| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oy…"there's a seeker born every minute"…Firesign Theater. | |
| Vintage amps & power cords Yeah man…the Skinny AC Cable Revolution starts…I bet a case could be made for "vintage" AC cords…"although possibly dangerous, old, cracked, perhaps rat bitten fragile AC cables are the way to go for an original sound…make sure your homeowner poli... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations? Good…I'll wait for you to get your Shiit together. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... We've gotten rid of most gods (there used to be a lot of them hanging around), so it really is time to get rid of that last big one. I realize for some it's hard to keep their silly religious nonsense from permeating forums, but when it's as inane... | |
| Strange classified responses On the other hand, I tried to buy a specific phono preamp a few years ago on A'gon and twice after I thought I bought them they (2 different sellers) announce they're not in stock. BALDERDASH. As far as whining about seller fees goes, I've sold lo... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations? I want more people to buy the Shiit Freya so I can read more reviews of the damn thing as it simply seems cool for its price (el cheapo extremo), and the 3 operating modes look like a great idea…balanced and single ended ins and outs, tubes sticki... | |
| Alternatives to Psvane KT-88's ? Maybe sell me the GLs so you can free up some tube closet room. I also use "thetubestore.com"…classy bunch there. | |
| Alternatives to Psvane KT-88's ? I had some issues with Psvane tubes, albeit preamp tubes (seemingly sloppily made and one exploded)…but I can say the Gold Lion KT88s currently in my push-pull amp are a fabulous, somewhat "neutral" tube…a characteristic I personally like. KT120s ... | |
| How would you get into the biz? To paraphrase Steve Martin, "Make something that is so good they can’t ignore you." | |
| Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro? I have a pair of Silverline Preludes and for a skinny floor stander they're amazing…D'Appolito the night away. | |
| Vintage amps & power cords Any gear owned by an audiophile who cares about his or her credibility among other audio geeks (non geeks really don't care at all) should have the thickest possible AC cable, and that cable should be visible so you can point it out. I have a wate... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Fred Hersch was (and likely still is) an influence on Mehldau…I mixed a Hersch (his trio) show last year and he's basically a brilliant if somewhat quirky dude who plays his ass off. Interesting fact: He was in an induced coma at some point and w... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I recently saw Brad Mehldau do a solo show doing Bach and Bach-ish improv on an unamplified Steinway. The sound was amazing (Sanders Theater near Harvard), and Brad is a friggin' genius (a step up from regular genius). I have a lot of his recordin... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! I’m about to take delivery of a pair of speakers that use ribbon tweeters…a first for me…and I hope they sound as good as the aluminum/magnesium tweeters in my current "I won’t mention the brand as to not anger the OP" speakers designed by Alan Yu... | |
| Speaker Break In Question - going from single wired to bi-wired Some feel that each element (woofer or tweeter) needs a specific type of speaker wire, and those who say that are often wire manufacturers. They could be right, but the dude who designed my speakers told me they were "more coherant" single wired, ... |
