| High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older Well I guess this can all be summed up quite nicely by saying; as one gets older, one (hopefully) accumulates more wealth, which means one can buy more and better equipment. | |
| DC Metro -- New Thanks | |
| Totem Mani 2 sig what do you think? Actually still using tubes but no longer have the Mani's. Went the Quad route instead. Right now I'm running the Model Ones with my tubes. If you cannot afford the Mani's, check out the Model Ones. You can pick-up an original pair (not signatures)... | |
| DC Metro -- New Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Long time over due. A little hot upstairs, but looking forward to next year. Wheres the photos?? | |
| Totem Mani 2 sig what do you think? You might want to check this thread I started a few years ago "Upgrading to Totem Mani 2's". | |
| B&W LCR600 s3 or HTM2 center speaker My experience with the HTM2 when I was running 805's in the front of my home theater was that is was much better than the lcr600 (I returned the 600). However, I must qualify that statement with the fact that I no longer use a center channel speaker. | |
| Conrad Johnson 17LS Power Cord Recommendations Clayeton, what power cord came with the 17LS? The reason I ask is that I tried several different PCs with my CT-6. The factory PC that came with the CT-6 had what CJ calls their hospital grade cord. At least I think that is what Lew Johnson tol... | |

| Help: My newly upgraded AA Capitole gives no sound Lall - I was hoping for a follow-up. Did AA take care of your problem? | |
| Tube flash "How old was the tube that failed? Have you contacted Kevin in regards to the tube's failure (and possible warranty)? Did the same thing happen more than once? You mentioned, "the problem has continuedNo I havent contacted Upscale the first tube... | |
| Tube flash Rodman, funny you should mention Upscale because thats where these tubes were purchased. I guess its the luck of the draw, and in my case, my draw was aces over sevens. And Newbee, you have an interesting premise. I should have mentioned though ... | |
| Tube flash Thanks everyone very much for your comments. It was a power tube, coincidentally an EL34, as mentioned by Steveaustin. I did try the tapping test and saw no flicker in the testing lamp, and no, I did not put the tube back in the Amp after I tested... | |
| EL84 amp Vs. EL34 amp I went from an EL84 amp to an EL34 amp. The amps are different manufacturers, which I'm sure accounts for some of the differences, but in general, I found the EL34's to be warmer and sweeter sounding than the EL84's. | |
| Help: My newly upgraded AA Capitole gives no sound Lall, sorry to hear about the problems youve had. I know that when I read about problems with a product that I own it makes me cringe a bit. To me theres nothing worse than the thought of having a $5,000 + audio anchor, other than I guess actual... |
