| Can you lower gain requirements on tube amp? 2 other things -- I like to run in triode over UL, though UL gives me a 2db boost. Also, does voltage into the TVC affect volume? ie if I had a source with higher output would it increase volume? My current cd player is rated at 2V, +/-3dB output. | |
| Tonian Labs TL-D1 Tholt: I don't know if there is a demo policy but just call to see. Thanks for the info. I'll give them a call. Interesting that I had read another thread which mentioned these speakers as very good (I had never heard of them), and then your threa... | |
| Tonian Labs TL-D1 I live in CA. Do you know if they have a demo policy? | |
| Tonian Labs TL-D1 Nonoise, where did you purchase them from? And what type of amp are you using? I'd love to demo a pair | |
| Hybrid vs. Straight Tubes I'll add that I had 3 different tubed preamps in front of my SS amps over the time I owned them, none of the combinations have come close to the character of the tube amp/passive pre combo I'm running now. The magic IME lies in tubed amplification. | |
| Hybrid vs. Straight Tubes Have owned SS up until just a few days ago, when I had and took the opportunity to trade my Nuforce class D 160w mono's for a Cary Rocket 88R (30w triode/60 ultralinear). Despite the low power rating I notice no degradation in sound quality, even ... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP If that last one posts, I meant you get a lot FOR the $. Very well built, nice passive | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP I'm demoing it. You get a lot of the $ | |
| Impossible? Small towers, efficient, musical, loud Upstate, i see in your system you use or used Hawks. What did you think of them? You mentioned in one of your posts that bass was light. Care to venture how low they went? Totems are on my short list, though I've not heard them. | |
| Has anyone ever switched to Harbeth i think as Jaybo pointed out, the OP is bored, and has also answered his own question. | |
| Has anyone ever switched to Harbeth I really like the 3.4's. I just hear so much about Harbeth nowadays I just wanted to give them a try. So do it. Pretty obscure thread. | |
| Cary Rocket 88R bias setting with EL34 tubes? Interested in what you learn, Halo. I just bought this amp, pls post your findings. | |
| Impossible? Small towers, efficient, musical, loud Kclone those look like promising speakers. Small and efficient. Did some reading and Vince from Red Wine Audio seems to really like them, which tells me that they'll prob sound good with my 30W of power. Thanks for the tip.I should mention that I ... | |
| Solid State Preamp for Nuforce 9SEV2 Well I sold the Shindo and am waiting to receive a Ref TVC 4 to pair with a tube amp. This from a previous Shindo/Nuforce set up (don't think it really justice to the Shindo). The merry go round continues, love the ride... | |
| Impossible? Small towers, efficient, musical, loud Either my last post got lost in space or Audiogon hates me (they didn't like the last swear word I slipped in another post). Appreciate all the room correction suggestions (those never go out of style) but I've tweaked my room about as much as I c... |
