| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers twoleftears, it’s good to see that linear tube audio is in Takoma Park. It would be worthwhile to visit them in person. | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers atmasphere, certainly would like to own an Atmasphere valve amp. Understanding the options better would help in deciding which one. | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers So for an OTL amp, you’re in need of a 16-ohm pair of speakers which I would think is rather limiting. As I’ve mentioned above, there are amplifiers that offer sound characteristics equal to the best of both tube and solid state. I can’t understan... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers I had a conversation with a friend of mine who teaches piano. She has a refurbished Steinway grand in her living room and was thinking about getting rid of it and buying another. Different piano manufacturers came up, Weber, Bechstein, Bosendorfe... | |
| Speaker repair technical question I over powered a pair of Monitor Audio GR 10’s and blew the woofer and gold dome tweeter in one of the speakers. I ordered both from Canada, installed them and they were the same as new. So I’m not so sure why it is you’re having a problem but I w... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers Hate to be crotchety here but artistic expression in Industrial Design is secondary to making money. A lot of research and design by Volkswagen, Apple, etc… is to determine an aesthetic that will drive consumerism. If a manufacturer misses the mar... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers Anyone ever hear an ASR Emitter II Exclusive? When I inherited a sum of money from my beloved Auntie, I decided to buy a stereo that would punch above it’s weight class. At first, I considered buying a flagship McIntosh tube preamp with two flagsh... | |

| What is your favorite album cover? The flip side of The Faces 'A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse' and the front side isn't bad either. | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? I'd recommend seeing Eighth Blackbird. | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? There's also a piece where Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata was sent in the form of sound waves to the moon, it reflected off the moon and then was recorded and played back once it arrived here back on Earth.I'd recommend hearing the Charles Dodge pie... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? WDR 3 radio in Köln would play works created by various tape loops, that were super imposed and interwoven with original compositions. I loved these pieces and am unsure whether or not they were all constructed by the same person/s. It's unlikely ... | |
| What is your favorite album cover? I know it's schmaltzy but 'Woodstock=Music From the Original Soundtrack and More'. I was a kid but loved the neighborhood hippies and that album photo identifies that period of my life. Too bad that era's culture changed so radically during the 19... | |
| Switching to battery power pauly, thanks for the update. I would most likely draw more power than you, having my ESL's plugged in. I'm guessing that the additional battery would be enough. This battery option seems simpler and it makes much more sense than a traditional pow... |
