| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? I never wink unless something unwanted gets in my eye, but that's more of a blink. Also, at my house on the lake (which doesn't actually exist), we always look at tubes as fun. I think we're just wired for fun around here. I also think car tires a... | |
| Replasment for Mullard Long Plates? NO...I need more. But I might actually do that. Thanks. | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? Yeah yeah yeah...doesn't it seem idiotically simplistic to make a judgement call about this particular area of aesthetic esoterica? And does anybody realize what I just wrote made no sense? I WAS joking around but I might have been accidentally co... | |
| Wilson Sophias and Jolida Integrated Jolidas often have a 4 ohm output tap. | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? I've said it before: Tubes are more fun. There, I said it again. Anybody currently using SS amps for anything other than live sound reinforcement is anti-fun. I'm sorry, but it's true, and there's nothing wrong with that so don't feel bad as there... | |
| Replasment for Mullard Long Plates? But what about the Gold Lion 12ax7s? I need more information. At least 17 more words or 3/8s of a paragraph...something...anything. | |
| S.S. Replacement for Jolida 302B w/ Silverlines? I've heard a Vincent 236 integrated and I like it...it's good...and the tubes last a very long time. Also, the thing is a lot larger in person than the pics indicate, so you can get your largeness gear thing going on. | |
| One source delivering higher volume. I'm more amazed at how similar the "line level" output is among this stuff. My reference for line level is my rarely used tuner as it has no output level control (and neither do I seemingly). My phono preamp output is lower though and I assume it'... | |
| Replasment for Mullard Long Plates? Stevecham...are the Gold Lion's innards (technical term) the same as the modern Tung Sols? They look very similar. | |
| Replasment for Mullard Long Plates? Current Tung Sol sound fine in my rig (compared to some JJs and old Mesas I had hanging around)...seems like a goldless Gold Lion, but if the Gold Lions are truly better I need to know why and how and I will then get them and stick the bastards ri... | |
| Help me complete a system - Gaps here "What HiFi" has a review/comparison of a pile of cans. That's right...cans. | |
| Driver/Input tubes I appreciate all of this...although I think my comprehension capabilities are being woefully overestimated. I'll look for the schematic...but bear in mind my amp is a 502P basic power amp, NOT an integrated, hence the query. | |
| Driver/Input tubes Good answer but Johnsonwu...come on dude...you know me...I would NOT understand a schematic. I could take a basic electronics course at a local community college but it would drastically cut into my nap time. Also, the Jolida doesn't have 12AU7s b... | |
| For money Quality which is better arcam or NAD? Bizango...Rawr is NOT free to choose between them...he's bound by principle to be guided by our opinions and, unfortunately, I don't have one. | |
| Best Chinese Preamp for Bryston 7B Sts? I have an astonishing Chinese (made by astonished Chinese people) Kavent S-33 preamp, a brand which seems to have vanished along with its resale value (although it's so good I doubt I'll sell it any time soon). So, now that I think about it, that ... |
