| Western Electric or Takatsuki 300Bs? I recently purchased 18 Western Electric 300B tubes for my mono amps and DAC. I have not placed them in my DAC but I will tell you they were a major improvement over the Gold Lions that I had in my Canary Grand Reference Mono's.. Way better bass... | |
| Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k +1 for Raven Blackhawk. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? Totally disagree. I have a very large rooms with a lot of glass and minimal walls. After a year I added 4 Vicoustic Acoustic Absorption panels and I could not believe how much the sound improved. It cost me $2K. I received a quote from him and... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's @jpan - I was shocked at the level of improvement I received once I add Vicoustic Acoustic Cinema Round Acoustic panels to my walls. I already have 18 HFT's scattered around. The panels aren't even in a position where they would be most effectiv... | |
| Room treaments I have a theater room your size. I added 4x8 wall panels from 4seating.com. I have plush carpet on the floor and nothing on the ceilings. Believe it or not it is almost to much. It is great for the theater room but not for a two channel room.I... | |
| Fuses FM = Fuses Matter.My scientific empirical evidence. My ears....that is all I need. | |
| Fuse degradation? Oh my, the three dollar bushman fuse will get you by, but if you want to hear even more detail and resolution, try a QSA or SR fuse. It makes a difference....agree with MillerCarbon. I can't speak to SR purple because it is brand new but I have... | |
| To horn or not to horn My dream horns - AER PNOE, Viking Acoustic Gottenburg. | |
| Looking for new speakers for large audio room When I heard my first horn speaker it was the Avantgarde Uno Fino. From there I went on a mission to find a great horn speaker. I came across a company called Viking Acoustic. After talking to the owner ( David Counsell) and visiting his studio... | |
| Fuses Would love to see an unbiased shootout between the QSA purple and the SR purple | |
| Speakers for triode tube amps Late to the party but would you consider a horn speaker? My Viking Acoustic Grande Voix are 98db. Check out the Viking line starting with the Berlin R and call David Counsell who is the owner, designed and builder. | |
| McIntosh Tube vs SS w/ Sonus Faber Aida II My local dealer has SF / Wilson and Mac. IMO, they only push those lines period. What other amp choices did the dealer have to demo? Aida are really good speakers. Electronics are super important. I hope you had a chance to compare other amps.... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread There is a specific direction to put your QSA fuses in that I published somewhere earlier in this thread. There was a lot of discussion on another thread which has disappeared today on a prototype fuse that is coming out next month. Given the de... | |
| Experience with HFTs I have 18 HFT's. Two are missing or fell off and are lost. My wife hates them and everyone that comes to our house tries to take them off the walls. I can say that I have not followed the exact guidelines due to the room structure. I probably... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread @kingbarbudaIs this the 1260 paste that was being referred to earlier as an alternative to Total Contact and preferred over Total Contact by (at least) one person here?No, I used 1260 contact enhancer. It is $350 for a 1.5 ml bottle. I don't thi... |
