| Do vacuum tube test values reflect sound quality? @lewm +1 | |
| Do vacuum tube test values reflect sound quality? My experience is nope…testing or matching seems to have minimal impact on SQ especially with preamp tubes.Triodes that are unbalanced sound just as good as long as one side tests strong. Matching and gain balance on output tubes does matter more.... | |
| Netting Over Connectors - Do They Help? The best answer in these kind of topic discussions is … Just do an A B blind test to see for yourself if it makes a difference on your system if you really want to find out. Don’t listen to us bunch of old crotchety, tinnitus ridden, overly opin... | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? Speakers are the one component I am very careful and selective to purchase since they are so difficult to resell especially with shipping. Guaranteed to take a bath on resale💰. Those cube drivers and speaker parts/wire etc…are close to the price... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. I had this same issue with a new pair of DIY single driver speakers. Break-in did help some but not enough. Repositioning speakers did nothing. Switching to warmer tubes did very little but some. Switching from 4 ohm to 8 ohm speaker connections a... | |
| Western Electric 300B Tube Problems Due to the price and history of failures with the WE 300b tubes I opted for a pair of used “like new” Psvane Acme 300b’s in my Aric Super SET 300b amplifier. Aric recommended either the WE or Acme as his top 2 preferred tubes in his amp. I couldn’... | |
| Shipping costs- WTF I discovered Pirate Ship a few months ago and will never look back. Great alternative with much better pricing, print your labels at home and it’s just a drop. Eerrrrr! | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? I find it amazing how my listening level of DB-C at 10 feet back in an open 16x22 room is 40-60’s depending on genre and a track’s recording quality. Approaching 70 DB-C and it starts getting uncomfortable and less enjoyable. I cannot fathom lis... | |
| Sonido Field Coil Driver Speaker @superchunk yes indeed it is a superb driver. Now with over a month of use it has settled in nicely. I did try a few tweaks with tubes and speaker cables to dial in the mid-highs as my system is quite transparent. I recently made some Duelund/Co... | |
| Duelund speaker cable Just made a 2m set of speakers with Duelund DCA10GA. I twisted + and - within a 7mm cotton sleeve with bananas at the amp with bare wire at the speakers. Out of the box without break-in these cables are just a “Wow” just great sounding. Music j... | |
| New Fritz Speakers: Carerra R Price and high fatigue feedback may be major contributors…Last I heard you can contact Fritz and work with him to special order non-returnable floor standing speakers. If interested, it would be worth a call to see if he offers them anymore…but b... | |
| The Music Room - Boulder Colorado Same experience here as many have posted. Had an excellent experience buying from them. Good price and excellent service. Their offers to buy components are low and you are much better off selling on your own if you are willing to do the legwork. ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @brbrock Read this on line…“The PCM58 DAC chip is a true multi-bit R2R (Resistor Ladder) DAC and not a Delta-Sigma DAC” |
