| Sequential Tube Monoblocks You bet it does.. Tubes, resistors and caps were made with sequential batches. Channel balance will be off if not. | |
| Tube microphonics "Someone told me on another site that if I move the amps beside the speakers and not in front of them , my system will improve immensely." Oh brother... to much audio internet info. Not saying a tube can become microphonic, but that looks like p... | |
| How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups? Nothing mysterious going on here... Morrow could offer the exact "discount" without the taking the trade in and STILL make the same profit. Purely a marketing thing. At the retailer end-I've seen a dealer list, cable markup is HUGE. End of the... | |
| Better Records vs MoFi " He does provide a service for folks with more money than sense...." As if THIS hobby is "sensible?" Spending a mere $500 for a WHS in the context of one's setup doesn't come off as off putting to me. Isn't it simply how wide your wallet is in... | |
| Better Records vs MoFi Check the deadwax on your copies. You want to start with this one https://www.discogs.com/release/1282796-Heart-Dog-Butterfly The hard part is finding the quiet copy. | |
| Simple question, probably stupid Your question is more an example of too much information on the internet. "Broken in " tubes are just an enhancement(if at all)to an already good piece of equipment. Enjoy your new amp and limit audio forum time. | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? Oh no.....!!! Another "Why don't you post pics of your system?" thread. There are members that offer valuable information/advice WITHOUT system pics. I could care less if a member has their setup in their profile. | |
| Better Records vs MoFi " if I gathered 50 Mofi copies of Dark Side of the Moon, would there be a white hot stamper of them?" "So my answer is forget 50, you will go through everything MoFi ever pressed, every single copy, and not find one. Not a single one. Not from Mo... | |
| Your experiences with system synergy "I plugged my own amp in, the one I was expecting to replace, and there was an immediate sense of rightness" Not surprising. Doesn't that suggest your existing amp has a baseline build that will create a desired sound? You just didn't hear "the o... | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated Do you mean the honor system doesn't exist? I store all my 1957 vintage tubes, cables and fuses in the garage freezer until needed. | |
| Better Records vs MoFi "They have the most valuable information advantage and historical knowledge of anybody in the world on LP’s that fit their model." Good grief...nice plug. Lets all shill for Better Records! There's nothing special about what Better Records does... | |
| Better Records vs MoFi Study the discogs info on the album you want. It's all in the deadwax. It's simply effort, luck and timing to find a good condition 1st/early press. Some genres/artists are unobtanium now due to demand and age. Nothing special about Better Rec... | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications "I’m looking for improved leading edge on plucked string instruments, especially basses, excellent timbre on everything. " txp1- I'm a long time(50 years) guitar player. I've seen the "leading edge" description used here and there, but never und... | |
| VPI felt mat vs aftermarket " I tried using VPIs stainless steel screw down clamp with rubber gasket, but I don't find it performing any better than HRX weight with warped records" dmk_hifi - the amount of dish provided by the clamp/washer is limited by the degree/area of w... | |
| How does this forum feel about original house music and live DJing? Definitely a NOT in demand genre within the audio enthusiast crowd. More of 20 something, event/club going, iPhone user demographic? A repetitive/ predictable mix of sound effects to my ears. There's a fan for everything. |
