| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted So many variables, difficult to have some overarching opinion. I run 845 and 300B amps, used to own 2a3 mono blocks. The 2a3 amps had this 'lit within' quality, read transparency the other SET's don't have quite as much of, but then 845 has massiv... | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp I modded a PL amp some years ago, film caps, Takman resistors, this along with really nice NOS tubes, especially some of the good Svetlana EL34 from back in the day were very nice improvement. Sold it at market value, still running fine to this da... | |
| Tune of the Day Slaw's Secret Sister's recommendation reminds me of another of their great songs, "Little Again." | |
| Rel thump Likely sub amp or driver issue if you haven't changed any connections. | |
| Modern Covers of Classics Check out bands 'The Main Squeeze' and 'Leonid and Friends'. The Squeeze will blow you away with Led Zep, and other covers. Leonid, band from Russia does wonderful covers of Chicago, Carpenter, various 70's soul and funk bands. Both bands will chi... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement @no_regrets and others with smaller cd collections. Why would you bother with top flight cd player with so few cd's! I have well over 3k cd's, ripped them all to hard drive, this great option to add to streaming. As for cd mechanisms, got bur... | |
| Deals Gone Bad I've probably done well into the hundreds of audio transactions over ebay, audiogon, USAudioMart and individual dealers over many years. Quite a few have been international, only one issue and that was from seller in my home state. My greatest pr... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk I'm running the Thoress, reason I purchased was the unique design and features. Don't have a great deal of experience with phono stages, but Thoress plays at a different level than my ModWright SWP9.0SE and prior custom build tube stage wi... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I was just made aware of the 006, seriously considering trying one. Taking just the power supply upgrades alone, I'd expect a quieter, read more resolving, transparent and dynamic dac. Looks like the usb input may be improved as well. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? Will AI think of itself as human? Better be careful what you wish for! | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? I can foresee a time when humans won't make qualitative judgements vis a vis human vs. AI. Over time the lines will blur as to human vs. AI content, we won't be able to differentiate between the two. The vast majority of human interactions are re... | |
| Modifying a Coincident Dynamo Mk1 Increasing reservoir capacitance may give you the increased bass and mid bass you're looking for. Film bypass caps on electrolytic reservoir caps good for bass articulation. The other mods you've done or contemplating doing don't really change the... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? People really underestimating the abilities of AI going into the future. We are presently in the infancy stage of AI, AI will replicate all the emotion, imagination, skill and intelligence of living breathing humans ,however, it can never be a se... | |
| ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection High level is what REL's designed for, and my experience this best. I've experimented and continue to experiment with high level cables, thus far stock, Duelund tin plated copper, always Neutrik connectors not the cheapo copies. Both stock and Due... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread Better do your due diligence when it comes to tube purchases. A wide variety brands, hierarchy within brands, NOS vs. new, distributors, shippers. And then the vagaries of circuit design within the tube equipment. Blame for failures often confuse... |
