| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Here's what I don't get about the prices of some tube amps (note my 3 year old factory upgraded kt150 loaded Jolida 502p is my current hifi fave that is still a great deal bought new)...I bought a class A single ended hand wired Burriss Royal Blue... | |
| Transformers humimg........again Look around (no longer made) for a PS Audio Humbuster III...I found one and it works. | |
| integrated watts or amp watts I think the sound quality of those watts is more important than the levels, unless you are hosting Dub parties where it (sound quality) really doesn't matter much except for bass of course. I have to wonder what people are doing in these "large" r... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... It's rare to see Norman Luboff mentioned anywhere...also, "naturally quiet" means quiet with some cricket chirps or distant frog noises included. | |
| Is your tube amp really a tube amp? I have an early tube celphone that isn't very practical at all...burns my head and the tubes break in my pocket...just not worth the trouble, except my calls sound very warm. | |
| Has biwire speaker cabling become "old" ? My guess is that people want to biwire things regardless of how they sound so Yun stuck the posts on to satisfy customer choice issues, or he just had biwire panels hanging around and figured he's use them. I'm willing to bet a VERY small percenta... | |

| Audio Research D-115 half tube install question Amazingly, I once removed half of the 4 power tubes in a Fender Twin Reverb guitar amp and and it still worked fine, albeit not as loudly...we didn't know...I would never do that today. | |
| favorite phono cartridge Sumiko Pearl...amazing. | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state HA...I didn't really know much about these guys before booking the gig, and I really enjoyed 'em...small world indeed. | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state I run sound for live jazz shows (recently Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo...check out THOSE guys) and am often baffled by any discussion regarding "live vs. recorded" sound. I have a piano in my hifi room...have played music professionally for 45 ... | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state Tube amps are more fun...that's the important difference. | |
| Running All Your Cables with The same Brand My entire house uses solid core...except my audio AC cables. | |
| Running All Your Cables with The same Brand Solid core makes sense to me (can't remember why) so my rig is mostly AQ solid core and it works. Electrons flow along carrying digits, speaker current, signal, and small bits of meat, which makes no sense....but still sounds great. | |
| Has anyone noticed... Also on friends that sort of sculpted roundish bookshelf speaker...can't remember the brand of those things. |
