| Record Store Day Better yet, what do you have your ear on? Dave Brubeck Time Signatures for me. I guess you have to have a goal. This is a nice novel for the ears. | |
| Hollywood Records reissue of Queen "Jazz" Queen, always a concert disappointment, but you could say you were there. It was obvious that what Freddie did in the studio was impossible in concert. They always sounded much better on vinyl/recorded, regardless of quality. Freddie, what a vo... | |
| packing magnepan 1.6/1.7 Call Magnepan and ask them to guide you through. They're nice, if they pick up the phone. I seem to remember that one laid somewhat on the other at and angle with a foam spacer. I had others that were shipped mono. I would call them. | |
| Road Trip Worthy Maybe Seen them 3 or 4 times. Always great to get on the Mule and ride. Originally I thought at the first concert, what a great lead guitarist. Yes, he really is that good. Sat there listening to the "support network", bass, drums, keyboard, etc.. a... | |
| “A Plan of Paris” by Anthony Wilson Nice, sets a nice mood, very raw, love it. Not readily available in the USA for a quality recording at a great price. Listened a wee bit on spotify and liked. Thank You | |
| My Impossible hum issue. Sometimes a professional with a multi-meter and an oscilloscope is the best answer. It's okay to admit, i have a son that's too busy doing this stuff because of people like me. Just because it has to be said, and I don't believe that anyone els... | |
| Advice on speaker replacement Great that you have components. This allows for changes/upgrades as you go. So, how does one go from mid-fi, to hi-fi? Been there and it has been a journey of 42 years. I am always looking, particularly in the used sector. I started with speak... | |
| Decware and “The List” @grinnell Well, if buying a used one is so easy, perhaps you can locate all of them? Decware hardly ever shows up on the secondary market. I had a great friend that actually died waiting on one. If he could know that I took him off the list aft... | |
| CLASS A POWER RATINGS While I do not understand their magic, this guy does all class A only, I believe his theory is, "if the first watt sucks, why continue". His go up and down from 8ohm to 4ohm, in either direction. All I know is, the stuff sounds pretty awesome. ... | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… Now that we know the speakers, I would go with a nice SET amp. You don't need lots of watts to get those speakers singing. | |
| Tube tester? Check craigslist, they typically aren't too much money there and they almost always seem to have. Years ago, every hardware and drugstore had one. You'd take your tubes in a grocery bag and plug away. I do not have one. I listen and if somethi... | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 I believe the efficiency of those speakers is 88 db for 1 watt at 1 meter. Not the most efficient. I ran a Threshold Cas2 with Linn Kan II (85 db efficiency) and loved the sound. I have to admit the Cas2 has the longest warm up period I have ev... | |
| Tube phono pre amps These are pretty good and they are on sale. Only a wee bit more than your target. | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? If we are going to compare, please compare fully and look at the "numbers". How many manufacturers are there of hi-fi and how many vineyards? Pretty sure the wine dudes are much more prevalent than the hi-fi dudes. You would think that as much ... | |
| How hot is hot when moving from class a/b to to a or tubes? Wonderfully efficient speakers with the Zu. I have efficient speakers that I run and have been running a Decware SE34I. The 6 watts/channel is more than adequate. This runs a pentode tube, the EL34, as a single ended triode. You will notice a ... |
