| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? I now have a pair of 99db efficient (allegedly) Klipsch Heresy III speakers that seem to work very well with my silly little 12 watt per side SEP amp. To put this in sophisticated audiophile terms, it can now rip the paint off the ceiling and fry... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? So Mapman…if you or If anybody is looking for a pair of these damn things (Heresy IIIs) I don’t mind sharing the fact that I got them from Ebay as a pair from a supposed "authorized" dealer (the 5 year Klipsch warranty is supported they say). I wa... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Anybody who thought my post was "bullying" needs to go to their safe spot and nap for a while. I could post a "trigger warning" before writing things, but then I’d just feel like I’m pandering to the uber sensitive among us, and really, I’m just h... | |
| Tube amp powered up? I found that the current version of Gold Lion's 12AX7s sound great, aren't expensive (at least relative to "vintage" tubes), and, most importantly, look cool. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? I've recently changed my mind about Special Fuses…I used to think they were useless and silly "faith based" tweaks, but now I think purchasing those things could be a sign of some sort of insanity so my compassion tendency kicks in (or maybe it's ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Just got a pair of Heresy III "Capitol Special Edition" speakers…unboxed last night actually (late…traveling and they'd been left on my porch…thanks USPS Sunday delivery!..man…). I any case, I'd ordered the regular black ones but they (Ebay "open ... | |
| Sub Integration Note that properly utilized subs add far more to your sound than simply bass tone, as the overall "feel" of a system can improve dramatically with the addition of what has been called "charging" of the room with a good sub or two. Everything sound... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Bo's posts are hard to follow? He comes around from time to time with his imagined "expertise" and posts long tributes to his seemingly vast (20 years? It was less a few rants ago) experience gleaned from selling audio gear and honing his superior... | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube Deep freezing is an unnatural and frankly tawdry thing to do to your poor little tubes. I was warned against those years ago from people who've had them fail, so I avoid previously frozen tubes and only use fresh, un tainted tubes. Some do arrive ... | |
| Schiit taking orders (as of Dec 23) on Freya preamp I live thousands of miles away from the Schitter, and based on your experience that may be a good thing. | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube Kaitie makes an interesting point, although pointless. Cryoed tubes don't perform any better than other tubes, don't necessarily last longer, and the myth that extreme freezing and thawing of grid screens and tiny wires improves anything is sales ... | |
| Advice for a Tube Amp, TT setup only Get a used Jolida integrated (an all tube one), and an inexpensive Cambridge Audio phono preamp. Done. | |
| KEF, ProAc, Monitor Audio and others Does 4d involve eating something? 4th dimension universes? I've been around pro studio stuff since the late 60s (my guitar licks in an airline commercial haunted me for years) and I'm amazed at how talented engineers got great sound from Heils and... | |
| What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ? My speakers are sometimes blocked by the pole dancers. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Does the "cold hard evidence of measurement" actually have anything to do with personal taste in musical tone? Measurements and personal comprehension anomalies aren't completely mutually exclusive, but aren't matching either. If horn loaded speak... |
