| Tubes for Eastern Electric Minimax Tube DAC? After trying many different tubes, I keep going back to leaving the tube out and keeping the heater off. To me it sounds much better this way. Rolling the opamps was more rewarding than rolling the tubes. There is a thread somewhere on this. It ha... | |
| Most Effective Tweaks? Mapman, what did you use in isolating your speakers? | |
| Paradigm Reference Studio 100v2. anybody listening? Yes, I also question the room. Have you had other speakers in this room and or with this equipment that performed well? | |
| One entry-level IC, one really good IC. Generally use the best one on the source. But everything is system dependent. So, swap them around between the two and see which way you like it.After all, it's your ears that count.Above all, have fun with it and ENJOY. | |
| Recommendations for putting new veneer on speakers Check on-line for a "Kitchen Cabinet Maker" or "Kitchen Cabinet Refacing" contractor in your area. They commonly do a lot of veneer work and should have no problem with your request.Good luck. | |
| Importance of input tubes to sound quality? An input tube is just a "baby" output tube, It takes the signal and increases the voltage, same as an output tube.Tubes are made with different materials, spacing ETC ETC and thus they all sound different.Same as how cables or capacitors sound dif... | |
| RF Interference - radio signal through my Transparent Cables. Have you tried a different pair of interconnects? And the results were? | |
| Am I too cynical? Some years back, after a long hiatus, I returned to putting together an audio system.I scoured the magazine's, made notes, ETC.Then I purchased the highly rated equipment here on Agon.It all arrived safe and sound and I proceeded to wire it up and... | |
| Recondition My Old Plinius M12 Preamp or Junk It For Something Better (and what)? We all hate to say good-bye to an old friend, but it seems clear that you have outgrown the M12. With the HT bypass and remote capabilities high on your priority list it would be in your best interest to get something that truly fits your needs. O... | |
| USB Cable Play-off I am considering the Curious cable and have a great interest in your findings. Please keep posting as you get a good handle on its performance.Thanks | |
| tube for ARC LS2B II preamp For vintage tubes, I suggest you google "Joes Tube Lore".He has tested many different 6922/7308 tubes and has posted his opinion.It is a good starting point.Mullard's are more of a softer, euphoric sounding tube and may be to your liking. You coul... | |
| Used Linn sondek lp12 worth? You could hold out and scour Audiogon day after day, week after week and month after month looking for that one GREAT DEAL.Or you could buy the LP-12 and enjoy it. The choice is entirely yours. | |
| Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp May I suggest that you look at 5751 tubes. Slightly lower gain but much cleaner.They are a direct replacement.Google "Joe's Tube Lore" for a nice review of many different brands.While your and my results will vary from those of Joe's, it is a good... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Keeping in the context of the original question, I also recommend Clayton Audio. Class A with a very "organic" sound. | |
| Amp Stand Cone Feet With a little work, your cones could be drilled out and resized to you're required dimensions.A visit to an auto parts store requesting thread inserts or helicoils might solve you're problem.Just a thought.Good luck |
