| How Do You Pronounce Thiel? I was stationed in Kentucky in the Army. My first name is Mike. I worked with a guy named MacFarland who they called Mac. I was the only one who never knew when they were saying "Mike" and when they were saying "Mac." The locals would say "Not you... | |
| GM70 SET? I got the parts and the case for my SET amp from Min as well. Great guy and reputation, super amps although I've never seen a GM70 amp made by him. http://tubeaudiolab.com/ | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Sabocat - I have a 2A3 SET and also recently a Manley Stingray. The Stingray uses 8 EL84 tubes for outputs. The Lores sound great on the SET but even better with the Stingray. I'm in a 12'x13' room, so the SET can play loud enough. The PPP adds a ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Just an FYI to those with Lores:I modified mine by lining ther upper cabinet with Dynamat Extreme, and in my system I am very pleased with the improvement. They sound more solid.I used the stuff they sell at Best Buy @ $90, enough to do 2 car door... | |
| New Tweek - Has anyone ever tried this? Did you try sitting on some? | |
| How to choose cables for my system I would suggest going to Radio Shack / Best Buy or similar to get low cost cables and interconnects to get you started playing music. Listen for a while (weeks) and then look here on the 'gon for used cables and interconnects within your budget. L... | |
| Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000 01-07-12: Loomisjohnson"almarg is unquestionably the smartest person on these forums. possibly in the world. therefore, you should follow his counsel."Sometimes I just scan down the thread to almarg's post to get the answer. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Great blog Socrates. I was there the other day and really enjoyed looking around. I noticed your pic on the Asylum looked like a Tri Corp. amp, maybe EL 34s? I have Lores and was pleasantly surprised when I went from a 4-watt SET to a 20/40 watt E... | |
| Efficient speakers with high powered ss amp? Like Bradluke0, I have run my Lores with a 4-watt SET, a 150 watt SS and now a 20/40 watt Manley Stingray. Different flavors but sounds good with all those amps. I believe that it's mostly due to the Lores being such an easy load that amps loaf al... | |
| What is your listening level? 01-05-12: CyclonicmanI find it amazing that many of you actually measure the db listening level. I guess I am missing something, since all of my life, I just turn up the volume to the level I enjoy. It may vary for different music, different days ... | |
| What is your listening level? Depends on the music, my mood, and A LOT on the time of day. I find I listen much lower early in the morning (6 am-ish) than I do later in the day. I had friends over a few weeks ago and we were listening kinda loud for a couple of hours, and I tu... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Singleguy - I agree with Morganc. In my smaller (12' x 13') room I need to be very careful with placement of both Omen and Lore to avoid too much bass. I think you would be surprised at the 10" driver they both use. Big enough for a big sound, but... | |
| Manley stingray and tannoy Hello Watchtimes - Did you buy a new Stingray II or a used Stingray?I just got a used Stingray (2010 model) and really like it. Cool looking amp and sounds great. I just wish there was a dimmer for the front panel logo, too bright at night. | |
| Dual volume control - it should be standard Inna - Why would you need to adjust for each album or song??I have found that moving one speaker in or our, left or right by only a few inches will compensate for room or hearing differences. Set that and forget that. Forever. | |
| What do you like in an inexpensive tube integrated I just got a Stingray under your budget and am very happy with it. You don't mention the speakers you'll use it with, which will make a difference. I read that it's best suited for easy to drive speakers, and I agree based on the (only) 2 sets of ... |
