| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mister b4icu...your snarky and condescending response is weird since I was simply responding to YOUR question, but based on your posts I suppose I really shouldn't be surprised. Bill Low on the other hand was helpful and respectful during our conv... | |
| Schiit Saga which tubes to order? My Schiit Freya is a great sounding thing. I now have a pile of NOS and other 6SN7GTBs, and am currently using NOS RCAs in the "first" input position and NOS Sylvania "Chrome Domes" as drivers...works for me. | |
| Which EL34 is your favorite and why? Ditto on the Gold Lion KT77s...after using KT120s, 88s, 6550s, KT150s, and JJ KT77s in a single ended pentode Dennis Had amp (with various rectifier tubes involved), the Gold Lions knocked me out. An amazing 77 that especially compared to the JJs ... | |
| Personal vs. Market Values I've never met an actual (as opposed to poser...there's plenty of those around) "foodie" that got tired of exploring great food. It's time for therapy if that happens, and exploring things you're interested in can be an enjoyable lifetime thing wi... | |
| Anticables AntiCables look like they could use a sweater on cold mornings, although they do seem to work fine. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mister b4icu...I met the esteemed Mister Low when talking to a sales dude about speaker cables at a nearby audio "salon" (meaning one of the few hifi joints left) and he introduces me to Low who's standing behind me. Low is amazingly passionate ab... | |
| Personal vs. Market Values Personal taste is the only taste you get, and the good news is that it can be refined if you're aware enough and bother to expose yourself to things...keeping in mind some have a talent you may lack, or are simply more into something and you'll ne... | |
| Do you have a favorite vacuum tube? Ditto on 6SN7GTBs as they're used in both my preamp (4) and my power amp (1). Faves are NOS Amperex, Sylvania, and RCA. However, the tubes that made the best impression on me relative to other tubes tried in this particular power amp are the Gold ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I've spoken to Bill Low from Audioquest and he seems to really know his stuff, I trust his opinions (the ones I understand somewhat anyway), and like the sound my rig produces using his speaker cables. Been using his speaker cables for decades...i... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need My post got deleted also, and now I can't remember what I said but I suppose it was less than kind to the esteemed b4icu. Oops...however, to sum up, you should replace your silly speaker cables with gigantic jump starter cables, which seem to have... | |
| EQ for hifi stereo Schiit in your system only works if you use it by manipulating it with your fingers. | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Would that be a pizza thread or a tire thread? | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days I wish more people were into Jazz, but they're not. I was in Lexington MA the other night at a famous guitar store for a "meet and greet" with the Santa Cruz guitar guy Richard Hoover (I own a Santa Cruz guitar), and some music from the world clas... | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Pizzas...why don't they work as spare tires? | |
| open headphones AND speakers = Wow Slapback echo...I’m surprised that’s not something bugging people, unless a "doubling" tone is what's desired. |
