| Rock Concerts through your rig? That's just what I was thinking as far as bringing a concert into a house. I was thinking a pair of Kilpshorns, actually, a 100 watt anything, a decent cpd and chair to sit smack dab in the middle of those big babies. That would do it for me. I'd ... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? When I think back to hearing Purple Haze for the first time (wasn't it the first cut on side 1?)I can still bring that feeling back, sitting in my room with the black light, posters, and ear bleed spl levels. Didn't need any doobies to get me ther... | |
| How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies Man, it must be me. I loved my Maggies way back when. But tubes? I just can't imagine running Maggies on tubes unless we're talking mega $$ worth. And I mean mega! And the room to put them in. I loved my Maggies, but bridged with 2 Bryston 4Bs is ... | |
| Tube question come on, you know what I mean..send it to him, over the phone, he be the man you'd trust to give you the scoop, right? All I'm saying (I'm agreeing with you through the back door) it's great to have a tube guru to validate the authenticity of a tu... | |
| Tube question Andy is a great guy, and perhaps a litte eccentric, but, like you said, you get the best from him, and it's the real deal. Can't ask for more than that, I suppose. Tvad, true he said your Herleen Hollands couldn't be real, but I bethcha if he told... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Jimi Hendrix-- Are You Experienced, and a nose behind, The Doors.....greatness still | |
| Tube question Aren't these tubes a very simple design? How complex are they really? That difficult to duplicate greateness of yore? Looking at the inside one of these babies it just doesn't look that complicated. But then again what do I know? Anyway, I'm beati... | |
| Tube question Why, for instance, with the labor cost in China, can't they make as good a tube as Amperex, Siemens, Telefunken, or the rest? Or do they, but we can't justify purchasing them and recommending them because they are so darn cheap? And you know that ... | |
| What speaker to buy to start over. I personally don't think of electrostatic type speakers when I think of rock and roll. I'm not sure how much the Summits are, but if they fall in or around $9k, I would give Zuaudio's (a brand spanking new pairA of) Definition 1.5s a shot. They ha... | |
| Yahoo transaction? Western Union? Or just scam Had a similar thing happen to me. I replied: "would you like my social security number with that, as well?" Hit the delete button. | |
| Which Bryston? I owned the 4B. If bass is your concern, grab one. You won't be disappointed. | |
| Siemens -Halske 6922 Nice Arahl. I was talking to another tube expert who has been explaining some very interesting things. Here's some of his points:Siemens-Rohne Cca not nearly as good as Siemen-HalskeSiemens_Halske between 59 to 72 are the real deal and are the way... | |
| Siemens -Halske 6922 Those highs scare me a tad--the leaning toward brightness part. Another killer tube that is close to the Siemens Cca or Siemens Halske, but maybe a tad mellower on top. Or at the worst: neutral | |
| Why Purchase used tubes? After reading Joe's Tube Lore on AA, the Amperex 6922 PQ, US (shield, gold pins) sound excellent. The Holy Grail Amperex (same with the pinched waist) are out of my league. Joe says the sonic qualities are very close, however. Also, another intere... | |
| Which "tweeks" are more important Quality power conditioner first. I suggest, however, plugging your power conditioner into a dedicated outlet. |
