| Vintage Speakers That picture...ouch!! | |
| Is this nuts? I was going to discuss what I think of the Gallo Refs but after Shaman's entry, think I'll go beat my wife instead... | |
| Cary CAD-572SE MK2 Way back then I got the tubes directly from Cary but I don't think they are still in production - may be wrong, though. | |
| Cary CAD-572SE MK2 I paid $75.00 per 572 tube about 5 years ago. | |
| Cary CAD-572SE MK2 As a former owner of 572SEs (about 5 years ago) I suggest you quickly buy as many output tube pairs as are available. I don't think they are made anymore and the life expectancy tends to be about 9-10 months. Get 'em while you can.By the way, I al... | |
| Anyone talked to Dean from PSE? Anyone heard from Meadowlark? I expect to hear of more high end guys going under over the next few months - this economy is getting brutal. | |
| Joule vzn 80 or 100 for merlins? Jim,There is a thread here somewhere in which Bobby recommends someone to get the "music box" version if possible because the standard one sounds a little fuzzy and indistinct by comparison. You'd have to search "Merlin speakers" to get the exact ... | |
| Joule vzn 80 or 100 for merlins? I checked it out - the DeH. now uses a Russian GM-70 output tube which I had never heard of. I think it one that was used in their tanks. | |
| Joule vzn 80 or 100 for merlins? By "not an OTL" I meant they were transformer coupled, not OTL. Hmmm...Does anyone know of an SET ciruit OTL? Also, I thought the DeHavillands had switched from 845s to a more obscure output tube. Am I wrong about this? My memory is that they went... | |
| An Extraordinary Find Joe - Any stand mounted designs yet? Also, are you still using the OTLs? | |
| Joule vzn 80 or 100 for merlins? They use a large and strange SET tube, the name of which I can't think of. They are SETs, not P/P or OTLs. | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Perp Tech P3-A DAC w/ full WrightMod - Used. I bought a Bel Canto DAC2 thinking it would be better, it wasn't. The PT sounded strikingly similar except for a more open and airy top end.Placette Passive - I replaced it with Joule Electra LA150 whic... | |
| Front Ported vs. Rear + Distance from wall Bojack and Larry are both right - usually front ported speakers are easier to place but it all depends on the individual speaker, room, and tastes. Unfortunately, the only way to know as regards a particular speaker is to try it in your room. | |
| CAT versus Joule Preamp At $5,250.00 the Joule LA-150 is a superb pre and, in my system, betters the C-J 16LSII by a large margin. It is pure, transparent, and sweetly musical at the same time. Does have damn good bass as stated above. Also has a nice remote control for ... | |
| Joule vzn 80 or 100 for merlins? Good luck finding a used VZN of either persuassion. By the way, Bobby at Merlin only really recommends the "music box" version of the VZNs which is a particular type of cabinet. I had TSM-MXs which were very easy to drive by an Air Tight 300B amp ... |
