| Angle of Sonus Faber Olympica I stands? No need to reinvent the wheel... Tilt based on your listening tests. I doubt SF used any scientific data to use shorter spike in the rear-probably just went to the parts bin and grabbed whatever short and long pointy, threaded thingies they had.... | |
| Talking about service! Doesn't surprise me. Time I've spoken with Peter, I got the feeling he's a good guy. Soundsmith is a first class operation. When I get around to the "final table" a Strain Gauge will be my choice. I keep the $399 Otello as my back up, "emerge... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid It would be interested having one of those to compare with my PS Audio PP. Other than being truly "off the grid" supplying the AC for the system, same principle. Looks like a less costly one too. I see you have a pair of "that brand" speakers... | |
| School Of Rock---"Highway Star" WOW!!! Perfect song in a sports car if you're not listening to the motor sing. The young lady is on the right path. | |
| Prima Luna evo300 owners My "false" statement should have read MISLEADING. It is MISLEADING the OP to state the PL is an amp you buy, only if you spend another $1500 worth of tubes. As mentioned, the OP should spend time at the PL site to get informed. | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. sksos-unfortunately, I'm not a user of the NVO-yet. Only been a distant admirer since it was the 15 minute internet darling years back! When I do the next table upgrade, the SPA will be on my list. They seem to be a rare animal on the used market... | |
| What I really hate about some music Instrumental(Classical & Jazz) never get's old. Pop and Rock took liberty in the 70's. Blatant in the 80's-S.O.P from then on. Young demographic genre's won't be popular/listened to otherwise. Maybe beneficial for the short attention spans? | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. " Plus they can run hot." Maybe this one is a little warmer than others, but small signal tubes compared to power tubes are not space heaters. Average units just 2-4 maybe? | |
| For Duke Ellington fans Duke was interesting just listening to him speak | |
| NRBQ live at The Doug Fir Lounge in Portland this Friday (tomorrow)! I think I popped in there for a drink during a business travel couple years ago? Too bad the "timing" wasn't for this. Enjoy it! | |
| Prima Luna evo300 owners It would be a good idea for the OP to study the PL website. It has plenty of information about the amps. There is more detailed info on tube use. Hopefully, the OP s recognizes he is being given subjective opinion i.e.- "I guess the last weaknes... | |
| Close, but no cigar ... WHATEVER you get, spend time to optimize room/speaker. After that, stay off audio forums to enjoy music. | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. ""What I can say if you want equal to Trumpet you need to look in the 20-50K$ price range That's some endorsement. No need to look for a used Herron, Manley Steelhead or an ARC Ref10 for that matter. I do believe in all the positive user commen... | |
| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. "This or that"-SS or tube threads never get far... It a subjective thing determined by the listeners ears-pretty simple. | |
| Troubleshooting Fosage Signature phono amp. "LOVE to EAT tubes FAST so checking tubes more frequent with tube tester than in poweramp is recommended." czarivey-since you mentioned it, I'm don't test tubes. Just replace something if I notice the SQ amiss. Some of the tubes are as old as the... |
