| How different between B&W 804s & B&W 805s???? I currently use a Mac MA2275 tube integrated amp with a pair of 805s's and a TAD subwoofer in a large 20'x 27'room. Being a log home all the walls are (naturally)wood with a carpeted floor. The sound is excellent and there is plenty of volume avai... | |
| Directv music channel versus AM/FM Tuner ? As to the XM direct TV question the feed is perfectly suitable for background and party music. Also the quality of XM from Direct TV is noticeably better than the XM tuner I tried. That said It cannot compare with good FM. To chime in on your Mac ... | |
| Tung-Sol 6550 - Current Issue I currently have quads installed in Mac MA2275, Audio Research CA50 and a pair in my ASL MG SI 15 DT (single ended)all integrated amps. The CA50 is tough on tubes but these have been in for about 6 months with no issues. The MA2275 has been up and... | |
| Which TT Music Hall 5.1 or Rega P1 or P2 I currently own both a Rega P1 and a Project Debut III. The P1 has been up graded with the Glass Platter option and the Debut with the Acrylic Platter and a speed box II. Cartridges are a Grace F9 Ruby in the Rega and an AT30HE moving Coil in the ... | |
| Harman Kardon T35C Turntable and TCC phono preamp? Ed, They are pretty obscure and certainly were (and still are not) not marketed to the audiophile community. Having been (in the past) in the electronics industry for a long time you can rest assured that one of the reasons the price is so reasona... | |
| Harman Kardon T35C Turntable and TCC phono preamp? Ed, Have you had any experience with the PPC phono preamps? I own about 5 of them (3 different models) and while they are not SOTA they are certainly as good as and a better value than the NAD PP1,PP2, Music Hall and Vincent offerings. In fact the... | |
| Best Tubes For McIntosh C-2200 Pre-Amp In my MA2275's preamp section I replaced the 12AT7 Drivers with NOS Mullard CV4024's, Re-issue Mullard 12AX7's for the tone control preamp tubes(the tone controls are defeated and thus out of the circuit most of the time) and Sovetek 12AX7LPS in t... | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes The Gold Lion re issues have a tighter and deeper bass in the A70 than the Tungsol reissues. A leaner but not a thin or cold sound (they are not as lush). | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes Frreol,While I have had better luck than you with the Gold Lion KT88 re-issues I have also had excellent luck with The Tungsol 6550 re-issues. I am currently running them in 3 amps a CA50 ARC, Antique Sound Labs MG SI 15DT(single ended) and a McIn... | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes KT88's in general don't seem to do well in the ARC. I have not tried the Gold Lions but I did try the KT88 Cayin/Shuguangs that came with the Cayin. They were very hard sounding (almost like bad solid state)and they came out immediately. The Tung... | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes I am currently using both the Tungsol 6550's (in an Audio research Ca50) and the Gold Lion KT88 re-issues (in a Cayin A70t) These tubes are quite different sounding. The Tungsols being smoother with a rich midrange and have been ideal for warming ... | |
| High End Integrated Choices I also Have B&W 805s's and a room approximately 24'x27' with log walls and a carpeted floor. Currently I use a Cayin A70t re-tubed (although the stock tubes were not bad at all)with re-issue Genelex KT88's,NOS Telefunken 12AU7's and re-issue M... | |
| 12ax7 and 12at7 for Jolida 202a I have a Jolida 102B that uses the same front end tubes as the 202. I currently use 2 Telefunken/Fisher 12AT7's and an orange globe Amperex 12AX7. This combination has given me the best combination of detail and tube warmth. Mullard reissues,Tunsg... | |
| 6SN7 Tung Sol Reissue Mullard 12AX7 any comments? It always amazes me when people comment on products they do not own or have not heard. I have the Mullard 12AX7 reissues and while do look like the Sovteks the sure don't sound like them. They have a much smoother more extended sound and are not s... | |
| Tube amps and iPods I always find it interesting when someone disparages a format that they have not used and do not seem to be familiar with. I came late to the Ipod and only used them for travel at first. Later I tried higher sampling rates and the lossless format ... |
