| Tonearm cable recommendations I bought a Jelco branded gold plated din cable with nice RCAs for my Linn Basik/Akito a few years ago and it’s great…uses Mogami Neglex 2534 in a weird pink color. I likely bought it from Ebay as NONE of my local "high end" salons that actually se... | |
| best 'affordable' turntable with moving coil cart Where do all the deleted posts go? Anyway…digital sources have given me plenty of listening fun over the years…a good jitter smoothing reclocking DAC and a tube amp helps, but if you have a collection of LPs like I do, going back to the early 60s,... | |
| Does anyone here own a Jolida 202/302/502 amp Old threads rule! I'm not shy about being a YUGE Jolida fan…I've been rolling tubes through my factory upgraded 502p for years now and currently use a quad of new version Gold Lion KT88s with NOS Mullard 12AT7s (6201 gold pin…amazing tubes), and n... | |
| Pass Labs 150.8 and XP-20 versus PrimaLuna Dialogue Premier HP integrated I think it's like comparing a Morgan 3 Wheeler to a Porsche GT3. Either will get you there in style but comparing them…hmmm…Obviously tube amps often sound VERY dynamic (can I say Kick Ass?) and I like my moderately powered tube hifi amp (my SS pr... | |
| Evaluating a system - what do you listen for? Undertones, overtones, and Dap Tones. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I talked to Nelson Pass about this exact thing and his response was unprintable in this forum (actually it is printable, but saying it's not is more fun). Suffice to say old Nelson doesn't support the insupportable or imagined..sorry mapman, you m... | |
| Power supply hum transmitted to loudspeakers I can put my ear up to the tweeters in my rig and it's dead quiet, unless music is playing and then it's painful…so don't do that second thing…but try a Humbuster if you can find one. I do tolerate some hum from guitar amps, especially a single en... | |
| If I block the speaker, will it damage the drivers? True about ports, especially since the mob continues to control a lot of the dock workers. Blockading the ports in that case just harms the consumer, but could possibly improve the sound of the waterfront. | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? I'm not sure what tonal characteristics are important to a "die hard rock fan." Volume? Sensing the presence of groupies? Being able to note the general state of mind of the road crew? What is the ability of speakers to "jam?" Is that when the spe... | |
| KT150 Tube Matching "thetubestore.com" has a wealth of info on what's important for tube matching. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Uh...right…although it has been claimed by premium fuse Athletic Supporters that the wonders of SR fuses can be realized in even crappy gear. That’s right. The wonderfulness is always there because it’s baked in…"lifted to perceptive improvements ... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? What are "lightdims?" I think I want some of those. | |
| low power tube amp If the distortion from overdriven tube amps harmed speakers, angry electric guitar players would be everywhere instead of just here and there. My tube hifi amp is somewhere around 65 watts per side and seems to have plenty of headroom (the speaker... | |
| Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions Note that the use of McIntosh products can lead to forgetting to use commas in forum posts. Also, I had a Forte Model 55 that sounded great, but not as great as my previously mentioned Jolida which, as I also mentioned earlier, has tubes stuck in ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... You take your chances…although I’ve been ranting seemingly for ages against SR’s overpriced examples of possibly dangerous audio tomfoolery, and have occasionally posed the still unanswered question, "why, and how, were they designed to do whateve... |
