| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I was prompted to look up the health effects of graphene by a research scientist friend who is not an audio geek, and simply wrote about what I found. Tim states it's NOT a graphene product (except that it contains graphene), and it's not dangerou... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I just spent some time looking up toxicity issues with graphene. I suggest others do the same before pasting your rig. I wondered, when you "paste" tube sockets, where does the dust from cured TC go when you change a tube? What is the hardening c... | |
| What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you? I use thousands of watts to provide clear sound for concerts I produce/mix, but have become part of the "Lower powered single ended tube amp cult," LPSEAC or as commonly called "lipseek" (you've seen the t-shirts, right?). By joining the cult you ... | |
| Morrow IC's It's possible to have too much detail. If that French Horn doesn't back off I'm driving to the venue with a tennis ball... | |
| In search of Audible Nirvana, on a budget. Also note that the Freya allows 3 settings…passive, FET, and tube, so you can see what's what regarding the tube vs SS sound you like from the comfort of your listening seat. The tube setting is MUCH louder than the other two so surprises and hamm... | |
| speakers with balls My Silverline Preludes came with a brass ball option to be used instead of the also supplied spikes…so yeah…these are speakers with balls. | |
| Morrow IC's I want to know if the "break-in" process is reversible…if you prefer the sound of the cables before break-in, they will simply descend into the broken-in sound and there's nothing you can do to stop that except unplug them, at which point there ca... | |
| Chinese products My Jolida 502P was compared (by me, I schlepped) to much more expensive things here and there and I concluded its main issue was regardless of its sonic excellence, it was too inexpensive for audio snobs. It just was. My hand made Dennis Had Inspi... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me? When I was looking around for a tube amp some years ago I stumbled into the Jolida amps…not many reviews, but I talked to the MD people and wound up with an upgraded 502P…more power into moderate efficiency speakers than I needed (60 to 80 watts o... | |
| speakers with balls I drive the Heresy IIIs with a small-ish 12 watt per side SE amp, use a tube preamp, and 2 REL subs. These speakers are clear and clean with no treble fatigue, and this system will play anything you put through it with aplomb (yeah man…aplomb). No... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? There actually are 2 types of listening…me and everybody else. | |
| Dan D'Agostino Helius dual monoblocks, 1500w @ 8ohms My Dennis Had amp is hand made and cost 1200 bucks used (it was new less than 6 months before I bought it). I realize it's somewhat less that 1500 watts (around a thousand times less actually) but serves to make the point that not all great soundi... | |
| XiangSheng 728A The special things is the "2 knob" part. I also wonder if Schiit is taking any biz away from the "overseas" tube preamp market…a California made Freya lists for 700 bucks and works really well although it has only one knob. | |
| Recommendation Amplifier to match with Shindo Aurieges for Devore Fidelity Nines A Dennis Had triode…there have been a few on Ebay in recent months (after a little break), and I always wonder why they aren't purchased immediately by somebody. Simply hand made world class excellence that stands up to any single ended amp anywhere. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I agree that if a preamp was going to blow up your speakers it would do it by sneaking around late at night and attaching a bomb to them. Jolida (I like Jolida stuff), Vincent, Hegel, Prima Luna, Monitor Audio, etc., etc., (many of which are REAL ... |
