| Warm Sounding Speakers Warm speakers include Silverline Sonata and Bolero, Dali Grand, Vienna Accoustics and while they are expensive - Soundlab speakers. | |
| the natural sound of a cymbal I agree with Rodman999 assuming one has a great system and ears and even cares. Humidity does in fact change sound as an FYI. | |
| the natural sound of a cymbal I can hear the effects of humidity on the sound of a symbol with my eyes closed and a glass of red wine. | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 I owned your speakers for a couple of years as well as the Bolero's. I love Silverline speakers. | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 I also purchased my tubes from Andy including the same od3 and 6080 tubes you have coming.The first thing you must do is get a power cable from Paul. It will be the biggest improvement you will hear without a doubt. I use nothing but Paul wire. | |
| BPT 3.5, Audience aR12, or Equitech 1.5Q? Lacee, I agree with you. I also have direct 20 amp lines and upgraded receptacles. I only differ from you in that I prefer my amp plugged right into the wall. My Aesthetix Atlas amp prefers this as the reviews have stated. Other powerful amps I ha... | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 I like RCA tubes from the 40's. The other 6sn7's I like are the black base Marconi's. The Dude is really amazing sounding and takes about 200-300 hours to fully open up and settle into the sweet music it is capable of. Congrats on your Dude purchase! | |
| Sony XA-5400es player...Giant Killer or just Ok? I suggest "do not go to computer audio yet" and get a CD player :-)Computer Audio does not sound as good as a great CD player based on my recent experience - at least not yet. Also, it has so many twists, turns, changes, updates etc.. that I would... | |
| Sony XA-5400es player...Giant Killer or just Ok? Get a Sony 595 as mentioned above with the TRL mods. They do come up used. I have a Sony 900s with the TRL mods and it runs all over the 5400 IMHO.. The Oppo 95 is also a better choice. I had the 5400 and it is OK, not great. | |
| Best Live Album Ever... Van is The Man! Love his live stuff! | |
| BPT 3.5, Audience aR12, or Equitech 1.5Q? I just purchased a BPT 3.5 Signature and I agree with all the positive posts. Improved bass, larger stage, more dynamic and the music flows with a natural ease that is very engaging. | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? I do believe that AudiogoN is not what is was. The change in the site is one factor as well as the economy. No doubt in my mind that this site is NOT what is once was. It has hurt used sellers as well as builders. The sense of community and belong... | |
| To Power Down, or Not to Power Down Leave them on based on your post. You will wear out the tubes faster by powering them on and off throughout the day. | |
| Can 10W 300B tube amp drive Martin Logan Ascent i? No it won't is the short and true answer. | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Yes, placement first. Correct amp to speaker matching is also a first step. After this, all systems should use the treatments outlined in my email. All systems will be improved greatly! |
