| 6L6 vs EL34 @mechans +1As usual, I will side with my very close friend, The Doctor (Mechans). He stated things perfectly. 6L6 more lush and thick, EL34 more forward, engaging, and detailed, though not at the expense of sweetness or sounding harsh | |
| Question for tube aficionados Pretty simple, really. Better tubes equal better sound.For these variants, with few exceptions, you need to look toward old production. Not necessarily NOS, though so many aspire to that. I found you can do VERY well for yourself buying tubes o... | |
| Old or new gear @sophie999, I think your inquiry about Quicksilver monos is a great place to begin, and end...I just sold my pair, as I'm moving to a house half the size of my current one. Both love and respect the build and sonics of the Quicksilvers, along wit... | |
| Price to list ad @jmcgrogan2 "@trelja , Joe, you are moving to Vancouver?????Good luck! I hope that all is well!"Thank you for your concern and well wishes, John.All IS well. Always had the dream to retire when I was in my 40s, and looks like I hit that with alm... | |
| Price to list ad En route to flipping my main residence from Philadelphia to Vancouver, BC, and a house of less than half the size, I've been trying to sell off some of the extraneous stuff I've collected, and tried several of the sites.USA Audio Mart and Audio As... | |
| Buying an item from Canada I have residences in both the Philadelphia, PA and Vancouver, BC suburbs. And I’ve shipped A LOT of audio and personal things back and forth to Canada over the past decade.First, if at all possible, NEVER, EVER, EVER use UPS!!! They are the absolu... | |
| Nad M3 non repairable @schubert , "NAD =Not always reliable"That sounds better than the tech at the shop I worked back in the 90s who said my NAD 2600 stood for "Nearly Always Defective".After taking the journey I have, my feeling is that an old style tube amplifiers a... | |

| Talon Khorus @prof "I was dumbfounded by how sheerly awful they were."+1. If you like the way they look, you will fall in love with them until you hear them. Like a lot of loudspeakers, if you know what you're doing, you can do a lot to improve them by going... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @drrnc2 Good to know. We talked a bit, with Adrian between us. My hair's not yet silver, I wore a navy blue sweater, and spent most of my time talking with him, Vinh, and Jens. Fun time, for sure. I'm left thinking about the Terminator.By the... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @drrnc2 Were we just at the same get together???Likewise, I also felt most happy with the current incarnation of Vinh's system. His speakers have sure come a long way since the early days, physically and sonically. Very impressive design!That D... | |
| Getting into tubes @jzzmn88 I heard an LTA integrated at the most recent NYC Audio Show. Paired with the Rethm Bhaava loudspeakers, I felt it produced the best sound at the show | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems @geoffkait "Timbernation has long history of disgruntled customers."I've never dealt with the company, and for that very reason. Many threads over the years regarding the complaints against this outfit have come up. When I saw this thread sittin... | |
| 6H30p-DR vs 6H30p Tubes Pretty interesting topic. I’ve heard people come down passionately on each side.I used to import a line of gear that use the tube extensively. I’ve tried the new production, gold pin versions, and supposedly, higher performing, older variants. At ... | |
| Getting into tubes @jzzmn88 well, when it comes to your Merlins, you got in at the perfect place, the top!Thank you for laying out the issues you have regarding the Filarmonia. Everything makes sense, really. The subwoofer connection can work, as a couple of optio... |
