| kt77 vrs kt120 in Rogue M180s The KT120 has been so ruthlessly admired and deified that I welcome any thread that chips away at the rampant cheerleading these tubes engender, although I'm firmly seated on the KT120 bandwagon. Amps not designed for KT120 somehow seem to shine w... | |
| How many watts per channel are enough? Contrarian Assertion is the name of my old dude punk band. | |
| Powered Studio Monitors Ebay has a large pro audio monitor section and reaches more potential buyers than any other selling service. By far. | |
| PrimaLuna Prologue 5 and tube upgrades Replacing 12AX7s with "preferred" 7025s from the tubestore added some sparkle to my amp at an amazingly low cost. Same with some JAN Philps 12AT7s. I like it when a company recommends LESS expensive options that may lack the collector buzz (and pr... | |
| Mordaunt-Short loudspeakers I had a pair of little MS10s that were sweet...inexpensive from Audio Advisor in maybe 2000...kind of a budget Epos with a gold anodized aluminum tweeter with removable (!) screen. I can't remember why the hell I sold those... | |
| How many watts per channel are enough? Consider the fact that often you can save some money by buying the lower powered version of a well regarded design and get the benefit of a greatsounding amp without extra power you likely don't need. Pass Labs makes that point all day. And rememb... | |
| PrimaLuna Prologue 5 and tube upgrades I also come from the land of Pro Audio and felt the same way about my Jolida 502p until it broke in a bit and I messed around with various tube options. Now I wonder what the hell I was thinking as it has sparkle galore. Also, this might be the fi... | |
| tube amp storage Doesn't the 502p's "slow start" feature take care of that issue? And also, I'm sad you're planning to not use the amp...don't you care about all the people out there who don't have a 502p to not use? It's just unfair...*sniff*... | |
| How many watts per channel are enough? Higher wattage amps make you feel better about things unless you're an "efficient speaker with a single ended mini watt amp" dude, in which case you feel better when you point that out. | |
| kt77 vrs kt120 in Rogue M180s I've been using KT120s in a Jolida and found that they're a powerful and clear sounding tube, at least compared to the 6550s and KT88s I have around, but the amp really woke up when I swapped the input/driver tubes...done for no particular reason ... | |
| Cost of running a tube amp. I wonder about transformer heat in my Jolida 502p...especially since I put KT120 tubes in it. There doesn't seem to be much heat at all if the vented transformer cover is any indication...I'd think that cover would get hot but the only heat seems ... | |
| How many watts per channel are enough? Your taste in music seems sane, but speaking from experience, only if you (and your friends) drink a lot, you own a disco ball and/or play a lot of beerpong, love to dance all night to Dubstep, and your listening room is in an abandoned shoe facto... | |
| Should listings include the age of the item? For the record I am not a merely a Wolf, I am a Garcia. And the good news in "flipophelia" (has that one been used yet?) is that the reasonably careful buyer can put together an amazing sounding rig relatively VERY inexpensively using review/opini... | |
| Tube upgrades for Jolida 502B? Risking redundancy I offer the following: My Jolida 502p is currently sporting "matched" KT120s, "Preferred" tubestore 7025s (a Chinese version in the 12AX7 family that really sound great), and tubestore sourced NOS JAN Philips 12AT7s that I just ... | |
