| Best Neil Young Album? I simply can't pick one, depending on my mood almost all can be his best. I second the live concerts, I've lost count of the number I've been to, wish I could have live recordings of all of them. | |
| The black hole of component repair? I always keep backup equipment in a bedroom system. | |
| Suggestions for a transport under $1000 Try to find a Proceed cdd, very similar to the Mark Levinson No. 37. Same suspension mounted Phillips industrial transport, proprietary servo control and anti jitter circuit. Used 37's going for around 2k, Proceed around $800-1k. | |
| AES/Cary SixPacs - up grade tubes? I am currently running the Pearl Cryovalve SED el 34's in my Cary SLM 100's, worth the extra money over the regular SED el 34, both are better than the Svetlanas. Haven't heard the EH. | |
| Bi-Wiring with different lenghts? I have a tri-wired setup and recently demoed some 10' biwires which were connected to my mids and tweeters while 6' was wired to the woofer. I could not detect any anomolies. | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night Stehno makes a key point in that dedicated lines will not clean up the AC from outside your home, and unless you have a dedicated ground on that dedicated circuit you will still get feedback from other appliances in the house. I have 3 dedicated l... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS RF, I hung a cd player some years ago from my ceiling, at the time I thought the sound was better than any other placement. I remember reading some years ago that using monofilament fishing line was the best material for hanging, very interesting! | |
| Review: Purist Audio Designs Venustas and Opis Interconnect Jfrech, I just put the Venustas in my system, you are spot on with your review. The lowered noise floor and the bigger sound are what stood out most in my system. Still haven't come to a final determination as to their tonal balance, perhaps a bit... | |
| Tubed preamp suggestions? I am using Joule Electra La100 MK III with Cary slm100's with Alon Lotus se's, very nice! Carl voices the lotus with the cary 300's, can't go wrong with the Joule! | |
| Marantz 8260 vs benchmark DAC1 I can't speak to your specific inquiry as to the Benchmark, but I currently own the 8260 and Perpetual Tech. setup with Modwright Sig. mods. While the 8260 gives a warm and muscial presentation, it is not close to the transparency, detail, etc. of... | |
| mse Gen ll VS VH pulsar IC I currently own both of these interconnects, listening to both over many hours I have come to prefer the MSE's over the pulsar's in my system (tubed pre and amps). In my system the mse's are slightly more transparent and tonally balanced. However,... | |
| which power tube sounds better: EL34 or 6550 I would agree with Rcprince's observations. I have Cary slm 100's which can use el-34, 6550 or kt88. Harmonic richness is the el-34 strong suit, especially running triode, a little tubby on bass but the midrange and highs make up for it. I only us... | |
| Happiness is A Warm Set of EL34's I have Cary SLM 100's. I had Svetlanas, switched to the SED's, a bit warmer and harmonically richer. Cary also did a circuit modification to my 100's that decreased the amount of negative feedback, increased warmth, may be able to do same for you. | |
| I need to replace my E34 tube on my Audio Aero Amp Infinitebaffle is correct. I had been using the 'new' Svetlana's, recently switched to the SED's, harmonically richer, more transparent. SED's are the way to go. | |
