| Quad Tube Rolling Speaking from actual experience, I’ve rolled the "quad" of tubes in my original version Freya often to get to what I prefer, and tried mixing the input and "left side" tubes all to interesting effect. I wound up preferring NOS GEs and Sylvanias, a... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Kaitty...you are seeming unaware that the Uncle Remus tales date from a time when racism was far more acceptable than now. They’re offensive to anyone but the seriously oblivious among us, and I suggest you stop using references them as it illustr... | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II Room designed for audio playback...baloney. You can and should listen to any well designed audio system with some time spent on speaker placement of course, but if the room is full of furniture, isn’t something like a shipping container or a WW2 s... | |
| Does Stacking Wireless Speakers Sound Feasible? Please stack a pile of LS50 wireless speakers...take a chance...I just want to see it...do it...also, what if an apartment neighbor has a pair of these things and his speakers pick up your front end and vise versa? Well? What? | |
| Another Music Direct Catalog observation To "pile on" bdp24 (!), I saw Dylan and the Hawks in 1966 in Honolulu on their way to Australia...the first concert in that arena (or anywhere else in Hawaii at that time) where a large pile of Altec A7s was used for the PA system (also the first ... | |
| Harry Nilsson The keyboard player and drummer of a band I was in during the 70s also were part of a stage production of The Point...a brilliant show...and the bonus was we got some theatre people to party with. | |
| Another Music Direct Catalog observation I saw Moby Grape headlining a show in 1967...supported by Tim Buckley and Jimi Hendrix. Grape (along with the supporting acts....I mean seriously...) were astonishingly powerful. | |
| Harry Nilsson Great documentary, and although singing isn't a quantifiable skill (best ever? Well...) I can agree he was one of the best I've ever heard, and although prone to some whacky behavior (to put it mildly) his stuff utterly holds up. A fave album for ... | |
| Another Music Direct Catalog observation Those who bemoan the influence of the historically relevant genius musicians of the past, although obviously entitled to their opinions, should dig a little deeper than a Rolling Stone list...that’s sort of like basing musical relevance opinions o... | |
| Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000 Because many Klipsch speakers are so efficient, a single ended class A tube amp can do its thing without the need for much power...I use a Dennis Had SEP (12wpc relative to output tubes) with Heresy IIIs and it sounds magical, as well as real good... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? I own a little pile of Morrow cables and never use their burn-in service as I'm always curious about what the differences might be relative to "virgin" cables...so I use my own system to season the cables. My experience doing this doesn't always s... | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? The Nelson Pass article where he describes his little harmonics generator goes a long way to providing a clue to the clue deprived. I'm glad Nelson is around as sort of an "anti Ted." Also, well said jnorris2005, as I utterly agree. | |
| Pre Amp / Amp for Klipsch KLF-10 I have an original version Freya that is simply a joy to use...and sounds great along with all that joy. My Dennis Had Inspire Single Ended tube Firebottle HO with 12wpc or so is plenty of power for my 99db Heresy IIIs, but curiosity and the recen... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable Buying one of those would be a reason to get a Rolex Milgauss. | |
| Schiit Freya + tube rolling Yeah, there's been some concern about the new powered volume setup on new Freyas. I have the original version and the remote is extremely accurate (capable of "one click" level changes with the perfectly fine supplied remote). The new version seem... |
