| AH Njoe Tjoeb 4000 or Consonance cd120 ?? I have the ANT with all upgrades. Problems are the display which is too dim. The looks are not so high end. I thought the add ins are designed in Holland and don't know where the parts are sourced.But, if sound matters to you more, at a $1000 I hi... | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night "Copper corrodes rather quickly and you can imagine what it's like after 30+ years."Actually, when copper "corrodes" it produces a conductive oxidate on the outside that should not cause problems by itself. Also the joints and connections should b... | |
| Anyone using a Sumiko Blackbird w/ Solid State? Only with all tube system: MMF-7tt, AR PH3 phono pre, AR SP16L preamp, VAC PA100/100 amp, JM Reynaud Offrande speakers. Very happy although I am getting the upgrade bug re: TT. If I do upgrade I will keep the Blackbird on new rig. | |
| which way to start tube-rolling ? please I went from the stock tubes in my Ah! (w/upsampler) to the Amperex. The improvement was not subtle but obvious. However, as the Amperex in the Ah! is already an 'upgrade" I would suggest rolling some in your preamp before going back to the Ah! | |
| Which cartridge for MMF-7 I use Sumiko Blackbird in my MMF 7 and the improvement over the Eroica is mindblowing. Highly recommended. | |
| New speaker "break-in" music? XXX (Triple X)soundtrack. Whenever I get a new set of speakers I run the first disk of the XXX (Triple X) movie soundtrack -- Vin Diesle -- on repeat for as long and loud as I can. Alot of electronic insruments, very deep bass and intense drumming... | |
| Tubes for VAC PA 100/100 Just wanted to add a comment here as I have now had enough time to break-in all the new tubes.After about 40=50 hours on the RCA clear tops, along with additional time on the new EH KT88 I have to say that the amp is just positively singing now. S... | |
| Active studio monitors. Nobody has them. Why? Absolute Sound reviewed a pair of the more expensive (with ribbon tweeter if I remember correctly) Genelec speakers some time ago and thought they were wonderful. They too asked why such speakers are not used more often by audiophiles. | |
| Audiophile with a Golf bag He was an audiophile but his system got no respect at all. RIP. | |
| Tubes for VAC PA 100/100 I just completely retubed mine in the past few weeks.I just got the EH K88s and I think they are smoother and more nuanced with bigger/better range top to bottom. Previously had Valve Art and the original stock (Golden Dragons relabled?). EH much ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Have not heard the other carts, but I have the Blackbird and am happy. | |
| Air with full Orchestra The Hollywood Bowl WOW Glad to hear about the Bowl's acoustics now. I was at the Bowl in mid-July for LA Phil's Mahler 2d. Sound was terrible. Very thin throuhout the show and changed many times as night fell and the tempurature changed. Soloists sounded cartoonish. Coi... | |
| What Causes Tube Noise at Start-up? 4003. Tested fine from Upscale. They work nicely once warm. | |
| what's your favorite album cover? Electric Ladyland and the original (uncensored) Blind Faith cover. |
