| Speaker Placement I try to sit with ham grilling for breakfast at least 8 feet away. | |
| Switching preamps in and out I have only practical experience and my comment applies only to amps with gain knobs (like the OP's amp) where no...and I mean zero...signal gets anywhere in the amp when the gain is all the way down (rare in home audio, common in pro audio), ther... | |
| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping HA...yeah...the Sovteks were an impulse purchase from an electronics/hobby shop so I was clueless about them...really bought because they were so inexpensive (about $100 for all four), but they look cool when glowing. I had to return the JAN Phill... | |
| Switching preamps in and out Utter nonesense. Amazing...If a power amp has level controls you can turn it down and switch input cables all day, same goes with the preamp. | |
| Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone SACD After hearing something on Pandora I recently found a CD called "Enrico Pieranunzi, Marc Johnson, and Joey Baron Play Morricone"...great stuff....nice sounding CD. | |
| Optimizing the Prima Luna Premium Integrated amp I'm still waiting for the Gold Pin Deluxe version of the KT120...the current version I own is just too inexpensive for its own good. | |
| Who needs drugs when you've got music? This thread just chewed the fun out of my gum. | |

| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping I should have said "ordered" the Mullards...they don't get here until Monday or something. The only tube Jedinite24 seemingly doesn't have (and I do have) are the el cheapo Sovtek KT88s I bought a while back...and damn if they don't also sound gre... | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker The 1.6 was maybe $2300 new? I've seen 'em used in perfect shape for far less...you want the outriggers because it's the only way to get them to sound like Polynesian canoes. | |
| Who needs drugs when you've got music? I almost cried at a concert...I got my finger stuck in a speaker stand while setting up a sound system for a Pat Donahue show. After the show I told Pat that this concert had a strong effect on my guitar playing...he thanked me and then I told him... | |
| Legacy audio classics "Topic Beaten to Death" is in itself, classic. | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker I want a 1.6...on my short list of audio wants. I will someday liberate one from somewhere...I mean two...I want two. | |
| Who needs drugs when you've got music? Wait...in denial about what? Wait...you're right. I admit to everything. | |
| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping There are a LOT of "small tube" suggestions around...I'm using "preferrd" 7025s (12ax7) from thetubestore, and recently added a pair of Mullard 12at7/4024s. Jolida's Jerred likes GEs, Michael Allen likes Phillips Mini Watt tubes...I like whatever ... |
