| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? Let's keep the faith. There still is a code of civility and respect. All is not that bad. | |
| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? It is much less fighting on Audiogon than it used to be but also much less of other things. And one hundred times fewer active participants. There is $250k digital server ? This is a disaster. | |
| Do vacuum tube test values reflect sound quality? Japanese don't deceive ? I understand, those Telefunken tubes can last up to 100000 hours, at least 50000 hours. | |
| Speakers sound too bright. Besides brightness/harshness, what else do they clearly do wrong ? New not burnt-in equipment and cables can do many funny things at the same time. I can't know if this is the case. Find a few very high quality recordings and see what they do with... | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? Money means s*** to me, my gear is not for sale, offered price is irrelevant. | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? Yeah, assuming that the cartridge is reasonably good, as counter-intuitive as it is, cartridge is the least important element in turntable set up. I have the impression that many people get it wrong and prematurely upgrade cartridges. Similar thin... | |
| Speaking of phono, line preamp and driver tubes, how close a match do we want ? Ralph, Is the balance between internal sections of the tube more important than balance between two tubes ? I am not sure about VAC design but don't think Avatar's integrated circuit is balanced. Don't know about feedback. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? You could try Elend -The Umbersun- CD. Bloody hell. Neoclassical. I don't quite remember if that recording is good but the music is..unusual. I haven't listened to it for some years. Just don't call me names, it's not everyone's taste. Also, sym... | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? How much does Audiogon charge these days ? It's been a while since I post anything for sale here. In any case, I think it's a good idea to try and sell them here. | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as low ball offer. The stuff you are selling is not worth anything until it's sold. But there are good and bad manners. | |
| What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why? mylogic, I am talking about Walker Audio high end turntables. | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? Yes, it's a buyer's market, but buyers are still not buying waiting for the price to come down. Sellers stop selling as well at some point because it makes little sense, and eventually at some sudden moment economy as we know it no longer exists. ... | |
| What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why? If I wanted to spend $5k on a new turntable, just the table without tonearm and cartridge, I would be in trouble, I guess, because I wouldn't really know what to get. It would be very easy for me to choose if I could compare them all, not always n... | |
| 1 meter speaker cables Ralph of Atmasphere would say that for tube amps difference between 1 meter and 2.5 meters speaker cables may very well be audible and could in fact be significant He just said it in another thread.. | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? Right. Besides, buyers pay in real dollars not % of something, so may just look only at the asking price. Say, I have $5k for speakers plus maybe $500 more to ship them or to have them delivered, and that's it. I would not care much about suggeste... |
