| Opinions needed; which is a better choice and why? Hi Meby, I cannot comment on the latest gear from AR however my LS7 replaced a Anthem pre2L I had. It a musical pre that tells me what my front end is doing. Currently using some tungsram tubes that are very good. I would like to tweak the couplin... | |
| Opinions needed; which is a better choice and why? Hello Meby, I have been reading about your quest and it looks like you have getting some good advise. My two cents: If you can try to audition some of the Meadowlark audio spkrs. I have the Kestrals and to me one of the best bang for the buck item... | |
| JJ EL34 or E34L Wow Clueless we must be on the same page. That's exactly what I did and ya no what? The music is sounding sweeter than ever. I got some siemans in yesterday and now I like what the JJ's are doing so much I don't want to take them out. But clueless... | |
| JJ EL34 or E34L Hi Clueless Yes I have installed the 3 E34L and 1 EL34 with no odd affects. I figured as long as the bias on all four are the same I should stay above water. I looked at all four tubes before plugging them in and they looked the same physically. S... | |
| Help needed. Welcome to the world of the glass bottles Ndmaitre. I have a all tube rig presently and thought about going back to solid state. Alas I don't think so. I will however be changing my digital gear. My dac is a little behind and will be upgrading in ... | |
| Does anyone know who makes/sells... Czapp I found a tweak that you may want to try. Get some large Dixie cups,cut a hole through them, slide your cables, and then turn the cups upside down(opening on the floor). I have my cardas cables dressed as such. Can't say much about sonics bu... | |
| Any info on fat bottle Ei tubes? Hello Khawk2 and thank you. The triode site is great! Lots of info for the newbie and the vet. As you said you want someone to be there for future sevice and that's important to me. | |
| Any info on fat bottle Ei tubes? Thanks Clueless for the info. The person selling these Ei's states he has a lot of them, so maybe they are relabled. I have enough EL34's presently but was curious as to what others might know. Good listening. | |
| Cabling ideas for Meadowlark Kestrals? I am using some Cardas Quadlink with Analysis 12 jumpers. I probably need to have all Cardas or all Analysis biwires to make things simple. The Cardas is a little lean in the bass but not enough to discourage. Powered by a Anthem amp 1. | |
| "Acoustic curtain" as a room divider Hi Powerste Your situation is similar to mine. My rig is in a loft. Quite small and with no back wall. Everything sounds ok but there are reflections from the large window directly behind the open area. I thought of some room dividers I saw in a J... | |
| How are tubes to be purchased in general? I agree with Weiserb. I recently blew a tube(while biasing) and thought a new matched quad was in order. But as stated above one tube, some biasing, and your back in business. I did manage to find another quad of the same tubes(JJ's) so now I have... | |
| Hi-fi CDP vs. DAC + entry CDP I had a experience the other day with my SF dac and a discontinued Cambridge CD6. As a player the 6 is very good. When I connected it to my dac the results were not so good. I was a little surprised with the tube output and build quality of the SF... | |
| SFL 2 humming issue You don't mention where the humming is coming from but I suspect the transformer. Have you tried to see if may be loose from the pc board. Also it may be a grounding problem. Do you use a pwr conditioner and if so what might be on the same line. S... | |
| Tubes - Sonic Signatures of brands; Opinions? Hello Morbius and happy New Year to you. Like you I try to get a sonic picture of the tubes I have tried. I am fairly new at tube rolling and at present have tried amperex,siemens,teles,valvo,svetlana,jan-philips,and elctro-harmonix. I like the am... | |
| Recommedations please for a power cord for amp. Look at the Tekline pwr cords. They have different models depending on your gear. I'm using pc-6 for my Anthem amp 1 and it sounds great. Check there web site or Jeffs Sound Values here on Agon. |
