| I've Noticed Lately That There's Threads About Being Noticed Lately Oregonpapa, "I opt for free speech. The key isn't to ban speech.

| I've Noticed Lately That There's Threads About Being Noticed Lately I used to notice Taters on Audio Asylum, and felt bad for him. People came out of the woodwork to bash him with violent abandon. I just didn't understand where everyone came up with this.However, after his recent relentless volley of threads her... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today Douglas_Schroeder, "Trelja, considering Quads, you couldn't get me to own a Quad. They� WERE a good speaker - that was LONG ago. The older models have severely compromised performance in terms of bass extension and power handling. And it sounds... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today Douglas_Schroeder (BP), "Vintage gear is good for nostalgia trips and the audiophile on a lower budget (in fact, very good for them), but not great for building superior audio systems."As I have often found arrogance the companion of ignorance, I ... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today Frieds, especially, the final iterations prior to Bud retiring in the late 1990s compete exceptionally well with the loudspeakers of today.Personally, I use the Quad ESL57. I have/had a lot of other speakers, but apart from the bottom octave, noth... | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? Inna, "I have never read of Jadis having great bass. Have I read wrong things or they improved in this area?"Most definitely, you've read wrong things. Mostly, you don't find much to read about Jadis, as the US distribution over the past 20 years ... | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? Jadis DA60 integrated has absolutely impressive low-end slam. It's a honey of an amplifier. I've own/ed a lot of amplifiers, tube and solid state. Top to bottom, it's the best I've had in my system.I would guess the DA88S replacement would follow-... | |
| JJ 300 B tubes or others ? Michael (Swampwalker), thank you for the nod!According to the last price sheet I have, the $280/pair Shuguang Black Treasure 300B at PartsConnexion comes within a hair of the price direct from the factory to wholesalers. I recommend anyone interes... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps Realdeal, unfortunately, Simon Vinitsky (Simontju) passed away earlier this year... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? Another thank you, Bombaywalla!For the most part, I've never much cottoned to ARC (or, CJ) products. As time moves forward, I tend to like the newer ARC products even less. Still, outside of the commentary OTL and a certain slant on the power supp... | |

| best 12ax7 tube with jj el34l for Jadis Orchestra Indeed, Matt contacted me offline, as Michael suggested, with my feelings above...The Doctor (Mechans) and I evaluated those Shuguang 12AX7B when they were newly introduced, and they simply floored us. In fact, because of that, we organized a 12AX... | |
| Who is going to the Capital Audiofest? Interesting you mention the headphone contingent, Larryi.I noticed they had the most energetic and youthful crowd at CAF last year, by leaps and bounds. As I said, the high-end audio component of the show took a major leap forward with the change ... | |
| Who is going to the Capital Audiofest? I would like to go, but will unfortunately travel out of the country during this time.Attended last year, and 2012. In those couple of years, the show has improved by a significant margin. With the move to a far better venue, the 2014 affair seeme... | |
| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? I've lived in the no preamp is the best preamp and passive worlds. Both provided happiness and long-term satisfaction.
