| Where do the tubes go? Relax and don't be stupid (get a reasonably powered amp with outputs at 8 and 4 ohms, plug it in, enjoy). Regarding reliability, there are FAR more tube guitar amps than hifi amps out there and they're often mercilessly dragged around, including c... | |

| Where do the tubes go? I bought a new factory upgraded Jolida 502P for a little over a grand, it requires almost zero maintenance (you don't HAVE to tube roll, and the bias adjustment screws are easy to get to on the top of the amp), and sounds fabulous right out of the... | |
| Where do the tubes go? Tube power amps can open the door to "even harmonic" slam and are often interesting to look at. I like a seemingly unadulterated, clean as possible SS Class A balanced preamp signal into a tube power amp as that combo seems to work for me, and giv... | |
| Tube Preamp with HT Bypass Under $1200 You could maybe buy a NEW all tube Jolida 3000b, and I think it has a direct out. | |
| ARC Vsi60 with KT120 valves - issues Although I understand that mentioning tube rolling results in another brand of amp might be meaningless, I offer the following: I've used the stock Tung Sol 6550s, Sovtek KT88s, and KT120s in my Jolida 502p. All sounded great, but I prefer the 120... | |
| Would new speakers---- Happier than what? | |
| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum Yeah...chicks dug me...I always smelled fresh as a daisy, although it was the late 60's in Honolulu which meant much less clothing to worry about. | |
| Pro audio amp vs. residential amp I would love to see the results of a "blind listening" shoot out between similarly powered high quality pro audio amps and extreme high end amps from somebody like Boulder or Constellation...somebody do this and report back to me. | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? I rest my case. | |
| Pro audio amp vs. residential amp I'm not implying that Bryston stuff is universally accepted, or universally deemed unnacceptable, as that would be a condescending statement of the obvious and my audio geek bretheren deserve better. Or do they...hmm... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? I do tire of people telling me how my system sounds, but again, since I listen to things and judge signal degradation with my very experienced ears and not the opinions of fatuous psuedo experts, I can say there is nothing to be done with my thoro... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? I have a carefully and properly set up turntable that sounds great, and the only difference between the phono preamp filter being on or off is that when it's on the woofers don't pump with subsonic crap and my tube amp's bias lights don't indicate... | |
| Pro audio amp vs. residential amp Bryston amps have been raved about among home audio reviewers for years, and might be among the few brands that have successfully hurdled the "pro" vs. "home use" barrier. In recording studio use anyway...not so much in PA systems for various reas... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? Rumble filters, if working properly, will delete the fight scene from West Side Story...a weird side effect. |
