| Imaging i note that some one has just listed a pair of paragon jubilee/jems for 2300. i have owned these speakers for 5 years now and i can't speak too highly of them. see my prior posts on this board and on audio asylum for my comments. i can't figure ou... | |
| Looking for warmth,openess, detail if you're going to replace your speakers, why not wait - cables are synergistic with amps and speakers? | |
| Tubes for EAR 834L and 834P? i'm running yugo 12ax7 (nickel plate) and yugo 12au7s. try them first, their cheap and have very clean highs. | |
| What's the "best" tubes for a cal alpha 24/96dac? i use new production yogo's. el12ax7s, nickle plates. very very clean highs. in another application they were a bit shy in the lower mid range but i can't hear this effect on my alpha. i've never tried the NOS tubes recommended by upscale audio. t... | |
| Why do I have to turn the volume level so high? think of 0 gain as a point where your preamp is passing the source signal onto the amp unattenuated. - gain is when you are reducing the gain of the source and + gain is when your preamp is amplifying the source signal. each source signal is diffe... | |
| My pre-amp overloads my amp sean may well be right. i don't know if your amp will pass dc. some ss units do. if your unit does, or if you put in another amp that does, you could pass dc thru to the speakers and fry them! i'm not familar with your pre-amp but if its tubed it ... | |
| CAL Delta Vs Theta Pearl Vs Wadia WT-2000 i have a cal alpha - it may be dated but its still excellent and cheap now on the used market. best of all you can change its tone by changing tubes. your present system sounds like it could be on the bright side - if that is a problem for you the... | |
| Can anyone tell me what happened? bryhifi, i have the jubilee/jems. i can't blame you for wanting them - but you can't have mine. i put my quad 63's in the attic. to me they like the contour 3.3 w/better bass and imaging capability. the impedence curve makes them ideal for tubes u... | |
| Can anyone tell me what happened? your not going to find out much on the internet other than a few owners comments. the speaker that first came to my attention was the jubilee. this is a two way monitor type with dynaudio speakers. lead lined cabinet. sealed cross over. bass shy b... | |
| Want to update 20 year old LP12/Grace-what arm? re the grace arm - it was a quality arm at the time and is probably as good today (unless its worn out or damaged). what is improtant is matching the mass of the arm to the compliance of the cartridge, i.e. high compliance cartridge = low mass arm... | |
| What time do you wear? the watch i enjoy wearing most is a large, clunky, sinn divers model. i can read the dial w/out glasses. very pratical - no WAF just like my stereo system - its sort of large and clunky too, but great sounds. | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks i'm way out west. i've thought about rowland, and most recently ayre, but i really am seduced by tubes so i have not invested the effort, let alone the bucks. i'm in the boonies and its very hard to audition new stuff anymore at home - i've come t... | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks dragont, my speakers came with spikes between the two speakers. i pulled these and am using blu tack - you can get this cheaply at the hardware store. works for me. i assume you run these without the grills - huge difference if you don't. re sales... | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks now i see where you're coming from. the jubilee tweater isn't the best. dynaudio has a better one that they use in their coincidence model - i hear the model 5 is excellent. the impedence curve suggests your choice of amp. also the verity parsifal... | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks why do you want to change out these speakers. if you want a different flavor sound play with your amps some more, or speaker cable. if you find the sound of the 350's somewhat dry as stereophile's review suggests could happen, you could use a diff... |
