| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Well, as far as time on the tubes, I changed my last set out when the hour meter on my projector, that I installed and turned on at the same time that I installed the 75SE, hit 3750 hours. Since there's no hour meter on the 75, 4500hrs was my esti... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna I called Upscale about some 150 tubes for my AR75SE. Deal made, perfectly matched tubes that now have about 2000 hrs on them. Maybe it was because I called with a very specific item in mind. Maybe it was because he knew the no PL Amp could unseat ... | |

| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic OK. I just went over the eight-week mark. I figured it was a pretty random amount of time. Eight weeks pretty much exactly and there's another benchmark? And I have to say: yep. Wow. I'm listening to Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes. I've been listen... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic To ronrags:I'm working up the nerve on the tube pins!Pretty awesome without. And Oregon: I try not to think too much about the criticism of others, but it's difficult at times.AR really took care of me on the amp. I had an HD220 that went kaput an... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic OK. It's been pretty close to exactly four weeks since I applied the magic stuff. I pasted approximately 100 connections. And before you go "no way..." there are 30 connections included in just my two main front speakers. I built them from a GR Re... | |
| Buy 4k projector or display now?...or stay 1080p? I watch my Epson 5040 with HDR / 4K content (Oppo source) and it’s phenomenal. The Epson uses pixel shifting to simulate 4K, but we’re at $2500 for the projector and at 5 feet from the (100 inch) screen you can’t see the pixels. You have to crank ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Well, Ny, this entire thread started with questions about the Walsh Micro tall speaker. They have been almost universally applauded by owners and reviewers alike. They were about $1000 at the time that this thread started. This thread just sort of... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Above 450hours now, and the 300-5000's keep getting better. What happened, did I chase everyone off? Nothing since 3/17! This may be the longest pause since 2008!I keep thinking about what else I might try at this price range that might offer what... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hello all. Though I'd give it a few days to let things settle before I blather on about how fantastic these new 300-5000's are. Now about 290 hours on them, maybe 5% of that was spent changing CDs or between movies, so call it 275 hours. They cont... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I am second day in, (32 hrs), and they are staying. Fantastic. The wife agrees. So, covered on both ends. She's off to grab a CD that she wants to hear. Inception in right now. Pirates earlier, plus Aja Steely, Tori Amos, Sherlock Holmes. Doesn't ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks Map. I'll be livening up the room this week. I'll talk to John, but I think it's just a black red binding post issue. Things came right into focus when I swapped wires, and nothing else changed. A good start, and it only gets better as thin... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Well now. Discovered one little trouble that, when remedied, has helped tremendously. Setting up the HT, Audyssey shows, "Front L out of phase". Huh. Wired em up just like my old ones. Double checked. Swapped red and black on FL, and BAM Baby. The... |
