off the floor, the SPL will change Distance from the speaker matters.....I believe the p... |
