| Best Integrated, period. Paul, I'm hoping to make it down to the Baltimore area in two weeks for a benefit in the name of my dearly departed friend, John Potis. Perhaps, I can bring both the DA30 and DA60 down with me, and we can get together for a comparison on your spea... | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing Heyraz, yes, I absolutely decorate my Christmas tree with vacuum tubes. My wife thinks it's ridiculous, but I think it looks very cool. I used to know how to post a picture here, but have forgotten. I did the same thing back then when I replaced t... | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing A rectifier arcing over makes it ready for the dustbin. It's heartbreaking, not too mention a pain in the pocket.Have you already disposed of your 274Bs? If not, and you're willing, I would be more than appreciative if you could send them to me. I... | |
| Best Integrated, period. I believe you are correct, Doctor. Jadis and Pierre Gabriel appear to have parted ways. From what one of the principals told me, the company's intention was to be represented in North America by he and his brother, along with one additional, unnam... | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing Detredwings gives the best advice, "Power supplies can be dangerous and if you don't know what your doing I would suggest you take it to someone who does. I'm only suggesting this because the high voltage stuff can hurt you."As upset as you are, c... | |
| Supratek in business again.... Agreed, excellent response by Raquel! | |
| Vandersteen 7 at Audio Connection Russ, you are 100% correct, it was an Aesthetix amplifier. Not sure how Ayre came out in my typing, they make no hybrid products to my knowledge. I apologize for such a glaring mistake.Thanks for adding your insight on the sonics, I agree with you... | |
| New production 6SL7 Tubes whats the most popular? In my opinion, the best "new" 6SL7 (and 6SN7) tubes are leftover Chinese military versions, under the Shuguang (not the current red or brown base) and Nanjing labels. Both are metal base, have different sonic signatures, and available at low cost,... | |
| Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference. Yes, I was referring to the Shuguang 12AX7B in the top three of our 12AX7 shootout. Some of the folks there participate in this forum. | |
| Need upgrade info for my Atma-Sphere Novacron Amps Congratulations on having those amps! I've always considered them among the best looking amplifiers ever designed. | |
| Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference. Stts, believe it or not, ebay. Several years ago, I found a guy selling them who lived about 20 minutes from me, and I may have bought 20 for something like $75. There's a whole raft of them on ebay right now, often called 12AX7B or Silver Dragon,... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Agree with a lot of the responses here, particularly Zappa.One to add that I didn't see on the list is John Coltrane. Maybe not in the minds of many, but even today I find him incredibly sophisticated. | |
| Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference. Good older 12AX7s don't need to be costly. One good way to buy is to bypass NOS, and go for used. Those older tubes are quite strong, and can last a real long time. At any rate, I've found a lot of tubes of that era for no more than what you're co... | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line I have no idea how these amps sound, but I really like the look. As far back as I can remember, every iteration of Dan's amplifiers have stopped me in my tracks upon first sight. His designs always reminded me of what Wayne Gretzky said when posed... | |
| Is Kind of Blue the Best Jazz Album Ever Yes.BTW, nice analysis, Coltrane1 and Onhwy61. |
