| What to do with replaced tweeters Didn't the manufacturer offer any type of trade in discount when you purchased the new BE tweeters? It seems he did offer that at some point Simao. | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Ebm, the thing I note about the Macs compared to EVERY single amplifier I have owned is their natural fidelity to the music. These things do music right and they pull you in and keep you there. Funny thing is when I first fired them up I was tryin... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I don't know about all audiophiles but then I wonder how many of them have heard or owned any of the great vintage Macs? I own a pair of MC60s which I've had for 25 years and recently had restored to sell after sitting in the closet for the past 1... | |
| Extraordinary recordings on vinyl "On the subject of the "low fi" sound of some recordings (Black Keys): it should be remembered (respect?) that in some cases that sound is a deliberate choice by the artist and/or producer as part of the aesthetic vibe of the music."Kind of like f... | |
| What is the best OTL out there? "The wide open bandwidth of an OTL can also invite unwanted super sonic spurious crap that gets into the picture... if not properly addressed."It's ultimately an issue I hear as well. The level of transparency offered by an OTL mandates that EVERY... | |
| Ken Bernacky Stereo Surgeons God Bless America and may god bless UofC with more victories!! Immortalize is right, 13 years past? It seems there must have been some good that came out of it for all, it's the way things work, either for or against and when it's equally divided ... | |
| MHDT Paradesea Repair? New Tube? Keep us posted Streetdaddy. | |
| MHDT Paradesea Repair? New Tube? I am really questioning what he told you. Just because a tube is lighting up doesn't mean it isn't introducing noise. I KNOW this is true because I've experienced this myself, several times. I trust Andy completely but I am at a loss as to why he ... | |
| MHDT Paradesea Repair? New Tube? StreetdaddyThe problem with a noisy tube is that it may test well but still be noisy. I have a Hickock tube tester. While it performs several important tests it doesn't test for noise. Buying from a reliable tube vendor, Andy of Vintage Tube Servi... | |
| What is the best OTL out there? This is the ONE I've been waiting for from Berning, a Class A single ended amplifier with zero feedback, no iron and 60 watts of power! Sure would love some feedback from those that have heard this system. Unfortunately the price puts it out of th... | |
| MHDT Paradesea Repair? New Tube? The ideal is to find a tube that has been reliably tested. You shouldn't have to spend too much for one of the above tubes. | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Macrojack are you referring to Berning's recently introduced 60 watt 845 SET ZOTL amp? | |
| MHDT Paradesea Repair? New Tube? First thing, replace the tube with another which seems quite likely based on what you are hearing. Tubes can get noisy over time. I do believe the Paradesea uses the same buffer tube as the Havana 5670, 2C51, 396A type. | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Agree with Jmcgrogan2, really when you think about it what is the BEST of anything? The limits of the experience of the responders will correlate to some of the responses you'll get but what will that tell you? Then there is the system itself, and... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It We had an audio group meeting a few days ago. It was a tribute to a audio buddy that recently passed away and was into vinyl almost exclusively so vinyl only. One of the guys later commented to me on the ticks and pops, discrete as they were, and ... |
