| How to obtain, much better sound? As far as the sp9 mk2,I had one awhile back and if my memory sevres me right I switched the stock tube to a Gold Aero (platinum Yugoslavian ). They worked well for me,getting a warmer sound than the brightness/leanness I originally got from the AR... | |
| How to obtain, much better sound? I tend to agree with the Svetlanas EL34.' I like them a lot also. You may want to try Tube World which has Cry'od Svetlana EL 34 Quads at a reasonable fee. This maybe a good choice over the frustration of NOS tubes... | |
| Blue Circle Music Ring Thanks For the replies : I have joined the Blue Circle Forum and will keep an eye on that. I do have 4 dedicated 20 amp lines,and am also considering upgrading my standard hospital grade recepticles to maybe one of the 20 amp cryo'd peices. My sy... | |
| 360 degree radial speakers and imaging... I had the oportunity awhile back to hear the MBL $30,000 omni directional speaker being driven by MBL Monos'. Given the proper set-up ( which they were ) they sounded truly amazing.The most amazing to me was the sonically dissapearing cabinets and... | |
| VMPS Super Tower III vs. Pipedreams I owned a pair of Vmps super towerR a ways back and only had them for awhile.I found the big for sure but they only sound good to me when they were blasting.They were not involving at all.Gave up on trying to get them damped on the downfiring woof... | |
| NOS tubes, why can't modern tubes sound better? I do think some poeple are finding out that you can increase the performance/and longevity of a modern day tube by having it cryo treated.This will bring the so called cheap tube much closer to the NOS tube. Companies like Tube world sell cry'od t... | |
| Adcom ACE 515 problem I would send it back or at least call Adcom to find out from them. They are the best source to ask this problem. I don't think anyone would care to purchase it with a possible future problem, and you also maybe ending up with a unsatisfied buyer (... | |
| Are both mini-stealths the same? My guess is that one is filtered for digital intended for cd players,dacs and digital devices. The other would be intended for equipment other than digital devices. Being they are "minis" some people wish not to spend the $$ for the full blown Ste... | |
| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? I have also done the same thing. I also love Patricia Barber. Try an album from, Teirney Sutton called "Something Cool". Great Album. I used to love Diane Krall until I heard the Barber and Sutton albums and I too seem to go to them all the time. | |
| FAST and NOT THIN sounding PC recommendation? Zu cable mother.Great pc for the buck | |
| The Best kept Secret in Speaker Cables please? I must confess that I may be the one ( or one of the ones ) that let the cat out of the bag. I tried Ridge Street Audios' cables and loved them before most anyone new them. I mentioned them in the Audio Asylum and some people pretty much called me... | |
| Speaker position???? I started with the 1/3 rule and went from there.speakers 1/3 in from front wall--- listening position 1/3 in from back wall (behind chair) Speaker seperated aprox same distance as from listening postion to create a tringle. Then adjust slightly as... | |
| Kharma Ceramique 1.1 vs JM Labs Alto Utopia I am very happy using only 30 watts. Thor TPA30 with the Kharma 1.0. I do think quality of watts are more important than the amount. ( in my opinion ) The Kharmas are my last stop for loudspeakers. I like them that much,but as the last guy said yo... | |
| Kharma Ceramique 1.1 vs JM Labs Alto Utopia Tough to call. I think ( to me ) the Kharma is a more a intimate type speaker that really shines when one listens at modest listening levels and which delivers a gorgeous balanced musical sound. To me bass slam is not its strong suit. Dynamics and... | |
| Best footers for TEAC P-30 transport? Try Vibrapods! They work great and are very cheap too. |
