| 6SN7 tube question Cdrc,"Why don't you call Rogue and purchase exactly what Mark O'Brien, the gentlemen who designed the piece would suggest instead of listening to all the patrons in the euphonic coloration."Because no two people hear the same or have the same idea... | |
| Thoughts on Overlord 12AX7-HD / ECC803S-HD tubes The only way to know for sure is to listen to them, of course, but I'm skeptical of tubes that come in fancy packaging and use crystal technology. The guy selling them has some other nice tubes for sale, though.$400 can buy a pair of really good 1... | |
| Speaker suggestion for Pass Labs Int-150 Mareri031, Before you start spending money on other parts of your system, take your Pass INT-150 over to your friend's house and substitute it for his Onkyo amp. If the sound quality doesn't improve, there is a problem with your amp.If there is a ... | |

| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium I think you'll like the 30.8! Let us know what you think after you've had some time to listen. When you get around to it, try some NOS tubes as well. They can help dial your system in to right where you want it. Kevin Deal is who I would talk to a... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Tswisla, You're welcome. I think you have a really nice system and I would just enjoy it. If you still get the urge to tweak it now and then, you could try a little tube rolling. You probably know that Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio is the distributo... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium The PrimaLuna / XA 30.8 combo would sound significantly different compared to the INT 150. IMHO, the PrimaLuna / XA30.8 would be the way to go, but it would help if you would tell us what speakers you are using, how your system sounds to you and w... | |
| Just listened to Street Life by the Crusaders I used to enjoy it too. I'll have to dig it out one of these days. | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Gammajo, The problem with SACDS is the low number of them available. Before investing in an SACD player I'd check out Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct and ebay to see if there are enough that you want available to make the cost of an SACD player wort... | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Jon2020, I believe that's what Gammajo said here:...SACD can hold its own with all the new high res download formats, making the performance and recording quality more of a factor in hearing stellar, engaging sound than what high res format it is in. | |
| Tubes, old and new You're welcome Bdp24. You are most likely to see Phillips tubes with the "New Code" etched into the side of the glass near the bottom (top drawing at the bottom of page 3), using the top two "Examples of "correct code" format." So you can skip all... | |
| Tubes, old and new Yes, back in the heyday of tubes manufacturers put their labels on tubes made by someone else, but it wasn't with bad intent. Tubes cost a couple of bucks back then and most people didn't care if they had an RCA or a Mullard in their tv or radio.I... | |

| Audiogon etiquette question Good manners are not the rule on Audiogon as many of the replies to your post demonstrate. It does seem odd that someone would list an item and then disappear for a few days. Odd behavior before the sale often means odd behavior after the sale.Che... | |
| Van Morrison "Duets" Well I guess I'm the odd man out, but I recently saw Willie inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame (Do we really need another HoF?). Willie sang with Emmylou Harris and Lyle Lovett and it made me cringe. I have been a fan of all these a... |
