| $1000 amp While keeping in mind that hawking our own gear is not the issue and helping someone out with a question is, I have aother amp suggestion. Since the Virgos are of high enough efficiancy to support a single ended tube amp (within a limited listenin... | |
| $1000 amp A "used" (not abused) "Muse" 160mk2. It is strong, agile and delicate in its detail... just plain ole' musical. Of course, you have a list of the "normal" crowd of recommendations, but the Muse is a real (and sometims overlooked) beauty to own and... | |
| W and M Audio Speaker cable and Interconnects Tplavas,Thank you for your response to my post.I'm at risk for showing my age, but I do not want anyone to think that the "pumping" would be on the same level as the Phase Linear "Compression/Expansion" unit from many, many, years ago. "That" thin... | |
| W and M Audio Speaker cable and Interconnects Sorry about not posting for so long. I have gone through a few pieces of equipment and have had good and not-so-good experiences. The good ones are major shifts in my amp plans. Without a lot of detail, the Onix SP-3 integrated tube amp just did n... | |
| Looking for warmth I will disagree with most, and agree with Wadia150. First of all, it is hard to find an amp that is smoother in the mids and sweeter on the top than the "sleeper" (of a Pass amp), the Adcom 545. Ahhh.. read the ba-zillion consumer reviews in audio... | |
| What is the "best" of the 5881 Tubes. Bias issue for the 6L6 (GC) is resolved.. !According to the techs at AV123 (in their reply to my Email) they have suggested that the Bias voltage remain the same as for the 5881 power output tubes. That Voltage is: 1.15VDC. Since the makeup of the... | |
| What is the "best" of the 5881 Tubes. Bernard991,I put the Bias question directly to AV123 this morning (by Email). I will relay their response. I also suggested that they take some time to follow our threads (here on Audiogon).Tubby | |
| i'm looking for a dull 12ax7 and 12au7, ideas? Klystron | |
| W and M Interconnects It is truly unfortunate that I write these words about the "W and M" Interconnects. *It is my belief (for reasons purely related to synergy) that the "W and M" interconnects cannot relate (within my current system) the sonic character that I was h... | |
| How Do I Build a Faraday Cage? Try going to Office Depot and look for the new style "mesh" office products (letterholders, wastecans, etc).. You may find what you need to cover whatever it is that you need to set up a field around your equipment. Stopping extranious waves is a ... | |
| Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used Onix SP-3. Just an exceptional value, at all levels. It is musical, detailed and extended (at both ends) plus wide open in the middle. With the extra money that you save with this amp, you can buy some candy ("audio" candy, that is). You could sho... | |
| What is the "best" of the 5881 Tubes. I would like to think that there is a "magic" bowl that is always filled with new (and replacement) amps at AV123. As reality may have it, however, we are perhaps Guinney Pigs stuck in a tub of volts.Being the dumb A that I am, I have the honor of... | |
| What is the "best" of the 5881 Tubes. Can anyone find an "open door" (so to speak) to the techs or service at Melody Audio in Australia ? I believe that they would be the ones to have the most expertiese in the Bia's and limitations of the SP-3. My only hesitation would be a gentle "t... | |
| W and M Interconnects I have pulled the W and M (interconnects) out and replaced it with some StraightWire Encore. I had normally reserved the StraightWire for systems that had a harder or harsher quality. With the Polk XRt12 XM recv'r, the sound is more open, has more... | |
| What is the "best" of the 5881 Tubes. Is all this a sign that the meek will inherit (at the least) AudioGon ?Tubby |
