| I have another line conditioner question... If you hadn't turned on your system well before midnight when you did your test, it was probably just the sound of the gear finally having fully warmed up...I don't think there's much doubt that PLC's can be beneficial for source compenents withou... | |
| The day the Earth stood still? Sorry, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day. I'll try not to do it again... | |
| What makes a sytem "Fast?" "Fast" or "speed" should refer to rise times and settling times of impulses (as it regards individual components and the system as a whole, including the room). Personally, I suspect that for transient attacks, it is really more a lack of dynamic ... | |
| Another 6550 vs. KT88, 90, et. al.? 1markr: Sounds like you and I have a pretty similar take on the sound of the KT-88EH. Since the Hurricane's haven't been around all that long, I'll assume your original Valve Arts weren't worn out when you made the switch, meaning the EH's could w... | |
| Another 6550 vs. KT88, 90, et. al.? Are Valve Art Chinese? I haven't seen them being sold in the usual places I go for tubes, and haven't gotten any input on their sound. | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 PA - How are you contemplating attacking the 'arm-wire problem again? | |
| Review: Michael Wolff power cords Carbon Gain Power cord Michael: I haven't checked into your product or its construction specifics yet, but I will add in response to your statement that in VDH's all-carbon IC (The First Ultimate), they do not claim that the 6-layer woven carbon outer surrounding the 12... | |
| Another 6550 vs. KT88, 90, et. al.? Rwd: The EH's are the only KT-88's I've tried or heard. Which ones are in your Hurricanes?Trelja: In my amps, in my system, I can't really say that the KT-88EH's are "sweeter" in any way than the Svet 6550C's, mostly just more 'complete'-sounding:... | |
| Another 6550 vs. KT88, 90, et. al.? I am sure the KT-88EH's are fully run-in now, and there are some new findings to report. Specifically, my initial impression that there wasn't much to comment on regarding differences above the bass range needs amending.Further auditioning has mad... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Ha! I was under the impression that AY had already done this and knew it was 'easy'...I was gonna ask him how it should be done!...Maybe the way to go is to simply buy a spare 1200 'arm (thanks to mass production and an R&D and tooling amortiz... | |
| Records of the Year 2003 Hey Ben, Spencer and I both know you're 'wrong'...You know what about! ;^)Thanks Spence for the vote of confidence...so far this morning, I've listened to classical radio, Sonny Rollins, Carmen McRea, The Artwoods, The Fleshtones, and The Monochro... | |
| VTL Tetrode/Triode Hgabert: I have been posting my ongoing findings regarding the output tube question on this archived thread, but my comments there do not touch yet on the differences between tetrode and triode with the KT-88's installed. VTL has told me that they... | |
| Records of the Year 2003 I can occasionally listen to WC when I travel to Philly and NYC, and the new music they play is generally not of interest to me, but thanks for classing me with the closed-minders... ;^) | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Although I don't doubt that the Rega 'arm must be more rigid, I will continue to use the Technics original because I have the KAB 78rpm mod and like the interchangable headshells. On my 'arm I use the KAB fluid damper plus the Music Direct tonearm... | |
| Records of the Year 2003 Sorry, but I didn't buy or hear any albums which came out in 2003 that I would nominate for a list of Records of the Year, including any of the ones listed above to which I've been exposed (the Lips excepted of course, but as the vomitious Ben poi... |
