| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp I certainly wouldn't recommend the Heresy IIIs without subs as even with putting them on the floor with their angled risers (as I do, although they're maybe 1.5" taller on the blocks I use). Maybe if stuffed into a corner, but that causes more of ... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Having a couch in your soundstage could be relaxing…having a cow in your soundstage could be disturbing. Everyone should know these things. | |
| Rolling KT150s in Primaluna hp integrated Like I said…not sure why but in the amps I used them in (a factory upgraded Jolida 502P, and a Dennis Had "Inspire Fire Bottle" single ended thing) they were too similar to the 120s…since I sold the 150 quad with the Jolida amp I might still try a... | |
| Vacuum Tube Retailer Option Yeah man…Mullard 6201s and 4024s…I simply bought them from "Uppity," they sent them to me, and I used them. Just not that difficult at all. | |
| Rolling KT150s in Primaluna hp integrated I prefer the sound of KT120s over 150s (I used 'em in both a push-pull and a single ended amp, the use of which was approved by the manufacturers of both amps) for reasons I can't explain as they're subtle, or I can't remember what they are. Somet... | |
| Vacuum Tube Retailer Option Thetubestore, Tube Depot, and even Uppity Audio for some flashing Mullards…all no problemo. | |
| New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix? I thought it was spelled "micro arching" but I stand corrected…otherwise it could be a small scale podiatry problem. I agree that the goo promotion was surprising with an aura of desperation. Did sales slow down somehow?I have dimmers all over my ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Deoxit has a proven track record and basically claims to do exactly what Magic Goo does, albeit at much lower cost with instant results (I have no idea how long I've been using it as the pesky stuff lasts forever). That is the definition of "apple... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I might have said this before but I don't think the Heresy IIIs "sound" like horns really, but maybe that's just me (I use horn loaded speakers in my studio, pro mixing gigs, and have owned a lot of speakers including Altec A7s years ago…now that'... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Note that for every 10 bottles of this stuff, $3000 goes somewhere, with a forum based promotional campaign unique to only a few products I know of: SR fuses, both black and blue (and maybe one other red version can be included), and this Magic Go... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Since it’s going to be a long time before my can of Deoxit runs out, I plan to wait patiently to see if the audio community at large embraces the Magic Goo, and consequently wakes up to what is seemingly an epidemic of micro-arching. There’s a rea... | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano JBL used to make a very cool keyboard speaker that someone I worked with in the early 80s used. It had a shallow but tallish cabinet, a 15" woofer and one of those "bullet" tweeters. | |
| Getting into tubes Stop. Don't do it…sure, they might "sound" better, but you're entering a rabbit hole of tube rolling and possible tube obsession that is often impossible to escape. There simply is no cure...purveyors of solid state amps generally say "Hey, our st... | |

| Deoxit for cables I think applying the term "theoreticaly" to a statement of the obvious (Contact cleaners clean the contacts. Who knew?) shows a clear disregarding of irony. Yping, you are an Irony Dodger. |
