| RIP Dad Elgordo Elgordo was one of the more fun Audiogoners. Know that he was both liked and respected greatly. It's heartening to know he lived his life to the fullest. We all mourn your loss, Mandocarrie. You must be incredibly proud to be his son.Godspeed,Joe | |
| Why Purchase used tubes? My friend buys really extravagant tubes, used. Telefunken 12AX7 are his favorite pick. He pays a fraction of what people do for NOS. Then, he tests them using a far more elaborate method than most - using an ocilloscope as opposed to a tube tester... | |
| KT88 recom. for quicksilver mini mono's Count me among those who prefer a good EL34, such as the JJ, over the 6550, KT88, and KT90. The midrange, which gives "life" to the music is simply light years better. That being said, I have seen more than a few amplifiers that for whatever reaso... | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? A lot of the Chinese equipment has been cheapened by the importers and distributors as much as the manufacturers themselves. In most instances, the sonics of this gear are more than fine.The issue is with having adequate support; which falls direc... | |
| KT88 recom. for quicksilver mini mono's One has to take Marco's quoting the 6moons.com interview of Professor Kron as the true. And, as Marco states, this was a different tube than the JJ (Telas/Teslovak). I have no experience with the KR KT88, apart from seeing a pair of amps with them... | |
| Merlin VSM-mm's a good value at $3000 used? I think the Merlins are a fantastic speaker. Certainly one of the cornerstone products of the industry in the past decade. The assertion was often made that Vandersteens do so much right, while minimizing/spreading their faults out so well, that t... | |
| Can I ever stand to listen to our system again I'm sorry to hear of your loss.I wish you the best in going forth to find peace and comfort in this world. | |
| Your top 3 comedians OK, based on this thread, and some reflection, here is my current Top 3:1) Rodney Dangerfield2) Steven Wright3) Dom Irrera. Yes, he IS less well-known than most on this list. But, he's also as funny a comedian as I've ever come across.Special ment... | |
| Atma-Sphere with which speaker cables? Hello, Mark.I have the M60 MK2.III. This is my third, and best pair of M60s.I also have a pair of Coincident loudspeakers - the Digital Master, with matching Troubass subwoofers. Have used them together with my Atmas a great deal.Basically, my tho... | |
| Built a Flexi-type rack? I must say that the rack that Joe (Slipknot1) and Spencer (Sbank) put together for Spencer is the finest audio rack that I have encountered. I encourage anyone interested in pursuing this to go for it, I doubt you'll do better. But, as Joe pointe... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496: Ease of Use Not so hard to use. Though certainly far more difficult than the typical audiophile gear, which has been minimalist in nature for a very long time now.I have mine on loan to a buddy right now, and my energy has been put into different areas for th... | |
| Your top 3 comedians Joe, you just knocked one of my top three! Steven Wright is one of the funniest comedians ever. DEFINITELY moves into my Number 2. For me, like Rodney, I laugh so hard at his standup, I can't even remember what the jokes were. That sampling of jok... | |
| Your top 3 comedians Thanks for that classic, Mattybumpkin! In my mind, there's Rodney, and every other comedian who ever lived is just playing for second place.A hooker told me, "Not on the first date."I told my doctor I wanted a vasectomy, he said, with a face like ... | |
| Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet? Bud Fried.In what I believe to be a gift from God, I actually did. And, we became incredibly close friends. Surely the most interesting person I have ever encountered. A true lion of the industry, who would have been wildly successful no matter wh... | |
