| 4ohm and 8ohm speakers? Many speaker manufacturers could care less about the difficulty of load they present to an amplifier. Perhaps most famous in this area of companies still in business are Jim Thiel and Gayle Martin Sanders. There is nothing wrong with this philosop... | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 Tml12, I have EXTENSIVELY used both the stereo and monoblock Rogue amplifiers. Wonderful sound, but not what I call "classic tube" sound. The new tube sound(Rogue, Jadis, Audio Research) is much more neutral, powerful, and extended(solid state sou... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys Mastering studios don't use $1200/meter interconnect. Actually, the majority of people in studios do not get into cable. I know many who always mention Monster Cable when talking of going to a "good cable", because they are working on a SPECIAL pr... | |
| I'm thinking of a Bottlehead 2A3 kit. I heard the SV-811 SET amp from Audio Electronic Supply. It was a great amp(actually monoblocks), astounding for the price. 12 wpc. Closest to its parent company's(Cary) 572 SE amps. There is a new version of this product, using the 845 tube. Look... | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 Rcprince, you may want to e-mail Jadis regarding the use of KT90 tubes in your amp. They go out of their way to recommend KT90, and to avoid KT88 with me. They say they have seen reliability problems with KT88s. I have never had this experience. Q... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys Is the sound improved since last week? You may also look into KT88 tubes, when that time comes up. If you are unhappy after one month, maybe you should re-insert the AQ to make sure it is as good as you remember it. Good luck. | |
| Musical system for under $2K? Used is the better way to go. New or used, here is a short list off the top of my head... Integrated amps: NAD, Bryston, Audio Refinement, Onkyo, Denon, Jolida, Golden Tube, Creek, Linn. CD players: NAD, Cambridge, Rotel, Parasound, Denon, Dynaco,... | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 Eldragon, I really love the Jadis. I have listened to many a product out there, and have EXTENSIVE experience with three in particular(Audio Research, Jolida, and Rogue). And, to me, the Jadis was a clear choice. I am somewhat surprised to hear th... | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 Thanks for the offer Eldragon! Ei tubes are available. In fact, Jadis informed me that they see no potential problems with supply. However, the sanctions will probably hurt us in the USA. No one will care because this is such a minuscule hobby. Bu... | |
| Integrated Amps vs. Separates. I was always a proponent of separates. However, I now am greatly enjoying an integrated. The benefits of separates have been mentioned, and I agree. But, let's consider the benefits of a great(not good) integrated. Cost, space, the removal of poss... | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 I think they are both equally important. The most important aspect of a tube amp(in my experience) is the transformers. It is by far, the most expensive functional part of a tube amp. This is what separates Jolida from companies like Air Tight. Ye... | |
| Better Electronics or New Cables??? Carl, good luck with the new cable. I hope this guy knows that this upcoming forum will have a major effect on the future of his company's business. I know you know this as well. I am glad a person of high regard is handling the audition. One thin... | |
| Cable "experts", advice needed Tom_nice, what in particular do you know about HomeGrown would cause you to avoid them? I am a big fan of theirs, but am an objective person. So, I am interested in all sides. I think they make a great product, are very responsive, and may serve a... | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Thank you for the kind words, Gthirteen. I don't have any one favorite, but a list of people who regularly contribute insightful(not inciteful comments). You would be included on the list. Others(off the top of my head - in NO order): Tubegroover,... | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 Krys, I found the KT90 to have the best bass of the three, far and away. Comparing the 6550 to the KT88, they are very close. I might say the 6550 to be a hair better, but that is probably only because of the KT88s sweet midrange. Drawing your ear... |
