| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Thanks Onemug, The lack of any response in support of the notion that tubes need to rest hasnt been lost on me. There are a lot of smart people on Audiogon. I could have taken it wrong, but in the context of our converstation, I came away with th... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Just to be clear. I received no formal, written restrictions from Sophia. It was during a casual conversation with Sue that I received the five hour advise. Most of my friends, who have tube amplifiers, also try to minimize very extended sessions.... | |

| high power tube amps vs ss Csontos, I think that I might understand where some of the tube skepticism among the solid state crowd comes from. Quite often, tubes are used in applications that are less than ideal. I hear them all the time. Thats not to say that a mistake was... | |
| Boulder has full page ad in Du-pont registry "Outside of the high-end world I don't believe anyone knows who they areThat sounds more like a reason to place the ad, rather than not."Most car guys could care less about high-end audio.I dont understand why there would be more indifference a... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss "Creating is not the same as recreating.Whoa! Thats pretty deep... and I always thought solid state guys were a kinda shallow :-) | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Winggo, much more important than your speakerss sensitivity is its impedance. If you have low efficiency speakers with a benign impedance, you can solve any power issue by adding more tube power. If your speakers have either too low or too demand... | |
