| Does the 33 hertz frequency turn vinyl into super vinyl "YES" Guitarsam...are you 12? 10? You don't seem to be very sophisticated (hey, and that's fine) based on your writing skills, or you're simply in need of therapy to keep your odd compulsions in check instead of throwing 'em out in front of an audience ... | |
| Are systems genre dependent? The only sound that matters on my motorbike is the musical tone of a set of Norman Hyde Togas. Anyone who thinks good home hifi rigs are "music specific" seems to me to be unaware of the nature musical dynamics, or the limits of design on output l... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg A guy whose seemingly endless knowledge is matched by his gracious demeanor...I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to read his writings. | |
| Preamp Rectifier Tube Confusion I have a "preferred series" (supposedly a "select" ShuGuang) 274b from thetubestore. Not sure if it improves the sound of my small single ended amp, but it sounds great and the tube simply looks cool so that makes me feel better about the whole th... | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice Tube watts are NOT more powerful than SS watts, they simply can present distortion in a more pleasant way. I suggest a Black Ice (formerly Jolida) tube amp as they're well made, sound great, and inexpensive even when new. I owned a 502p amp and it... | |
| Musing - audiophiles that new just enough to be dangerous Missing...audiophiles that understand the difference between knew and new. | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? I've never heard a Saga, but then I don't get out much. It sounds like a long story (Get it? Saga?...I'm here all week...how 'bout that airline food...where ya from?). | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? I'm not surprised he likes his Saga so much...I think Schiit gets grief for simply being less expensive (except for pricey DACs) which clouds the brains of those owning pricier gear, or thinking there's a connection between cost and performance. I... | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? Most SS gear has a relatively low design bar and I do like the D'Agostino esthetic. I also like simple tube amps as they also often have a "steam punk" vibe like the adorable Dennis Had Firebottle HO I currently prefer. The only reason D'Ag charge... | |
| LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality The "medical" application seems a little strange as I will not allow my doctor to install a fuse in me...no way man... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about singers? I get the same vibe from posters who utterly ignore punctuation. | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question Anyone can buy a Dennis Had tube amp for 1500 bucks or so...bought mine slightly used a few years ago for around 1100. Score one for the Regular Guy. | |
| Length of speaker cables Rocket 88s are well designed cables (I have some 33s). Sell 'em online someplace to fund shorter cables if need be. | |
| Turntable placement and isolation The newer table is a Pangea from Audio Advisor, the older and slightly less "audio freak" table is a rattan end table from "my past" and simply flies in the face of everything "mijostyn"stands for and likely trips his mind into the cosmos not unli... | |
| Turntable placement and isolation My Linn Basik/Akito instructions recommend a light but stiff shortish table which I happen to have. They're right, and it worked amazingly well (suspended wood floors). I switched to an "audiophile" table with room for LPs and an extra amp on a sh... |
