| Tube AMP or SS It's true, those curved glass bottles magnify everything, a millimeter is longer, a gram weights more, the boiling point of water is higher, and the speed of light is faster on a tube than on a transistor....(sigh). | |
| Best legacy preamp-amp combo for $1000, is what? IMHO, dollar for dollar you can't beat McCormack amps such as the DNA 125 with the Vandersteens. There are plenty of pre choices that work, including passive, ss, and tube. Just be mindful that the amp is a little on the sensitive side, so a high ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Could it come down to one's preference between; sins of omission vs. sins of commission? | |
| Tube AMP or SS It might be within the product info packet, or on the back of the speakers. I did a search, but the manufacturer is not exactly completely forthcoming with regard to specs. They quote a 6 Ohm nominal impedance but there is no mention of a minimum ... | |
| How do I know when to replace Melos SHA - 1 Tubes You'll never really know for sure, it'll just always be in the back of your head, distracting and gnawing at you. The seeds of a conspiracy planted to induce paranoia, overtake your senses, and the world as you previously knew it.....or thought yo... | |
| Tube AMP or SS Orpheus10, When using the standard 8 Ohm power rating, with speakers that have a high impedance, tube amps might sound "bigger stronger and tougher", but with speakers with a low impedance the opposite might be true, where ss amps might sound "big... | |
| Tube AMP or SS Pardon my ignorance, but what are MA 8S speakers? Is MA the manufacturer? | |
| Should I try to improve speakers at $2000.00 range Johnny Audioconnection, Wow!, don't you think a disclaimer is in order? | |
| Do Thiel Audio CS3.7 Rock? I imagine it could. The choice of pre might be very important. Both the Thiels and the Edge do stray from absolute neutrality in a similar manner, fortunately both hardly stray at all. With such a match, I would think that the choice of pre would ... | |
| Amp for Thiel 2.2? While not my first choice, it is a good choice. Hope you find a suitable pre. Enjoy! | |
| Do Thiel Audio CS3.7 Rock? While Thiel's might not be the last word in "punch" or anything else for that matter, I've never really thought of them lacking in that department, or any other for that matter. I think the appeal of Thiel, is the overall balance of all parameters... | |
| Does your system take you there or...? Very often it depends on the specific recording. | |
| Signature Anti-Cables Anti-cables ups the ante with anti-anti-cables? | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Mapman, suggests another good point. With vinyl there seems to be much more dependency on the accuracy of many more mechanical stages from beginning to end (user), and how does that actually turn out in overall real use?In the end, even with the i... | |
| Amp for Thiel 2.2? Thiel has used many different amps over the years to demo their speakers at shows, and sometimes for different reasons. |
