| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES One of the best things about the 6sn7 tubes other than they sound great is there are still a ton available and many at reasonable prices. I use them in a Modwright LS 100 preamp. I didn't go all in on the Tung Sol round plates that go for such hig... | |
| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES Thomas, I've read through your 6sn7 tube shootout many times. It's a great guide and has helped a lot in my selection. Any particular 6f8g tubes that you prefer? Thanks, Mark | |
| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES I'm using the Sylvania 6sn7 gtb tubes right now and love them. I actually bought several sets just to have backup. I also have a few sets of the Raytheon and Tung Sol 6sn7gt (not the oval mica). I think they are really close but slightly prefer th... | |
| Roon and Sonos I spent 2 hours on the phone with Sonos Support last night. The problem is the Connect which was purchased in 2017. It is now considered a legacy product. These product cannot accept many of the updates in the S2 app and actually prevent newer pro... | |
| Roon and Sonos The connect that I have is the oldest piece. I am having issues with it and the amp which is less than a year old. I don't use the port, arc and sub quite as much (for music at least) so I need to check them. Maybe they don't interact well and th... | |
| Roon and Sonos I'll be following this thread. I don't use Roon but have considered it since the Sonos app update. I am pretty deep into the Sonos platform for casual or background listening. I have a connect, amp, port, arc and sub. The app has major issues. Vol... | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget I’ll second the Dynaudio suggestions. I am sensitive to high frequencies as well and their dome tweeters are very smooth and detailed without being overly bright. I have no listener fatigue with mine. They are also not overly picky on placement. ... | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp I've got an assortment of 12ax7's and my suggestion for warmth would be NOS Mullard (IEC variety are less), Brimar (can be bought from Langrex in the UK for a reasonable price), or if new issue the Gold Lion B749. The reissue Mullards didn't do ... | |
| Experience with Modwright products? FYI, called Dan and he guided me through the fix on the LS 100. Just a couple of adjustable resistors whose pots can get noisy. Immediate fix and they can be replaced if I wish. Dan and Kristin are great to work with. PH 9.0 x is also ordere... | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? Speaking of Billy Joel "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" may qualify. | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? Set ’em up Joe - Verne Gosdin One of my favorites. Classic VG vocals. | |
| Experience with Modwright products? Great to hear all the positive comments on Dan and Modwright. I have an LS 100 pre that I love. It has a little issue in the left channel and I am in conversation with them now to try and address. The pre is a 2014 model so it may be due for a che... | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. @ronboco. Agree. I have diffusion and bass traps in a smallish room with a somewhat low ceiling. Tough room but I definitely could hear a difference. I installed both at the same time so hard to know which had the most impact. I could certainly re... | |
| Rythmik Audio F12/F12-400 vs JL Audio E-Sub e112 I have the Rythmik F12G and am very happy with it. Tuning it to my system was easy. I just have it filling in the bottom end and don't have it set overly loud. Blends in very well for music. I don't need a second sub in my room. | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @nitrobob Agree with your comment. I am 57 and have kids in college or just out. None of them have a decent stereo and they have very little interest in one. I have tried to get them interested and even have equipment I could give them. I guess i... |
