| Why no threads on OTL amps? Twl-When you think of SETs you think of the late Gizmo Harvey Rosenberg of NYAL's fame. He went absolutely bonkers over the Seigfried and the zero hysterisis technology in general. The ultimate realization of tube technology today must include the... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? oh and btw I concur with both Chris and Ken about the Berning. You WILL be amazed at its sound, versatility, price and weight/performance. The hardest part is just getting past the small size. Then you listen, no way man, how'd Berning do that? Th... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? Well there have been threads on theses marvels but there doesn't appear to be too much experience. Many steer clear of tube amps because of the hassle, an OTL even more so because of the heat output and the impedance restrictions with perceived re... | |
| what does "Air or a Halo around instruments" mean? Air is the space around individual instruments. When you hear halos I would guess that you are exciting the angels :) Detlof your explanation is interesting however I always referred to this effect as the natural decay. Sometimes when I listen to ... | |
| My first tube amp! HELP PLEASE! Jedisqueezer I would SERIOUSLY consider Twl's recommendation. I will say that I personally haven't heard the MicroZotl but DO own the Berning Zh270 OTL. I have listened to many of the above and many are nice but OTL tube amps are really another wo... | |
| Sistrum Platforms Brulee based on your enthusiasm and my trust in your judgement, I will certainly check them out! | |
| MUSIC THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE Well Clueless, it sounds like a win win situation. The kid gets to listen to the charms of Britany's "distinctive" style while you get the opportunity to check out the distinctive charms that produce that style. I am a firm believer in building br... | |
| Dell purchase Thanks Gboren I'll check it out and get back. I really don't see how the settings have anything to do with a straight copy from one cd to another and have never found this to be a problem in the past with other computer based cdr's. Furthermore on... | |
| Dell purchase I recently purchased a Dell for my office. Well dude, I'm not too impressed. Since you should mention the cdw, don't know the brand nor care to, it is a piece of ...., I've attempted to make 4 copies of music and all are flawed. Data other than mu... | |
| Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover? Onhwy61 - Well knowing my nature, I would have probably taken the wealth or talent over the fame and certainly can't think of any other options that would be more appealing than either of those two, even as a youth. Question is which one would it ... | |
| Does Cary stack up to ARC Cary's (there are so many of them) are typically on the darker richer sound of neutrality with a lot of extras that are not necessarily in the music but can be appealing non the less. They really do that blooming thing and you can be taken in by i... | |
| Bill Miller of Miller Sound............... I second what Vtvu says about Bill. I have a pair of his speaker cables which were originally brought to my attention by Vtvu. That search is over and I couldn't be happier. | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Well you tell me Craig, if you see live music in all the categories you mention pretty much equally without necessarily preferring one over the other and listen at home across a broad band, how do you choose?If the question were based on seeing li... | |
| Live or Recorded; A Faustian response I'm with you both Shubertmaniac and Reprince. There is nothing like the emotional one time experience of the live performance. I can't recall a listening session that was so memorable of a particular performance, more likely the sound of the syste... | |
| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? I've always preferred ss... just seeing if you were paying attention :) Justlisten it seems you've run the gamut. Keep us posted. I can't imagine from your list that you won't come back. Sometimes ya just need a change......perhaps? |
