| STAX Lambda Pro or Signature Earspeakers I have owned both for many years and drive them with the SRM T1S dedicated tube amp. Both sound fantastic and while it is not a night and day difference, the Signatures are clearly superior sounding with a noticeably more refined sound, more speed... | |
| Amplifier for Quads Agree completely with Charles1dad. In fact, I have been told by more than one Quad 57 owner (I never owned them) that the Quads actually seem to be able to play louder with smaller amps like the Bedini, but particularly with quality tube amps, ins... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Why is it so darn difficult for some people to accept the simple fact that some listeners have better hearing ability than others; wether because of physiological differences, experience, or training? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw, thanks for your comments. Likewise, my comments are not intended to be a criticism of anyone's preferences or tastes in either music or sound; which, at the end of the day, need to be respected. IMO, commentary and discussion, even (especial... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup, thanks for sharing the data. The question then becomes: how do the different flow rates affect the sound when PSI remains the same? Did you notice differences in the sound with different pumps with the regulator allowing the same PSI? Of ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup, from BT:****The heavy version has a step at the back to a larger diameter, the light version is tapered with no step. The photo on the web page for the magnesium wand shows the version with the step. Thank you very much. brucet**** | |
| Choosing a Solid State Class A/B integrated amp ****Tube amps can be fast? That's a new one for me. I clearly have a lot to learn. Can someone please elaborate on the op's statement?****Of course they can be; it's surprising to me that anyone would think that tube amps, as a group, can not be. ... | |

| custom tube amp builder who has excellent skills I understand the appeal of having a custom, possibly one-of-a-kind piece of gear, from the standpoint of exclusivity. But, from the stand point of performance, what in your opinion would the advantages of commissioning a custom piece? I am not cri... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Further comments from BT:(-why did you prefer the Acutex on the 2 vs. the 2.5? Does it have to do with the different resonance frequency points of each version?-why would the aluminum or carbon fiber wands be preferable? I am currently using the m... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw, I must say that I a surprised a your strong reaction to the sound of the Fagen "Nightfly" LP. Yes, obviously a digital recording as I poined out from the beginning, but a good one with fine detail, separation and a surprising lack of digital... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, thank you for your dedication and diligence in loaning BT the Acutex and soliciting his comments. I agree, getting more folks back into vinyl is a great thing; I will contact Bruce and thank him. I found his comments about his preference fo... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... ****....for having the cojones....****Unlike those who appear to be scurrying and hiding, now that the person who they felt the need to inpugn and question re his professionalism has defended himself. | |
| Why do audiophiles shun feedback in amplifiers? Not exactly; but more the latter than the former. In the broad sense, what I meant is that I believe that if audiophiles would take it upon themselves to learn more about music at a level of understanding approaching the level of understanding tha... | |
| Why do audiophiles shun feedback in amplifiers? ****But we audiophiles (and closet musician on the side such as myself) have our own set of terminology that will befuddle most musicians. We use many different terms to describe the similar, if not the same, thing (eg, instrument tone, tonality, ... |
