| Short list of musical subwoofers My big problem is that my otherwise wonderful custom built speakers only go down to 70Hz. So, which if any of these subs would make the audio sound the least colored or incoherent with having to cross the high up? | |
| A quick question related to Amperex Bugle Boys Assuming that this can be considered a high price for a dual triode (stereo) preamp tube relative to its NOS availability, when might someone attempt to perfectly clone this Amperex tube? https://tubedepot.com/products/amperex-bugle-boy-ecc83-1... | |
| which 6sn7 gives the most air?? I’ve used that Dehavilland/Chimera list as a guide and found the results spot on, although not complete. The VT-231 Tung-Sol, round black plates have it all, air, dynamics, 3D image, and a premium price. As stated above, Sylvanias are neutral w... | |
| Horns and 2in Drivers the B&C unit uses a 2" voice coil coupled to a 5" (paper composite) diaphragm, much the same way as the RCA MI-1428 field coil driver of yore (build from the late 1920’s, if I’m not incorrect), the vintage driver B&C has sought to more or... | |
| Preamp Recommendation for First Watt F4 My guidelines are single ended, 20+db gain, and preferably tubes. Not ideologically opposed to solid-state, but think tubes are better fit in general. My short list: This is a proven alternative to drive the F4 cleanly to rated output. ra7 said... | |
| Preamp Recommendation for First Watt F4 Please tell me about your experiences with the F4 amp driving what speakers and from what line stage. | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 Pass Labs admittedly and intentionally adds some even order harmonic distortion to all their amp designs. This is commonly known to be perceived by humans as a euphonic overall sound quality similar to tube amps, which many devoted Pass fans and ... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 I don't quite have enough experience to be sure that this is the reason, but both the Coincident 300b Frankensteins and the First Watt F4s are dominated by 3rd order harmonics, while the XA25 is dominated by the 2nd (and all three have low level... | |
| Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years I got my first F4 (actually I built it) to serve as a zero-gain bass amp to augment my Coincident Franks, but unfortunately biamping on the PREs just kills their coherency (I've tried both active, with the Lygdorf, and passive, with the F4)... ev... | |

| Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade? From what I've researched thus far apparently Unlike Mundorf and other ploy caps the Duelund CAST uses no poly or plastic and greatly reduces that overly bright and sometimes harsh sound and replaces it with an open fast but not harsh sound like ... | |
| This forum is antiquated. Thanks but those who run this website are the problem. Name me one A/V forum that makes you jump through these kinds of hoops just to quote someone in a reply. They're just too cheap to move this website into the 21st Century. | |

| 5.1+ Processors with Best DACs/Preamps? Anyway, about Theta Digital options, for a 5.3 system I would think that the most of I would need would be 8 channels, not 12. But why the need for that six shooter preamp when this seems to have all needed outputs to front, center and rear amps a... | |
