| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A a few bass tracks that you might enjoy and help you figure something out. I just moved my Sumiko Talisman S Cartridge with it’d stiff Sapphire tube cantilever to my ’fixed’ long arm. I’m gonna listen again to ascertain if it has a speck tighter ... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode OP wrote @elliottbnewcombjr I remember a convesration we both particiapated in about someone's SLI80. I believe you made a reference to face slapping when I stated I preferred my V12 in triode. I have no recall, was I rude? Mean? I've regress... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode I prefer my Cayin A-88T's ultralinear 45 wpc to triode 22 wpc. My horn speakers are very very efficient, so I do not think it is related to the extra power, there seems to be a fuller more natural sound, similar to the change from 6550 tubes to KT... | |
| Are using hearing aids for stereo listening like trying to push a river through a straw? I hear better, and maintain directionality and imaging listening to music with my new hearing aids. My recent and initial experience (after having ears inspected/cleaned by doctors, then tested by two audiologists, take the charted results with y... | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? You may think this is another method, in any case, it's relative to the bass. ’Good Enough’, don’t try for Perfection, just adjust what you already like. Document what you have to start, and results of changes. Patience!!!! Start with test tone... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? My Cayin A-88T Integrated Tube Amp (Mine: Original MKI Version) 1. it has Remote Volume and Remote Mute (wish it had remote balance) 2. it uses 6sn7 and 6sl7’s instead of 12’s. 3. it uses KT88’s (mine, used, came with 6550’s, I changed/prefer t... | |
| Single Sub Position Finding/getting the best from one sub is admirable, however Bass, and don’t forget the overtones of any fundamental notes, 32, 64, 128, 256, .... are or quickly become DIRECTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thus, 2 subs, front firing, no ports, located adjac... | |
| Phono preamp or SUT for low output moving coil well, look what popped up https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/5-cartridges-cello-vdh-benz-zu-hana-what-stays-and-what-goes did you master mounting/aligning your cartridges yourself? do you still have 2 TT's? A SUT with two inputs, 1 out to ... | |
| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? the new mirror with LED light came, the light works well, no need to aim or hold another light source. it's 30x, slightly better than my 20x, the numbers don't make meaningful sense, btw, many years ago, I gave myself a great shop light with magn... | |
| Help me identify an amp connect some speakers, any load, when you power up tube amps | |
| System assessment... Oh yeah, congrats on your retirement. | |
| System assessment... Those Focals were efficient enough to use Tubes for both Pre and Amp which is what I think would give you a preferred sound. Never heard them, I wondered why you thought the Focals pair of 10" drivers too big for your room, had a quick learn. Per... | |
| Should I replace the crossover capacitors in my vintage AR 3a speakers? I always test new tubes when I receive them, verify matched sets, .... see where the signal strength is for new compared to my existing used tubes .... often, the newer parts are tighter tolerances than the older parts, i.e. +/- 1%; +/- 2%; +/- 5... | |
