| Which Would You Choose? Naturally, upgrades in components should yield improvements in sound. This is a complex subject. I could go on forever. Before you go that route, I would suggest improvements in all of your cabling. There are currently several high-tech sources th... | |
| Replacement Tubes TUNG SOL - $86,95 EA. UPSCALE AUDIO IS THE BEST SOURCE FOR VACUUM TUBES. TUNG SOL ARE EXCELLENT TUBES AND QUITE RELIABLE | |
| Any Thoughts? 'Unwarranted and unfair': The IRS is watching how much you make selling any items online this year — how even casual sellers could get dinged by the new tax rules | |
| New speaker cables - now audio seems panned right and left Sounds like you purchased a set of cables from China. (just a supposition). OFC cables historically take longer to break in. What I would have recommended is a set of ribbon cables that use "OCC" solid core copper (with or without silver plate) ... | |
| The Right Speaker Cables As usual, everyone has their own opinion of best performance. I won't criticize, but I might be able to save you some money. Over the years I have tried almost everything out there under $5K, married to a variety of solid state and tube component... | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? No need to go into detail. What is going on here is rather commonplace in all areas of retail business. I don't buy that much Audio online but fortunately the companies I deal with for audio have never given me any grief regarding a sale item. Th... | |
| Question on Chinese Tubes Shuguang KT-88-T (Nature series) Just a NOTE: Whatever you do, do not do any tube business with "CHINA-HI-FI" I ordered a matched quad of KT88Z's a few months ago. When tested, I found that all four were defective. It has taken months to get this resolved. Now YOUN LEE claims to... | |
| GOOD TUBES, BAD TUBES Sounds like the first three gentlemen that responded were smarter than I, or at least "should have been". I recommend that if anyone asks for a source recommendation for vacuum tubes, that you steer them away from CHINA-HI-FI Thanks gentlemen for... | |
| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? Ever hear of air conditioning. ? I have no idea of what speakers you are driving, much less your taste in music, but getting rid of PRIMA LUNA, well, I think you will discover is a big mistake, just for the sake of an environmental condition. C... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? Citing the type of application and music preferences you have indicated, if you are truly looking for that extra lower octave O -O - M - P - H as you have stated, do yourself a favor and look seriously at the entire lineup of REL subs. For dynamic... | |
| Merry Christmas to Me.....New tonearm on the way Good tonearm, however, if you feel that you have optimized all other aspects of your vinyl playback system, you may be slightly disappointed with the results of simply adding a new tonearm.. I'd be willing to bet that I could make some less expens... | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) I was going to make a recommendation but I don't think you'd listen to me anyhow. Where you're at and some of the recommendations that other's have made would be in a somewhat different direction from mine. No sense confusing you more. Besides, I ... | |
| Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker? The person who asked if he could splice 12 to 14 ga. wire.; - - - well to that I'd say "with the equipment "laundry list" you stated, the last thing I'd be worrying about is wiring." Coat hangers might even be O.K. This person must really be on a... | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? That is the first time I have heard anyone expound on this subject. I truly believe that late night listening is partially psycho/acoustic in nature. For most, in addition to the factors that you mention, the human body tends to go into a more rel... | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... A bit more follow up; - - - - Getting back to my recommendation of BLACK ICE AUDIO, in as much as you have such enormously efficient speakers, You could save a little more money and go with the F11 integrated amp. Same marvelous sonics as the F22... |
