| Where's Danielle Sanchez...? I haven't seen her sorry dude, but that reminds me if anyone's seen Frank Mills can you PM me? Cheers. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Roxy, that's exactly what I meant. Selling products to people with obsessive compulsive personality disorder (pretty much all of us here) must be a total nightmare. I remember getting some tubes that I thought (incorrectly) were microphonic and ga... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... This is why everyone hates audiophiles. | |
| Internet site w/interesting music recommendations Holy crap thanks for the link man. This site's exactly what I've been looking for and unable to find until now. Disemballerina are excellent. | |
| High efficiency speakers Tannoy Kensington SE. | |
| What is a good entry level turntable? Get a second hand Rega Planar (make sure it has a Rega tonearm) and slap a brand new Ortofon 2m Blue on it. $600 all up and you're in business. | |
| Cheapest good sounding dvd player? You can get a Pioneer dv-393 second hand for virtually nothing. They sound amazing. | |
| Matched & Balanced Can Kiss My Euphemism Ebm: Try it. Start with your linestage or output tubes. If your speakers and source are as neutral as possible you'll be amazed at what you can achieve. As I said in my OP good tubes have no errors, just sins of omission. Mixing them can make up f... | |
| Matched & Balanced Can Kiss My Euphemism That's exactly what I was trying to enunciate: With only four tubes per side I wasn't able to achieve the sound I was after. By pairing different tubes I finally got there. The thread's title was a bit playful, the tubes I have are close enough to... | |
| Matched & Balanced Can Kiss My Euphemism Yeah different manufacturers, exactly. Not mixed up though. Lovingly paired would be a better analogy. The soundstage is slightly wacky because different tubes have different presentations, especially noticeable in the linestage: In my case the Bu... | |
| A True convert is born How do you find the Classic 8s in terms of smoothness/refinement? | |
| A True convert is born Yeah pretty sure it's pentode. Nothing wrong with that in my books, I like the speed/transparency/drama. Those audio nirvana full rangers look really interesting. I know what you mean about being in on a secret. I've only spent $1500 on my current... | |
| A True convert is born The APPJ is very responsive to tube rolling, not only the 12ax7 but the el84s as well. I use it with large two-way speakers (91db) that have simple crossovers and a benign impedance curve: the sound is great but I am tempted to make some single dr... | |
| 12 gauge zip vs Cat7 DIY speaker cable - oh my Nice one. I made some speaker wire using solid core cat5e and love the sound. Very transparent. The trick with stranding is to use a drill and a vice which saves hours of work: Take two individual 24awg strands and use the drill and vice to wind t... | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? Just out of interest, can anyone tell me what 8 strands of 24 gauge wire adds up to? It's what I'm currently using (8x24awg on both pos. and neg. so 16x24awg overall? Not sure how it works. The internet has been unhelpful) |
