| KT 150 Amp Options Hi RudgeI did have the opportunity to audition the QS Silver 88 with the KT150 tube with my DeCapo speakers. Front end included a Copeland CD player and a Clearaudio Ovation TT the QS entry linestage. Not sure about cabling or the tube phono stage... | |
| NHT 2.5i vs NHT Classic 4 I tend to agree with Jorgeparrapuppy. I had a pair of 2.5i's for a few years in the late 90's and it wasn't the upstream components that were the issue unless you consider McIntosh MC-60's and ARC D-115 amplifiers with ARC SP-8 and CAT preamps poo... | |
| KT 150 Amp Options Well Charles I'm more than certain that 90 watts, the case with the Kt150 tube in the Silver 88, is going to be more than sufficient. I'm going to find out tomorrow how the QS and DeCapos pair up. | |
| KT 150 Amp Options I'm thinking so Charles and I also agree with Weesbeedad that simpler is generally better. The V4s are amazing, if you need the power but they also put out considerable heat which living in Florida is always a consideration to me and quite frankly... | |
| KT 150 Amp Options I am using the DeCapo's at present. I have heard these speakers at the Dealer's with the lowered powered QS monos but not the Silver 88s. He has a pair of Dulcets which I heard recently but paired with another amp and at that time I asked if he ha... | |
| KT 150 Amp Options Weebeesdad, I HAVE heard the Silver 88s with the Kt150 tubes and the V4s. I too am considering auditioning them in home in my system but am not going ahead with this unless/until I'm committed to buy if it is a no brainer choice. The reason being ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... And thanks to you too Charles, a most thoughtful proponent of SET amplifiers. One thing for sure as in all thing audio, the critical importance of matching and judicious selection of components. Too often it is the lack of this resulting in an uns... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Thank you Rebbi for sharing your experience with us. In all the threads over the years on this forum this one and the SET thread have really opened my eyes concerning my prejudices of SET amplifiers. What both threads have singularly done is recog... | |
| KT 150 Amp Options Quicksilver has the option of using the KT150 in both the V4 and Silver 88. Both suberb sounding with this tube. | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Oh Schubert, of course you are right him too! | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has What I would like to see was a longer life of what could have been to the one's that left us too early. All those timeless melodies and standards unwritten. To that end I would include Mozart, Chopin and Gershwin as a few good examples.So far as r... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Sorry if I misread your intent Timrhu. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... You don't have to have miracle ears to like what you hear, do you Timrhu? MY question is, why do SOME audiophiles feel so compelled to comment in a NEGATIVE manner without offering anything substantive one way or another? If the op wants and can a... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... I don't know about you Abrew but to me an ostentatious audiophile is one that would pay large for something because it is expensive without regard for how it sounds, how pretentious is that? I noted none of that in the review but an enthusiasm for... | |
| Another UPS Horror Story I'm sorry but a stand up dealer would replace the unit and deal with UPS. Why should it be your problem to deal with damaged goods through shipping when you didn't ship it regardless of how well it was packaged? Many years back I shipped a TT that... |
