| If you wanted to impress someone, which track? to impress non-audiophiles, start with what they're familiar with. 3 things in particular:Rolling Stones: Cant You Hear Me Knocking off their reissue CD. incredible sonics, same reason as below.Guns & Roses: Patience (was miked as a live sessi... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? i will say the Blues Jr can spank out a range of tones...heck, i overdrove the preamp volume (10+) and when the pickups are 8+, oh man i can get the crunch that you hear in mick ronson (david bowie) and uncle pete (townshend). using dual P-90s by ... | |
| What is the Audiogon of music instruments? thegearpage.net for guitars / basses / amps | |
| pre amp tubes and gain interesting. i just had a tube go bad (matched pair, but rarely do things go down in synch), which resulted in one channel having microphonics & lower gain than the other.id suspect my experiences are not unique. if you install a matched pair,... | |
| Comparison of Audio Horizons Preamplifiers the 2.2 is a bit sweeter thanks to some careful parts selection (hi fi fuse & furutech gold IEC), but the 2.1 is a bit more dynamic (thanks to 2 trannys).i'd think upgrading tubes (1 & 3) or coupling caps would be the best thing you could do. | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? i'm in the same symptomatic boat as chazro, and at 36yrs old its a concern. when i saw the ear Dr, he said, its life, its with you, but try not to make it worse.ie: i no longer use power tools / lawn equipment without hearing protection. its not t... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier i have a 2.1 and a 2.2 in at present; the photo sherod posted is of the 2.1, the 2.2 uses a single larger R-core tranny. otherwise, very similar inside.areas of difference favor the 2.2, which uses hifi tuning fuses & a furutech IEC, along w/ ... | |
| lessloss blackbody can someone explain in summary form WHY they work? i can understand why everything, except bybee devices, work. (incidentally, i find the explanation for why bybee's work to be comical. nevertheless, i'm using 6 in my system, as they do).i do not ... | |
| 802d for a 10x13 room, 8ft ceiling - am I nuts? if you cannot add bass traps, add a Rives PARCif you are not willing to buy a PARC, dont bother w/ the 802.my WP6s overloaded my room (15*11*8) until i trapped it. now, it sounds magnificent. specs +/- 5db to 35hz. do the work, and they will work.... | |
| Any Tom Waits Fans? uh, yup. best i've heard are Mule, Swordfishtrombones, Blood Money, with a nod to Foreign Affairs. but my word, what a collection of songs. i'd stack his songwriting up against anyone since Cole Porter. | |
| New V-CAP CuTF capacitor thought they were only up to .3uf | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help why not just have a tech add a voltage divider to the +/- pins of the XLR outputs...play w/ values, but you'll shunt some of the output to ground, less output to the amp = more usable range of vol control | |
| Aftermarket power cable for power conditioner? at a buddy's system, we replaced a $1k cord into the Acoustic Revive RTP w/ a Stage 3 power cord (think $2k or $3k). improvement was clearly obvious, and affected every component downstream. YMMV | |
| Wadia ITransport the dac in the wadia is to blame. use a better dac. | |
| Best 3 tube preamps under $18000? i will simply echo earlier comments on einstein tube preamp. it does wonderful things with dynamics + harmonics, the sort seldom found in either tube or SS topology, and should be included in any subjective discussion of 'best'. |
