Bluetooth tempo and pitch issues?
lol...sorry Rel for abandoning this thread for a bit. I'm pretty sure that it is my crap belkin bluetooth adapter that is to blame, but I'm not sure either that I want to fork over for the 600 plus for the Chordette. I do love sitting and being ab... 
Bluetooth tempo and pitch issues?
yeah i guess not a lot of experience with this in AG world. Not quite magic though :) When they originally developed bluetooth, I'm wondering if they were taking us listeners into consideration or just the typical background music types..........(... 
Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency
I'm a damn happy fly on this wall gents...respect. 
Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency
Dracule I see this feedback issue hit a nerve as you started a whole new thread about essentially the same thing as this one. I'm quite ok now with Atmasphere's description of the facts and history of this topic. It is up to debate only whether or... 
Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency
very interesting article. So mass market audio companies are watching out for their best interest buy supressing this information? If they switched to this better sounding amplification, it could ostensibly eliminate many speaker companies and eve... 
Gone are the days of the great audition.
Yes Mitch!! Let us know what they say. Good ideas have to start somewhere, especially where there is a need. 
Gone are the days of the great audition.
Thanks johnnyb53....hitting the goldenear dealer tomorrow. They also sold me the amp so they want me to bring the amp with me. Now this might just be a great audition. Vinyl preselected!

I've been reading about non-feedback topology amplification and it being prone to be frequency limitations if not matched with the absolute perfect speaker system. Truth to this? If so, where are these perfect speakers that will give me the sparkl... 
Gone are the days of the great audition.
Rocker...that is where i was heading. I'm wondering if there is a business model there. I would gladly pay 100 bucks for a few hours of listening with no pressure from salemen. I'm sure audiofests are similar, but you have to wait and wait for the...

So this is common eq'ing with tubes? I'm not sure I'm patient enough or rich enough?! 
Gone are the days of the great audition.
So what type speakers would be "unfriendly" with a 40-60 watt tube amp then? Sensitivity below x??? 
PrimaLuna Prologue 5 and tube upgrades
so i broke out the audiotools and a DPA microphone through my apogee/mac interface. I pushed pink noise through the RTA and found that there is nearly nothing getting through over 18k. Tonight, I'm going to bring out my old yamaha amp and see if i... 
Gone are the days of the great audition.
Thanks for all the responses. If you have any more specific speakers ideas, I would love to hear them and find a place to audition. I will check out Deja Vu and the PROACs, JOND, thanks for that tip. I'm running a Prima Luna Prologue 5 tube amp wi... 
RCA interconnects for tube amp setup under $100.
I ordered that LC-1 thanks folks. Audiogon is such a great resource, but I should be called "newbie" here, not you Newbee.Interesting a couple of under $100 IC's showed up on audiogon for sale yesterday...mmm. What is this MIT terminator, should i...

I ended up with Bugle Boy's NOS from mid 1960's from Vintage Tube services. It really did add a bit of 12k upwards back to my setup. Also, the imaging and soundstage seems a bit more interesting and enveloping now too.
