| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? I was unaware (until I heard about it here and looked the damn things up) of the Emotiva CMX stuff, but it IS less expensive than the Humbuster III, and actually obtainable. Cool. | |
| Subwoofer recommendation I use 2 relatively inexpensive (bought used) RELs and they’re perfect. Can’t imagine not having those damn things….a Q150e and a Q108II. | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? I bought a now discontinued PS Audio Humbuster III to solve that issue and it did. Those things show up for sale here and there and something like that should be made by somebody else, but I’m not sure if that exists. Maybe as part of a good power... | |
| Measurements - Clearly Explained Had does go on about the 2nd order harmonics inherent in this amp, and regarding "dogma," the entire SET (or SEP in this case) world has its own dogma it seems, and I'm all for it as it's a thing that has transformed my thinking about such things ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Strangely applied pseudo logic from the beleaguered geoffkait (remember, he's sold bags of pebbles to place on your cables) seems too have hit a new low when he compares skeptics to OJ lawyers. Not that OJ's lawyers aren't relevant, they're just n... | |
| Audiophiles are not alone The feel of the instrument to the musician is what counts, and all that matters. | |
| Measurements - Clearly Explained The Dennis Had "Inspire Fire Bottle" amp I bought recently has NO specs anywhere I can find, except descriptions in his Ebay comments regarding things like output from various tubes and power supply design…I bought it because it’s cute (the first ... | |
| A good cartridge match for a VPI Scout 1.1 w/ JMW-9T arm, under $1,000 I've also heard great things about the Hana MC Shibata (the low output one seems like the preferred version) from at least the 2 audio joints around here (Goodwin's and Natural Sound). In fact, I don't recall any other new cart getting so much pos... | |
| Amperex 6SN7GTB Yeah…I'll maybe send a note to those guys and they may know what's what. | |
| I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud I was paid a few thousand dollars for some gear years ago…with stolen postal money orders. Took my bank a month to charge them to me, and they supposedly were investigating…right…lesson learned. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... They don't actually sound different, they don't actually sound at all. Fuses are utterly insignificant relative to the primary tone shaping components of any hifi gear, but seemingly can shape the tone in one's imagination if the listener really b... | |
| Amperex 6SN7GTB I have a pair that came with a Dennis Had "Inspire Fire Bottle" amp that have a side getter, and then I bought a back-up NOS tube with top getter and clearly a different design, although both tubes seem to work similarly and but clearly from some ... | |
| Full range or subwoofer with bookshelfs for best bass at low to moderate volume? My new-ish current speakers (Sonist Recital 3s) use a simple first order "cap and coil" system with "real good" Snake River internal wire. They're efficient, dynamic, and need dusting from time to time. | |
| General Initial Impressions--Genalex Gold Lion KT88 Reissue I bought a quad of el-cheapo Sovtek KT88s just to see what's what a while back and they're actually really good…a now discontinued New Sensor product. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 in my system? Look at the tube amps for sale here on the 'Gon…simply google anything that seems interesting and there ya go! I wound up with a Jolida because I like balanced inputs (I have a balanced preamp) and the 502P had cannon plug inputs at least…not actu... |
