Looking for brighter tubes
though. I have read that the KT90's tend to have a more solid state sound and less of that tube warmth. I am sure someone will let me know if I am wrong.It could depend on the KT90. I have the Ei KT90 type 2 and with the stock input tube they soun... 
Question About NORDOST cables
Like I said earlier "the Heimdall is the best bang for the buck" cable in the Norse series. Honestly I had to 'squint' to hear the improvement of the Frey's over the Heimdall's. Also in my opinion the Heimdall is a big improvement over the Baldur.

Question About NORDOST cables
675 is half the 1350. I think you have a single cable coming :(. 
Question About NORDOST cables
Ok I'll try this again. I guess the mods didn't like what I said I guess regarding e-mailing members. Anyhow 675 is half of 1350 so unfortunately I think you may be getting a single cable. Nordost refers to non bi-wired as shotgun. Even at 1350 th...

Raindog Haven't heard back again from the Distributor regarding if that is the only change. Anyhow my black/chrome stands are staying. They just look too d@mn good with the Signatures.Paul - the stand4 doesn't ring when empty due to the way the ba... 
Transparent or Nordost?
You won't see them blowing brand new cables out for 50-60 percent off when the new line comes out, which is one thing that I have seen with the Nordost and concerns me.Per my Nordost dealer the company wants to rid themselves of the old stock. I h...

OK I was wrong. There is a new Stand4 and they have no logo per Dynaudio. Just got a reply today. 
Transparent or Nordost?
My Nordost dealer didn't receive his demo case yet but when he does and I can snag I will post back 
Looking for brighter tubes
Hi Wolf I don't have a Jolida but I do have an Octave V70Se which uses a single 12ax7 for an input and a pair of 12at7's for drivers. It came stock with a Sovtek 12ax7 and Rca 12at7wa's. For my taste the Sovtek was too bright. I also have the Russ...

Actually the Stand4 is only 3 or 4 years old. They replaced the Stand2. The difference is the Stand4 has a larger opening at the bottom to make it easier to fill with sand. When I first got my original C1's my dealer brought over the Stand2 and wh...

Raindog If you get the C1's get the stand 4. You mount the tubes to the speaker plinth without using the top plate. Then before you put on the bottom plate is when you fill them. I have only my rear tube filled 2/3rds with sand. Yes you do get a b...

Doc I've read the same about some of the Vivid - Focal - Caravelle speakers too. I do not have any dealers that carry those brands. Besides I just made my last payment on the Sig's yesterday LOL 
Stupid speaker test question...please help a n00b
Ah Specs. I learned a while ago especially with speakers to only look at the sensitivity spec. The most current reason is my Dyn C1's are rated 45-22khz. My brother in law has Vienna Acoustic (forget which model) that are rated 32-25k and we both ...
