| Harbeth Owners - I Need Some Help Thanks for the info, guys. I'm checking out Sound Anchor since they have that "open" top plate design which someone told me is best for Harbeths because of the lossy cabinets. Supposedly allows them to flex more properly but we may be getting into... | |
| 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 ... |
