| Opinions on the current market Can’t argue with that, Ralph. Plus with all our extra time, it gives more time to nitpick the system and look for reasons to upgrade:). Having said that, I’m in auto service, so aside from a few extra days off I’ve been working right along.... | |
| 6H30 tubes vs the others thanks for the input, keep it coming. I’m seeing so far that it’s like any other tube in that some like the sound some don’t. Tube rollers would inherently stay away, because they can’t change the sound. I don’t plan to roll tubes, although I once... | |
| Opinions on the current market @chorus. I was going to dutifully ignore your first rule, but in fairness to myself, I’ve been looking/reading/researching since just before the lockdown. Actually, probably a month before, since I had a few weekends when I relistened to a PL EVO4... | |
| 6H30 tubes vs the others Microphonics is the vibration of the tube’s glass, which introduces itself into the signal?is that the purpose of the damper rings I see around some tubes? You’re saying it’s more of an issue on 6H30’s more than other tubes? | |
| Opinions on the current market Wants/needs list:remoteHT bypass (although I can get around it, and may do that since I’m also concerned about ‘burning up’ tube life when the system is in tv/movie watching mode, and most but NOT all pres require the pre is on for bypass to work)... | |
| Luxman dealers HiFi buys in Atlanta is a Luxman dealer, and a better group of guys you could never hope to meet. I’ve known Al 20 years, and most of his guys have been with him many of those years. | |
| Opinions on the current market @Ihasaguy I’ve noticed that, but for some reason I’ve never been interested in Mac. I have a dealer close, and aside from their setup that used the OMG Sonus Fabers in a huge room with the biggest amps, a system that cost more than my house, I’ve ... | |
| Opinions on the current market Wow, you have been busy! I can’t claim any knowledge/opinions on any of that gear, except by reputation. I’m glad to see you’ve got the hard work (mostly) behind you, so you get off the computer and in the listening chair - hope yo u got a comfy o... | |
| Opinions on the current market Isochronism, nice RE-write:) @hilde45, I’d been watching your thread, interested in the outcome, but missed where you ended up with the QS. Enjoy!! You put in a lot of work to get there :) My old lazy butt requires a remote though | |
| Opinions on the current market Millercarbon, so my item of zero intrinsic value being traded for a component of some inherent value, I.e. ‘dollars’ for a component, means I shouldn’t worry how many of my dollars are traded for said component? 10k of them for a used Schuett Frey... | |
| Opinions on the current market @hilde45You got my point, thanks, as did @three-easy-payments: buyers vs sellers market. In reading old posts while researching used pre’s, some of the ‘you can get xyz-brand/model within your budget, used’ answers have equipment that is way highe... | |
| When Did Your System Disappear? I’ve had a few wow moments, starting when I upgraded my power amp, again when I upgraded the speakers. Initially I deliberately left them I spiked on the hardwood floor while I took some time to experiment with placement, and once I’d decided on t... | |
| Luxman CL38U-SE in the house I just noticed you’re using the 5T’s, I’m using 7T’s and looking to add a preamp, and interested in trying tubes. Good to see you’re still liking hat you’re hearing 2 years in. | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss like dpac996 above, I’m reading with amusement the answers to the questions along with the ax-grinding posts referring to who-knows-what drama from other threads. I’m interested in the answers to the questions as someone who is a potential future ... | |
| Supratek..Cabernet 6SN7 or Cabernet DHT As you know, there’s no cure for that, but there is plenty of support here :)I’ll be very interested to hear your thoughts! I’ve been emailing with Mick, and am on the fence about ordering the same pre, especially with his ‘special’. Just weather... |
