| Vacuum tubes: Radio tubes, TV tubes, Audio tubes I have never thought the extra $ brought by JAN (military) tubes was justified. A tubes ability to withstand shock and vibration has nothing to do with how this tube will sound. Further many military tubes are the same internally as their civilian... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates jtgofish,Ralph has always shown great restraint and goes the extra distance in giving technical explanations to back up just about everything he posts. I think you have the wrong person or you have some axe to grind which is not related to Ralph's... | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... I dont want to put a nickel in any of the Klipsch people on this forum, but a dealer friend told me that Klipsch is now being made in China. Perhaps all but the Heritage? Anybody know for certain? | |
| Need Salk/Legacy speaker help/opinions Having only heard each type at shows I am perhaps not the best to give my opinion. But, based on my experience the Salks win by a wide margin. | |
| Speaker Project Sorry but I have read a number of articles regarding modifications that bring older vintage gear to the level of current production and rarely take them seriously. I could be wrong but having a fairly intimate knowledge of these speakers I am gues... | |
| Need help choosing replacement tubes for my 211 SET I think that you first try to determine if all the tubes are getting tired or if just certain pairs or a single pair. My experience is the greatest benefit comes from replacing the smaller driver tubes in the amp. Determine which tubes most direct... | |
| Mastersound Tube amp Do not wiggle! You must turn the tube counter and then lift the tube out. Roberjerman once again demonstrates the pitfalls of not knowing what he doesnt know. It is completely irresponsible, but all too common on any audio forum. I owned an older ... | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... Never have been a fan of Klipsch speakers and the Forte is no different. You can improve this speaker, but I dont think you can do anything to make it even remotely competitive with many speakers in this price range in the areas of reproduction wh... | |
| Tube amp forethought I would also suggest Atma-sphere amps. | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? I think it would be difficult to know how your systems is staging without extremely intimate knowledge of the recording. Significant details are needed to know if you are getting an accurate representation. I suppose if you have heard good staging... | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... It could be, assuming autspecs competence and knowing Ralphs, that these 2 speak different technical dialects. I will say that sometimes Ralph wants to answer a question with a how and why response. Explaining and justifying his design choices to ... | |
| Wilson v Sonus Faber The older Wilson tweeter was terrible, same was true of Thiels. The only time I have heard the Wilsons sound good was on tubes, but they couldnt deliver at higher volumes so George is correct in this regard. My thoughts are that driven by Levinson... | |
| First Watt J2 Second the Atma-sphere suggestion. You can choose between 30 or 60 w/channel. With the right load nothing I have ever heard comes close. | |
| A question for fans of Threshold amplifiers Well I dont read reviews so checking on your in-house amps is a no-go. I believe it was one of the later e models but I will call him to check.Your post may not invite an argument, but you used the words "some of the most highly regarded/high pric... | |
| Am I asking for too much?? Well according the JA the 1st, all of the reviewers at Stereophile pay dealer cost for their equipment. If this is true then Mike Fremer has a system that set him back about $ 500K. Further, he denied the existence of long term loaners which has b... |
