| CJ PV-14L vs. Cary SLP-88 I have found new-production 6SN7's to be adequate, but admit I don't have experience using them as audio preamp tubes, just in audio amplifiers as drivers and guitar-amp preamp sections. | |
| The METERS....tight,funky vibes Speaking of which, we just got the idea yesterday that maybe it's the year to finally go back down to NO for the Jazz & Heritage Festival...anybody checked out what's happening yet? | |
| How Do I Start Playing With the Big Boys and Girls I stand corrected on the speakers' vintage... | |
| Help: low Maintenance Tube Amp short list. Jax2, that's an interesting amp to learn about. Thanks for the tip and the photo. | |
| Review: Polk Audio Lsi 25 Speaker That's a great deal on medium-sized floorstander that can go almost full-range with authority, if you like the sound. It's always seemed as if, in theory, the big speaker makers could bring good sound to market at a reasonable price if they cared ... | |
| How Do I Start Playing With the Big Boys and Girls Why don't you tell us about everything you're running now, and maybe also some things you might have heard which got you thinking about upgrading in the first place. And despite what sogood51 would have you believe, the first rule is that there ar... | |
| 3-Way Crossover's and Amp selection? I'm not gonna make any recommendations, but I will say that tube amps will not necessarily 'cut off' your HF extension, or even your LF extension in many cases. Depends entirely on the amps in question, but there are lots of great tube amps which ... | |

| Turntable set up recommendations needed........ This question gets asked almost weekly...suggest you try doing a forum search if rec's needed. | |
| Help: low Maintenance Tube Amp short list. Matchstikman, it's interesting that you already own tube amps, given that you seemed to come across as if you were a tube novice, and I guess you should have a better idea of what it is you want than your question may have led me at first to assum... | |
| Desperately seeking the elusive tube sound I can unequivocally state that the answer to all of your questions is "yes". | |
| What Instrument do You Play? Mostly guitar and some bass. Played with various rock & roll bands over the years, but don't think of myself as what I consider to be a true musician, just a player who's not really as good as people seem to think. I've never worked too hard a... | |
| Help: low Maintenance Tube Amp short list. Biasing is not difficult, especially on amps such as the C-J which utilize a built-in metering system. If making this operation easy as possible is really an important criteria for you, you might decide to steer clear of amps that require the use ... | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? Hmm...HP always did like Jadis...but if the service is like you fear, I hope the reliability is better :-) | |
| Audio CD-R's versus regular CD-R's? Cdc, I could of course be wrong, but I have a very hard time believing (in fact, I don't believe) that it could even be a misdemeanor, let alone a felony, to make a digital copy. However, maybe you meant to say *selling* one, which could be. |
