| Coping with single sided deafness in right ear PLEASE make sure you go to an ENT for diagnosis if not already done. One-sided deafness could indicate an acoustic neuroma, which requires medical intervention. This is a serious condition if not properly addressed. (Speaking from personal experie... | |
| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? Pure Audio Project, such as; the Trio 15 ($8000.00). The openness and huge soundstage is hard to beat with open baffle. +1. Mine are with the horn in the center and they sound amazing! Clear, detailed, beauty, no grating sound, AND can be drive... | |
| Buying Used Speakers I would never buy used speakers without hearing them first. My current speakers were purchased as used, but only after listening at seller's home. My previous speakers were used as demos, which I purchased after hearing them at the dealer's establ... | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem Audio Mirror / 45 watt single ended monoblocks using 2x 6c33 per block. Used can be found for $2 - 3K. Good used value, sound fantastic and great customer service from Vlad. +1, from personal experience and long-time owner of these amps. But if... | |
| Searching for a little more warmth Not familiar with your amps, but I've heard many models of Zu driven with many amps, and I would not consider any Zus to project sound as, warmth and richness IMO, change speakers. | |
| Recommended RCA sub-woofer cable? Thank you. Get the best one available at BlueJeansCable. I had them for my subs and they worked great. Well built. I made sure to get the same length for each sub so no time delay issues even though one sub was only a short distance. | |
| Tube amp suggestions for Divine Acoustic speakers Check out Audio Mirror 45 Watt SET monoblocks. Easily drove my 87dB speakers beautifully. Loved the sound. And Vlad provides excellent customer service. | |
| Volti v Charney v Rethm @larryi - Thanks for your informative post. | |
| Volti v Charney v Rethm ... my concern would be bass energy in a large room because of cancellation of the front and back output which are out of phase (this reduces bass by 6 db/octave). I believe this is true in general, but as per Ze'ev, not so much with his PAPs ... | |
| What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier? Whammerdyne hasn’t been mentioned yet and is one of the best 2A3 SETs I’ve heard. I was just going to post that my Whammerdyne DGA-1 uses ultrawide bandwidth output transformers. I think it sounds glorious. Running NOS tubes. | |
| Volti v Charney v Rethm Not intending to throw a monkey wrench into your post, but you may also wish to consider Pure Audio Project Quintet15 with the center horn driver and four 15" woofers per side. I have the Trio (two 15" drivers per side) with horns, which may work ... | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. I've learned many things from him but I don't know why his gear that he represents seems lacklustre ... There are many outstanding so-called higher end audio gear that's out there and he doesn't seem to carry any of it. I too have learned fro... | |
| NewOnTech Dac07 - Any Users Out There? @wig Thanks for the recommendations! Always looking for improvements. | |
| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings For some electric/swing/jump blues check out Big Joe and the Dynaflows ... "Layin' in the Alley", "I'm Still Swingin'". And for some traditional/Delta/acoustic blues, check out Rory Block. IMO, the best acoustic blues guitar player alive, and wit... | |
| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings For some Chicago-style electric blues/jump blues with terrific slide guitar check out: Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, "Roughousin'", "What You See is What You Get", "Jump Start". A great band to see live as well. I've seen them three times and... |
