| Can I Trust The Music Room's Product Description? @mysteriousmrm "This time wasn’t as smooth, but they are working with me now to make things better." Would expect nothing less from Nick/TMR in any case. Having worked with Nick many times, I can guarantee you nothing misguided occurred her... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @hilde45 .."The key issue, it seems, is how loud people want to play them." --------------- Yep, desired volume levels, room size, and placement options matter in order to decide on the type of preferred amplification and whether these are the s... | |
| Will Vincent ST-70 Tube Amp @tooblue ."..but did not keep the amp long as it was not a good fit for my system." tooblue, if you can share more - was it lacking drive or dynamics in any way, when paired with less efficient speakers by chance? I ask because I have been ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @aniwolfe Sensitivity is low but it does not require a high current amp. This speaker will not go lower than 7 ohms. So lower powered tube amps work fine if not used in a large room, needing concert listening levels. The LFT’s are especially sens... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. A few years back while auditioning my current pair of Quicksilver Mono 120 amplifiers with KT150s installed, they were paired up with the smaller LFT-16a speakers. The room and speakers were set up nice and it was very enjoyable. At that moment I ... | |
| Siemens EL 34 @pehare have you tried GL KT77s in that amp by chance? I'm considering searching out a good very good designer/builder to commission and build a nice pair of monos for me in single-ended or parallel-single-ended (if I can find the right builder ... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @tonywinga ..I’m saying that generalizations about cables are inaccurate. Cables have progressed over the decades as much as any other stereo component, Agree, 100%. Yes they have. Along with other cable providers, i.e, i’ve been testing an... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @ieales ^^^ The above is utterly pointless. Any deltas are specific to that system and room and unlikely to translate to an entirely different system. There are plenty of expensive cables that are demonstrably designed to be ’tone controls’ and... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Find a reputable and experienced audio dealer with a great listening room. Bring a few friends, and a few others with ears to do a real listening session for two hours. Bring your highly praised and affordable Mogami interconnect cables people li... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @audphile1 I’ll add as I’d missed in my first post here a critical element - speaker positioning and distance to listening chair. This is something that I continue to be amazed with how a slight change in speaker placement can break it or make it... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @jasonbourne71... "In use the AQ Silver Extremes sound fine! I am not so neurotic to lose sleep worrying if some other brand of interconnects sounds better!" There you go, a nice cable that you like. That’s what matters most. Many have compa... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @tonywinga ... Interconnects: I am using all XLRs so I cannot speak to single ended designs. When I upgraded my cable from preamp to amps the bass changed completely. I thought it was great before. Suddenly, the clarity was like crystal. What I t... | |
| Can I Trust The Music Room's Product Description? @mysteriousmrm "Weeks have gone by with no resolution". Did you call TMR back for a follow-up? Note: they've done good by me and do have a reasonable return policy. I've bought and sold to them on more than a few occasions. Twice I've had to ... | |
| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? "@smodtactical Is quicksilver warm and rich or more ss neutral and fast ?" While Mike Sanders of Quicksilver already answered part of the question for you in Your Prior Post Here 5/22/23, I’ll add my .02 cents for what it’s worth about my QS... | |
| What's your DAC's sweet spot for sampling rates? A reply while testing a recently new Schiit Bifrost 2/64 DAC (NOS mode) instead of the former R2R Ladder TDA1541 16-bit NOS Tube DAC. Streaming 24-bit/48khz right now and sometimes it sounds more engaging and less fatiguing than 24-bit/192khz. DAC... |
