| Battle of the Open Baffles @larryi @kennyc The PAP Trios with the Voxativ field coil drivers are sublime, far outperforming the "standard" Voxativ drivers offered as the center drivers for that model IMHO (albeit at a significant cost increase). I heard them at the New Yor... | |
| The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023! Anyone hear the Voxativ room? I believe they were demoing their updated Ampeggio. Impressions?? | |
| The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023! @larryi I heard the Trios with the Voxativ field coil module a few years back at the New York audio show, they were fantastic. Driven by a low powered Pass integrated amp their sonic bliss was much as you so aptly described, lively yet non aggress... | |
| Estate sale Fuselier speakers for $370 but I know nothing about them. @thatguyyouknow Great! With some high quality electronics and front end you will have an enjoyable and rewarding system. BTW, I believe your speakers are the 3.3s. The base of the 3.3 and 5S models are different. From the picture you posted it ap... | |
| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker @bernardo Got it! Change browsers and that did the trick. Thanks... | |
| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker @bernardo When I click on "CAF 2023 Exhibitors and Brands" it sends me to a page titled "Exhibitors CAF 2022 Check Out Last Year's List Of Capital Audiofest 2022 Exhibitors". I can't seem to find this year's exhibitors on their website, odd as th... | |
| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker Their website seems to be currently only showing last year's exhibitors, or am I missing something? | |
| Sweet sounding tubes for preamps @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks for the follow up. | |
| Sweet sounding tubes for preamps @elliottbnewcombjr Thank you. And my apologies if I in any way hijacked this thread... | |
| Sweet sounding tubes for preamps @elliottbnewcombjr What was the alternate rectifier that you and your friend preferred in the UltraVerve? I have an Ultraverve and am using a 5AW4 rectifier as recommended by Kara. Was the alternate a different brand of the 5AW4 or a different typ... | |
| Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices. @mulveling Thanks, that's good to know. My tube amp (DeHavilland 50A) was voiced with Gold Lion KT-88s which as we know are becoming difficult to source new. Then there are the tubes of Chinese origin, Viva sells Psvane and Linlai, although they a... | |
| Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices. @mulveling Have you heard the Mullard KT88 that Viva Tubes is selling, and if so do you feel they are as good as the Gold Lions? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Anyone have any experience with the Linlai Global KT-88-D tubes?? | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes @jjss49 Thanks for your very informative post, it confirmed what I had suspected the changes would be. Of course, actually rolling in a quad would give the definitive answer... | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes @jond (and any others in the know) - What sonic improvements do you think I would realize replacing KT-88s with KT-66s? I understand that this will be amp specific but even a generalization would be helpful. I am currently using KT-88s (two per ch... |
