| Getting into tubes @jzzmn88 thank you for sharing your thoughts.It's encouraging to hear that Rich upgraded your Merlins to Black Magic Edition. Beyond the help he often lends in the forums, he attended the shows Bobby, and always came across as a really good perso... | |
| Getting into tubes I've owned TSM and VSM, and the speakers can sound lean with some amplification and cabling. In my experience, Merlins sound best with something more lush to present themselves best.As pryso mentioned, Joule Electra often mated with Merlin, and t... | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? @bdp24 , "The speaker/room relationship is for me the most important consideration in a system, and the place to start. This is a matter of some disagreement, but there is far more difference in sound between speakers than amps in ways most imp... | |

| Recommendation for Quad ESL repair -- Sheldon Stokes! @bicycle_man very informative. Thank you! | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? Heard the LTA with Rethm loudspeakers at the NYC audio show this past autumn.They sounded marvelous, and easily ranked as the best I heard in an otherwise extremely poor show | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... It's a bit sad to see where this thread went...Things sometimes go sideways. That's life, yes? But hopefully, with a bit of road between now and what's ahead, things will get back to good.Obviously, Ralph's a good guy and a valuable member of th... | |
| Chinese Class A SS I find the charge of stealing a circuit design interesting.For example, when it comes to tube amplifiers, but a handful of designs exist, with almost all developed between the 1930s and 1950s. Beyond the SET designs from Western Electric and that ... | |
| Rectifier Hum @wolf_garcia most probably unrelated to the different voltage drop of the 3 rectifiers as the 5Y3 should have the largest, but just have to ask...You recently bought a pair of Klipsch Heresy III, with (I think, but could well be mistaken) signific... | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... As predicted, Ralph provides the kind of service that helps those needing it...@charles1dad, exactly!Consider the days when these audio / video circuits and designs were actually cutting edge, SAMS Photofacts and the like published the requisite d... | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... Hello, Will. Ralph's proven he's one of the better people in the industry, and I feel confident he'd help get you where you need to be.Coincidentally, high-end audio manufacturers of less ethical nature leave their customer base in a very bad way... | |
| SYSTEM COMPLETE FINALLY! @calvinj good news, congratulations!Glad you found happiness and are riding off into the sunset | |
| How can Wilson Audio speakers sound that good if they are using OEM drivers? @bdp24 phenomenal post! | |
| Chinese Class A SS @charles1dad yes, you're mostly right.Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Africa, and depending on how the politics go, Cambodia and Myanmar / Burma.Hard (at least, for me) to believe, but Vietnam supposedly has already become too expensive | |
| Chinese Class A SS +2, excellent posts, gentlemen.So much of North American and European high-end audio actually gets built in China, which the western companies normally keep that under their hat. And that’s not the budget or value brands I’m talking about.Interest... |
