| It was 50 years ago today.... Back when Rubber Soul and Revolver came out it was far more important culturally than simply a new pop album. In the context of that era there was absolutely nobody as hip and interesting as these guys in the popular music world, and you'd sit in ... | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles I saw a documentary (sort of) about the Joplin 356. The guy who wrote "Mercedes Benz" also wrote "Where Did Vincent Van Gogh?" And, I had a CD Walkman with a line out! It died, as did a more recent and inferior model...now I just use my phone. | |
| When do you turn off the tubes? I think it's a really bad idea to turn a tube amp off while listening to it. That's just me maybe, but it seems to really effect the sound. | |
| HELP ... Need Advice/Recommendations on Tube Amp Jolida power amps are easy to bias and simply giant killers at their price point. Before joining the "Single Ended Amp Slave to Efficient Speakers" cult I used a Jolida 502p for years and it sounded great, and was far less expensive than any other... | |
| Ampeg Reverberocket 212 Reissue or Fender Hot Rod Deluxe? I was playing in a club a couple of years ago with my Reverend Goblin 15 watt 1X10...a really small amp, but loud enough to absolutely tear up a small room, and since it's an open backed design it spreads sound everywhere. I recently mixed a show ... | |

| Ampeg Reverberocket 212 Reissue or Fender Hot Rod Deluxe? A 2X12 amp is unnecessarily bulky these days, so get a 1X12 version and there ya go. My 2 fave guitar amps are a (discontinued) 15 watt 6V6 based Reverend Goblin 1X10 combo with a 1X10 extension cab (if needed) with the same speaker (Jensen "neo" ... | |
| Life of KT150 tubes on ARC Amps If I ever had doubt about the value of tubes in my little single ended power amp, I'd simply buy a Pass XA25 and call it a day. | |
| Power Tubes Quicksilver Mid Mino I'm a fan of GL KT88s and have used them for years here and there. However, the Gold Lion KT77s, at least in my single ended amp, are amazingly better sounding than any other tubes I've used in this amp, including KT120s, 88s, and 150s...I was sur... | |
| Tube amp Low end Bass question I've been using 2 RELs for years with a few different main amps (current amp is a Dennis Had single ended little gem) and they're fabulous. Bought both RELs "used but mint condition" for relatively little money and can't imagine not having 'em. Kl... | |
| Life of KT150 tubes on ARC Amps I had a pair of KT120s last around 2 years of daily listening (amp on 8 hours maybe every day I'm around) to a Jolida 502p...I recently replaced a pair of KT77s in my current Dennis Had SE amp as one of the tubes stopped working...lit up, looked f... | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles Glupson...I was using Grado SR80s as part of my bedtime reading and listening ritual until recently upgrading to the SR325e...an astonishingly great sounding piece of gear that makes the SR80s seem reticent and low-fi, highly recommended...my last... | |
| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? Vibrapods under speakers on a suspended wood floor...mo bettah all day. | |
| Bi-wireing speakers AQ's "Rocket" line make great bi-wire cables as they're already separated into 2 runs per cable...I use a pair and they're an easy solution that are well made, well thought out (has 'em explained to me by Bill Low himself at a a local audio joint)... | |
| Schiit Freya Thump or pop sound My REL subs go into a sort of "sleep" mode when everything else is off, and haven't thumped once yet...I sort of forget about them as they never seem to be part of the switching on and off ritual. |
