| Tube tester recommendation! Here’s a link to some info about picking a tube tester. This site appears to be current although I heard that Roger had some health problems a while backhttp://www.alltubetesters.com/articles/tester_guide.htmAlso if you want to test tubes from the... | |
| Martin Logan Montis vs Magico S1 vs sub with Micro Utopias One more thing, MLs are a tough speaker to drive. You need a stout amp. If its solid state it should double down from 8 to 4 ohms and even better double again to 2 ohms. If you haven't read the thread, "My Long List of Amplifiers and My Persona... | |
| Martin Logan Montis vs Magico S1 vs sub with Micro Utopias I don't know if this will help but ... the Montis is neutral but not lean sounding. In the past I had always bought speakers that were a little on the warm side because I dislike lean, thin or cool sound. My speakers before the MLs were Dali Hel... | |
| Polycarbonate Disc Bliss: The CD is alive and well leemaze, They're all available on cd. Tidal is a great way to find music that you would never hear otherwise. Then you can decide if one or two listens is enough or if you need to buy the cd. | |
| Martin Logan Montis vs Magico S1 vs sub with Micro Utopias I don’t have the experience of Dave and Troy, I just want to comment on the Montis. I have heard others also say that they do not have great dynamics, but unless dynamics are really important to you, they will probably be good enough. They will no... | |
| Polycarbonate Disc Bliss: The CD is alive and well I found a couple of artists in Tidal’s Folk/Americana genre that I think are pretty good sonically and musically:Chelsea Williams - BoomerangRobert Francis - Indian SummerThese are not what most people consider folk music. Both are pretty electron... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal Well wakethetown, your system is definitely 21st century audiophile quality. I would say that your cd player and the Node 2 are the weak links in your system. They are good quality but not at the level of the rest of your system. Digital playback,... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal wakethetown, The Node 2 is a $500 streamer and DAC. It will give you good but not great sound. You will probably be able to distinguish some but not all MQA albums with it. It’s not one of the "giant killers" we hear about from time to time. If th... | |
| Very Sensible Audio Advice Good advice but I think you can find all of it in these forums. The people who offer it are usually ignored and the guy who KNOWS that you should buy these speakers or whatever because they are the greatest (and he owns them), gets the responses. ... | |
| Why does all new pop music sound the same? All new, rock and pop music, as good as any old fogy music Will anyone still be listening to those groups in 40 to 50 years? Probably not, but it could happen. Will anyone get out their old rap records when they're 50 and play them for the grandk... | |
| Musician vs. audiophile Let your ears be your guide. There's nothing wrong with McIntosh and ML. | |

| Does a tube need the break-in hours? niodari, unless your old tubes were exposed to extreme conditions like very hot and cold temperatures, they should be OK. Fifteen years is not much to a tube. Tubes from the 40s still work fine. You may need to have your Stingray checked out. ... | |
| Michael Fremer's system Fremer addresses the replies he has gotten to this video in the Jan. Stereophile. He mainly talks about people criticizing him and Stereophile because they don’t do blind listening tests, but there is something he says that is applicable here:"Whe... | |
| Live show audience noise Audiences have become increasingly rude and noisy, ruining not only live recordings but concerts as well. Unfortunately, asking the audience not to make too much noise only alerts the idiots who want to hear themselves on the record.I don’t think ... |
