| six year old 6sn7's, pushing my luck? Rodman99999 while I would certainly LOVE an alternative to purchasing anything from China and always make a concerted effort to do my part in that manner the real problem is that good NOS tubes are getting harder to find. Many of the 6SN7s are use... | |
| CD player closest to vinyl? While they can both be satisfying I agree with Ahendler, they are different mediums and sound different. There are some things that vinyl does that I haven't heard yet with digital, things that are important to me which is present the air and spac... | |
| six year old 6sn7's, pushing my luck? Hi RichYou may not THINK there is a degradation of sound but are you sure you are not maybe acclimating? it can be a subtle process and 45K hours is a LOT of hours, depending of course on the circuit and the quality of the tube itself. The only wa... | |
| Which Cables Are of Most Importance? My guess is that it would vary from system to system. I personally have noted the biggest differences with ic's and speaker cables. Power cables do make a difference but I note the improvement in the better ones in lowering the noise floor of the ... | |

| Removing tube from EE Minimax Dac Sure Reylon, sure:) If that is the case your pinkies must have the grip of a hyena's jaw. | |

| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Doug, do you know the electrical parameters for the op-amps which is really what is required? It seems to me if some of the op-amps from the original work in the Plus they all should unless there is a voltage difference between the two that do not... | |

| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Asa's quote from his 3-11-03 post:"4.4 trillion projected deficit + cost of Iraq "war" and occupation + Japanese impending bank implosion + $40+/barrel sweet crude + housing bubble + predominant tax breaks for top 5% + highest unemployment rate si... | |
