EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes
S23chang, I don't think we disagree.Having laid out your case well, along with things that most people often neglect to include in the mix such as type of amplifier and speaker as well as musical preference, it's easy to see where you are coming f... 
EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes
Been trying to post to this thread for several days with no luck. Not sure why...S23chang, while I do not doubt your assertion, the number of EL34 tubes/amplifiers sold compared to the 6L6 variants shows that people do prefer the EL34 tubes as we ... 
BAT vs. Quicksilver
Like Howard, I am also a really big fan of the 6C33B output tube. To me, in most every application I have heard it in has been a most wonderful sounding amplifier. This most certainly includes the BAT amps. For me, I think the BAT would be my hear... 
What is the Meadowlark house sound?
Meadowlarks offer tremendously clean and clear sound. Very open and spacious. Midrange and treble is glare free and easy to listen to, but with the detail and clarity. Bass is where I have always found these smaller Meadowlarks to fall down. Light... 
Music Hall CD-25 or original Rega Planet?
Hi, Bob! Hope to see you again soon. You are correct that the Cambridge 640C was not available when I got my Music Hall. However, Bill called me once to rave about them, and asked me to come over to give his a listen, as he was selling them. Since... 
EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes
Well, that's why they make vanilla AND chocolate.Most people, me among them, prefer the EL34 over the KT66 (and 6L6/5881), but the important thing is that you have found YOUR best tube! 
Music Hall CD-25 or original Rega Planet?
Marty, if you don't do much digital, you may well prefer the Planet. It has a smooth, relaxed nature that would appeal to someone who definitely tends to vinyl.That being said, I have owned the Music Hall, and for me, it was the clear choice. In f... 
Best power tube for Rogue Audio M120 Magnum
In my Jadis and Granite amps, the Ei KT90 definitely made the best power and bass. Was probably the most "neutral" as well. And, the 6 years of heavy use on them proved them to be more than reliable.However, the JJ E34L and KT88 proved far better ... 
What numbers are important in SS amps specs
Jeez, you're slipping Viridian!!! You didn't even include PI or the conversion for pounds to pounds per square inch... 
What happened to the loudness control?
What about instructions for the secret handshake, or is that type of information only revealed during the ceremony? 
What happened to the loudness control?
I think it's going to snow this July; I'm agreeing with Onhwy61 in quite a few posts lately.As stated above, the Fletcher - Munson Curve still applies. Listening to an audiophile system at low volume shows how far off things can be. I always scrat... 
Best Cd Player under $100,000
Ellery911, if your player hasn't yet sold, would you consider the same deal for me? I am willing to pay the 3% PayPal fee if you can swing splitting the shipping costs with me. Please let me know!Whew, I sure am glad I'm going to be able to get a ... 
Why don't kids nowadays know about Jazz and classi
You and I do not disagree, Papertrail.It is our responsibility to teach our children just as you said. And, I often jump through a lot of hoops in vain to get my daughter to eat food beyond meat, ice cream, candy, and chips (her 4 basic food group... 
High impedance Speakers
Ah, Ralph, now that I see you have added your wisdom to this thread, it popped into my mind that you are the longtime guru of this topic! 
Why don't kids nowadays know about Jazz and classi
I think Viridian and Onhwy61 are displaying a supreme level of wisdom in this thread with their posts. My hat is off to both of them. To subjugate another human being to what one considers the "correct" or "preferred" style of anything in life is ...
