| Audion Sterling MKI Integrated tube Are you sick of me yet? I want to thank the audiogoners who went the extra mile, on aside emails, helping with a tube understanding, by sharing their experiences with me. Particulary, Howard (Boa2), Grant (TVAD) and Phil (213Cobra) the audiophool ... | |
| Audion Sterling MKI Integrated tube oops, I forgot to ask the Sterling owners. Any ideosyncrasies with the Sterlings? Tube noises? On and off tips as far warmup and extending tube life? When I receive my Definitions I would like to put a serious 100 hours of very loud-hi decibel-- p... | |
| Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker When you get the right sub, there may never be a reason to think about a speaker upgrade. Well, you know how this hobby goes. At least for a very long while. If I hadn't moved? Well, you would still be listening to your Paradigms. I am so happy th... | |
| Audion Sterling MKI Integrated tube I feel like a kid in a chocolate shop. It is exciting. It's what I love about this hobby. Like the new car smell. Nothing like a new addition to a music rig. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks for nice words...peace, warren | |
| Audion Sterling MKI Integrated tube nah, not yet. Firstly, it is nice to hear from first hand experience regarding the Sterling. It will take more than that to take the wind out of my sails. Also, as little as I know, I have learned that tube synergy is very important and Cobra213 (... | |
| When will your system be enough? Everytime I make a change to my rig,I say to my wife (and I do believe it when I say it)"this is absolutely the last time. My system is done."...or something along those lines. I cannot tell you how many last purchases I have had...can you relate?... | |
| Should a CDP be left on 24/7 or shut off & on? Isn't the Capitol always, if you don't shut it off from the back, on all the time. My AA Prima is. It is designed to always be on, and the display remains off. Keeps those little tubes toasty. I cannot imagine having any cdp long enough for the di... | |
| Upgrade? Power cord or CD Player? I would spend all $2200, and add a tad if I had to, on the best darn cdp I could find. The source. ALWAYS!! If you don't have a great pair of ICs, that is where I would want to go next. If it was me, I wouldn't want my cdp to be behind the eight b... | |
| Starting Over--Amp First Mike IMHO (given your percentage measurement analysis)80% leaves a hellava lot of room for improvement for these ears. 20% of a million dollars is still, no matter how you look at it $200k. That is a lot of money to throw away. I'm guilty of these... | |
| Starting Over--Amp First It is quite a mind, though. Speakers and source are no brainers for this 'phoolish brain as far as the embryonics of my rig. I'm not married to the which comes first chicken or the egg thing, regading amp and preamp, but speaker/source?-- for sure... | |
| Starting Over--Amp First IMHO: Speakers/source---Preamp----amp---power conditioner----cords---speaker cables | |
| Starting Over--Amp First Speakers first: Always | |
| Tube virgin no more Well my Passion has been sold and I am waiting on deivery of my (purchased used, from a Druid and Defintion owner) Audion Sterling SET MK I with vintage British Lion Gold KT 88s, and some other cool tubes, I'm told. Got to learn the tube rap. I'm ... | |
| Any limits on International Pay Pal transaction? Don't let Jflepera scare you. It's only money. As long as it isn't your mortgage money or your kid's college tuition: go for it. A few prayers, valium and not having a wife, will certainly help. If you lose your $$, at least you can look at this a... | |
| Preamp to Integrated amp hookup Well, the marraige is off. I left Dan Wright's preamp for another tube: Audion Sterling MKI integrated, coupled with vintage British Gold Lion KT88s as well as some other very hi end tubes. Can't remember the names. The timing worked out perfectly... |
