| Depairately seeking 1980's Sovtek 6922's I am in the same boat as you. I tried the "new" Sovtek 6922's and they sound terrible to my ears. I have also tried the EH 6922 tubes and for now have settled on the JJ 6922 tubes. I am tempted to try the 6h23eb tubes but I have heard they can be ... | |
| purchasing a Scout/Scoutmaster: need input please I own a VPI Scout TT and had it with the Dynavector 20XL cartridge. The sound was truly very fast, detailed and magical. Unfortunately, the suspension collapsed on the cartridge (I bought it used) so I changed to a ZU/Denon DL 103 cartridge. While... | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal NEW UPDATE:I set up the Paradigm DSP-3100 subwoofer on Friday afternoon. After much tweaking I pretty much have the sound dialed in, but I may tweak just a bit more in the next week or so. I have the subwoofer cutoff frequency set at 60hz and the ... | |

| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I spoke with John DeVore and he said I don't need a subwoofer as the Gibbon 8 provide plenty of bass. He said to make sure the speakers are directly coupled to the floor. Since I have very thick carpet, I sliced the carpet (hope wifey doesn't find... | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I have 3 different brands of speaker wire on hand, the MIT was and has been the best of the bunch. 825 miles is the furthest I have gone in a day for audio equipment. The worst part is I drove through the New York to Washington corridor which has ... | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I bit the bullett and picked up the DeVore Gibbon 8 speakers which I bought off a fellow audiophile on Audiogon on Dec 30th.

| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal Yesterday, I drove 825 miles round trip to pick up a pair of DeVore Gibbon 8 speakers I bought off someone on Audiogon.

| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I picked up the pair of DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 8 speakers today from a gentleman on Audiogon.
