| Seeking best sounding El-34 tubes for my power amplifier Kjl1065, I really don’t see a need to purchase EL34 power tubes from Brent. I’ve gotten tubes from him in the past and everything worked out well but you’re gonna pay very high prices for the tubes. I have several tubes testers in my home so I’ve ... | |
| Rogers LS3/5A value I do understand for some reason that some people prefer the 11 ohm version of the LS3/5a speaker. When I first purchased my first pair of LS3/5a speakers I noticed that an 11 ohm version was available and no one was buying it, so I grabbed it and ... | |
| Seeking best sounding El-34 tubes for my power amplifier I don’t have any experience with PSvane but I have some friends that use them and like them. Honestly, with what I know about tubes today, I would get whichever power tubes are good sounding and a good price. I believe that if you are using a lot ... | |
| Seeking best sounding El-34 tubes for my power amplifier There is no best sounding EL34. I learned this the hard way. I have about 300-400 tubes in my collection and thought the same way you do. All tubes will have their own unique sound. Many are really good sounding while others aren’t. But at times e... | |

| Rogers LS3/5A value Hello Parkergetdean, unfortunately I’m replying to this after the auction has completed. I didn’t read all the responses but I went through a few and actually ran into one person, deep_333 that said these speakers are terrible. Goes to show that ... | |
| Your oldest gear? I have plenty of modern components but My oldest gear, 1957 Marantz 7 tube preamp. 1950’s Dynaco Mk 3 amplifiers. 1957 Thorens TD124 turntable. I have many vacuum tubes that date back into the 1940’s. Not using my Dynaco’s amps in any of my setups... | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions Well no worries ther speaker is going to sound as magical as magnepans when they are setup correctly. So your question is interesting in that you’ll be going towards a completely different sound. I think if you love the sound of magnepans, then ke... | |
| You are there vs. They are there I have both setups in my house and for vocals and single instrumental music a lot of people like to hear the musician in the “they are here” presentation which is usually accomplished with single end amplification. Pushpull amps will give the pres... | |
| You are there vs. They are there I think the correct way to word the question is, “they are there, or they are here”. So the musicians can be there which means the music sounds like it’s between the speakers and behind the speakers. When you say, the music or musicians are here ... | |
| Can I get my Prima Luna to sound more like a SET/300B? I have to tell you the truth, the answer to your question is maybe you can get it a little bit but your pushpull amp will never sound like a single end amp. Single end amps have a different sound than push pull amps. Nothing you can do to change ... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? Both amps are very transparent, both have great bass and excellent highs. Both are very open. Both have wonderful sounding midrange and very palpable and natural. But I find the single-end amp is more focused in the midrange. The push-pull sounds ... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? I own both types of amps and listen to both types constantly. I have several amplifiers along with speakers In my listening room. When I first began in this hobby, I wished one day I would own a really nice sounding audiophile system. Well, 35 yrs... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I’ve been in the hobby a long time and there are many reasons why people continue upgrading and seem to never be content with where they are at. Everyone is different. Some people believe that the newer components will give them a better sound. So... | |
