| What causes listener fatique? cure? I find that most metal or inverted dome tweeters cause me listening fatique. Of course, there are exceptions. But, I haven't come across a lot of soft dome tweeters that irritate me. I find that I am becoming increasingly prone to the ill effects ... | |
| Music to test systems Great choices so far. Here is my list, for what it is worth... 1) Lucinda Williams "Car Wheels On a Gravel Road" - dynamic, voice of coffee mixed with diesel fuel, excellent sense of guitar strings. 2) Dar Williams "Mortal City" - one of the most ... | |
| Stan Warren mod of 9000es and 333es From everything I have heard of about Stan Warren, his reputation is impeccable. However, the cost of the mods to these players seems excessive. The modifications seem to be minimal; most of the benefit will be brought about by the insertion of th... | |
| 99 10W Tube Mono Blocks? Tommy, do you know what type of output tubes are used in these amps? EL84, EL34, 6550, KT88? I am thinking that these monoblocks, along with the type of CD player you described, coupled with a nice pair, of inexpensive, efficient speakers would ma... | |
| 99 10W Tube Mono Blocks? Anyone have any idea of the type of tubes these amps use and/or will accept. I would be very interested in these for budget minded friends. | |
| Speaker Cable Jolida302a/Castle Richmond I have no experience with Castle loudspeakers, but have intimate knowledge of the Jolida 302s. I have found that most people prefer a detailed, forward, punchy cable with the Jolida 302A/B. Possessing a fullness at both frequency extremes. It seem... | |
| A most unlikely cable convert Hi Brulee. Thanks all. Yes, the story is quite amazing. I will ask him more about it today, at my sister's birthday dinner. My father had a closed mind, even that night. But, I only switched cables on one speaker. Fortunately, the differences in t... | |
| Need your help on SPEAKER CABLE... I also agree with Sean. And, having many of the speaker cables he lists, have to agree that they are all different, and require auditioning to find which best fits your system/likes. | |
| ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic Thank you for your information Rurdangaray. I am most appreciative, Joe | |
| Most musical stereo tube amp under 5K.. You can buy MUCH better sound than VTL. VTL are great for power, but I have always had a problem with the way they sounded. My opinion is that they get worse as the amount of tubes increases. Becoming too hard to meld all of those tubes into one c... | |
| Best Movie Soundtrack My favorite, by far, is the soundtrack to the movie, Alfie. A jazz fan will be mesmerized; Sonny Rollins at his absolute finest. Spanning a range of emotions seldom realized on one album. Joy, sadness, quickness, and absolute power(as only Rollins... | |
| is there a great used tube for 1000?? A used Quicksilver or Rogue would be really hard to top at this price point. The Rogue is more neutral sounding, the Quicksilver more "classic tube". If you prefer an even more "classic tube", rich, warm(some would argue overly so) sound, the CJ M... | |
| Rogue owners, ideas please Leafs, please give HomeGrown Audio Silver Lace or Silver Audio Hyacinth a try. They will redefine your perceptions of silver. Rather than being bright, tizzy, or shrill, they are smooth, liquid, and relaxed. Possessing a great deal of warmth and d... | |
| ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic By the way, it's been a long time, but I have never hated those ESS speakers the way so many have. The 12" woofers did need to be replaced, due to the surrounds rotting out. It's in the back of my mind to go through them, and see what happens. Doe... | |
| ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic Thank you Albert. Your postings are always very well written and thought out, not to mention insightful. |
