| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i I would listen to the amp with stock tubes for at least several months in order to learn its sonic signature (especially because you already love it), and then would start tube rolling - slowly, pair by pair. Just live with acertain pair of tubes ... | |
| Hot Rats I don't have Hot Rats, but I have Frank's classics - Overnite Sensation and Apostrophe, and The Mothers of Invenstion "Freak Out" (LP reissues). I love them since my childhood. | |
| Do good power cords have to be stiff? a great power cable that is very flexible: e.g., VH AUDIO Airsine. | |
| The Most Digital Recording You Ever Heard Yello 'Touch' sounds nauseatingly 'digital' in my gear - the recording is harsh with exaggerated sibilance in female voice... | |
| Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL Their color is a matter of taste... | |
| Kimber Select 1021 vs Nordost Red Dawn sorry - vintage TT | |
| Kimber Select 1021 vs Nordost Red Dawn My Kimber KS-1021 connected from a vinatge turntable to an integrated amp (along with a ground wire) produces a LF hum. There is no hum when it is connected from a CD player to the integrated amp. I read somwhere that the Kimber 1021 is unshielded... | |
| My battle with sibilance. Too lazy at the moment to swap the gear, but I will report when I do it. | |
| My battle with sibilance. Hi Blueranger,I checked a 'Business as Usual' LP by Men at Work (made in Japan by Epic SONY, 25-3P-370), and its sounds fantastic, though there is a slight hint of HF hardness, but it's still OK. I suspect that your system is much more revealing t... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Cary SLI-80 with all vintage tubes. Good cables are a MUST. Sounds good (dynamic and reasonably neutral) with a ProJect DS2 Tube Box phono preamp. | |
| Parasound A21+ vs MF M8 500S vs Cary 200.2 ES vs Hegel H20 Your observations on Silverline Sonata III's are a bit odd to me: I also own these speakers (though I listen to a different pair now) and I've paied with with a Cary SLI-80 integrated (85wpc in the UL mode, as claimed by the manufacturer), a 12w... | |
| Tubes Asylum As far as know, there are many competent guys there like Jim McShane, Airtime, vintage guru Mike Samra and many others... | |
| Luxman 505uXlI vs Cary SLI-100 I am wondering what I could do to my Cary SLI-80 acquired in 2003. The only upgrade I made some time ago were Jensen PIO .22uf coupling caps. Before that, we tried VCaps for a year and eventually replaced them with Jensens. | |
| Replacement of Cary CD player I've been using the Cary CD308T since 2003 or 2004 but it developed a problem - interrupted playback. I brought it to a tech this year as I thought that the problem was caused by the old and weak laserhead.The tech said 'no' and replaced the stock... | |
| One of those moments we analog people live for... Your Yamaha gear may need recapping, hence the muddy sound. |
