| speaker effiency Spkrplus is correct in his differentiation of efficiency and sensitivity. Ask a speaker manufacturer what the "efficiency" of a model is, and in all likelihood, THEY DO NOT KNOW. It is a very complex thing to ascertain. I recommend that when you a... | |
| Wrong direction? Amen, Garfish. ALWAYS trust your own ears. Just another reason that I lament the passing of the Annual Audio Equipment Guide. To me, at least as useful as the Stereophile ratings. As it let me know what was out there. I could then contact the comp... | |
| EL34: Svetlana or Ei? Please excuse my possible incorrectness, but I didn't think Ei produced an EL34. They do make a tube which can be substituted in many circumstances, the 6CA7. In my travels, I have found that the best EL34s these days are from Svetlana and JJ(form... | |
| Wrong direction? I think that everyone here has contributed something worthwhile. I did not mean to imply that an affordable piece is automatically relegated to Class C. But I do feel, it has to do something strong to pull itself out of that rating. Where as somet... | |
| Wrong direction? Excellent points Dragon. I remember reading quotes in Stereophile regarding how price factored in to the equation. I even think it may be in the description of the scale. Something about Class C being "affordable"(I could be misquoting them on som... | |
| Help me find a smooth solid-state amp? I have to check in on the side of those who look to the CD/DVD player and the preamp. The tube preamp suggestion might be a nice start. As would a DAC capable of smoothing things out. The Soliloquy speakers and Adcom power amplifier should not be ... | |
| Mapleshade versus Stealth Is there no one else who uses Stealth cable? I guess opinion is split. Some think it's great, some don't. Tom_nice, is there any other brand of cable that you recommend? I am not all knowing when it comes to cable, but I do know that there is no m... | |
| Best wires for cost Thanks Eljif, I will look into them. | |
| Greatest Guitar Band Really informative post there Shubertmaniac. Thanks! | |
| Greatest Guitar Band The nominations of The Yardbirds(especially) and Led Zeppelin are pretty hard to argue with. But, I really have to support Rosstaman and John-l on the Allman Brothers. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts were absolutely mind blowing together. And since ... | |
| Speaker Kit (speciffically Dynaudio) Eldragon is correct about the ACI kits. I think both the ACI and Madisound kits are great places to start. In my opinion, the Dynaudio kits are great. They are not up to the level of the Dynaudio speakers found in the high end salons, but still qu... | |
| Best reviewers One thing that I just recalled was that I read Darth Sidious is not actually a Sith. He was raised by the Sith. Darth Maul is an actual Sith. Maybe I should go back to some of this stuff. I used to go to a website(when the anticipation of Episode ... | |
| Anyone heard the marsh and odyssey amps? I have to reiterate the comments of Brulee. Garyl, if tubes color the sound in your opinion, why are you going with Blue Circle? I am a big fan of Blue Circle, and feel their preamps add a buttery toned glow(that I happen to like) to the music. Fr... | |
| Best reviewers All valid points Carl. Perhaps that's why we so look forward to the next movie. I have been feeling these things since Episode 4(1977?), always so many unanswered questions. As soon as you leave the movie, you are already are monstrously craving t... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Sdcampbell I have to concur with Fpeel. I can already see our section of Jazz 101 is filling up rapidly. Thanks for all that you have offered us in this thread. I for one, have been educated. Also would like to say that this has been one of the mo... |
