| Need help on speaker decisions There's nothing old fashioned about modern tube amps...they can sound amazingly clear, accurate, and capable. The added advantage over SS amps is people will think you're a better person than you actually are. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? In the world of "musician appreciation," Peter Green is generally considered a guitar god, Zappa is and was one of the most respected composers and guitar players of his generation, and Lindsey Buckingham is a gazillionaire uber successful dude wh... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Fleetwood Mac are certainly successful (I saw 'em live by accident once and they were great)...Christine McVie has an amazing voice and has rejoined them I think. My point is that there are other people out there who are worthy of attention and ev... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? My 22 year old daughter produces live shows, which is great for somebody with an Art History degree... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? "Humbusters" are discontinued, but I found mine after searching around a bit so they're still out there. Great bit of kit as they say. | |
| New KT150 tubes? My 120s refuse to die, and there is no reason 150s should cost much more than 120s, except for greed and market demand, which makes the world go around. That and momentum in space and gravity...or something. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? High End audio is NOT the music business which is actually doing fine...big "gate keeper" labels are having to adjust or die, but independent musicians are figuring it out...online concerts, live shows to sell your swag and CDs...all good. Ever kn... | |
| McIntosh to be on How It's Made this Thursday I think the LEDs are there for fun mostly. I learned from the show that you should keep your fingers away from the metal bending machine, and keep your nails in presentable shape for closeups. They had to pick McIntosh for the show as otherwise it... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? I am a "humaphobe" and will not tolerate hum in hifi gear. I have 2 amps (tube and SS) plugged into a PS Audio Humbuster III (mostly for transformer hum in the SS amp...used rarely only for outdoor deck speakers), and my tube amp (Jolida jd502p) i... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? The issue I have with high end is mostly with the retail end of things. They barely do anything to promote music (ever see a small concert at an audio salon? No? Me neither), and apparently are happy with business as usual...I asked somebody at Go... | |
| More Tubes = Better Sound Musing: I have a 4 output tube with 4 input tube classic push/pull design amp. It has more than enough juice (65 watts per side, 85 watts peak) to power the speakers I use in the room I use, and when I think about replacing it with a well regarded... | |
| Top brand speakers An interesting position in these forums is the one taken by somebody certain about sound he hasn't actually heard. In my live sound job I've encountered so-called experts here and there, and a few times they've been presented as an artist's person... | |
| Top brand speakers Remember, Bo has 16 years of experience selling stuff, and has heard live music someplace. Armed with cliches gleaned from the lexicon of subjective audio terms, he will not cave until every reader is astonished with his ability to reveal his inna... | |
| High level Subwoofer connection Is it possible to use a high level input if there isn't one? The post says "(ie, REL recommended)" which seems to indicate a REL is in the works...hmm... | |
| High level Subwoofer connection I'm using a maybe 12 foot run of Canare Star Quad with spades at the amp end and an angled (recommended) Neutrik Speakon on the REL side for my single Q150e...looks and sounds great. |
