| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature Life is long enough to spectacularly screw it up. | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature Well, maybe you need an inexpensive transistor preamplifier for that to complement you tube one. Just switch the cables, it's quick and easy. | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? The essence of music is conveyed via emotional component of it not via its mathematical constructs. But the mathematical constructs are necessary to make music happen at all. Most of the recordings that I listen to are quite bad. If I can somehow... | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature Tubes done right have a certain 'glory' in presentation, I don't think it can be replicated by transistors. It is felt in addition to heard. And speaking of tube power, with the right amp/speakers match, those 60 ultraliear watts that I get feel ... | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature Saving on groceries to buy more tubes is a great idea. What if the man already does it ? And what if his reasons have nothing to do with expenses ? Don’t know about other amps, in the case of my VAC it s advised to give it at least ten minutes to... | |
| USB Cable Not quite. USB cables do make some difference even with those piece of junk computers. I prefer Supra $55 cable to Wywires $300 cable and they are both much better in every respect than no name in the box cables. Try Supra first, they are sold on ... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Never audition a system that you cannot afford or for some other reasons cannot have. This is hazardous to your mental health. Don't rush it, take your time. Choose your speakers first. | |

| Tradeoffs of external phono stages? What tubes do you use ? With better tubes your old trusty preamp with phono stage might sound much better. Also, power cord and interconnects. I would not rush to replace what you have unless you exhausted its potential. You could in addition to ... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? If he really prefers his class D amps to tube amps then he fools himself. In any case, he is on this forum for business purposes, whatever he says - remember that. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? They will go the way of cd players, in ten years no one will need them. Ralph and others perhaps have some time to cash in. He does not prefer his class D to his and many others tube amps. He won't fool me. | |
| How do you add color? Best gear in the world along with the best room in the world are useless if the recording was not done right. Don't exaggerate the importance of listening room. The room must be alive, that's for sure, the rest is relatively minor. "It's the sour... | |
| Annoying trend? New vinyl equalization and compression Our response to it should be very simple. We will help them cut their costs much further by not buying this junk. | |
| How do you add color? There is another point. Microphones do not 'hear' everything and so part of the real sound being recorded will be missed. Let's call it negative coloration. You might try to at least partly restore those lost in recording elements, without adding ... | |
| How do you add color? It is. Last time I remember we argued about Sonny Rollins. I don't see Orpheus10 participate in Jazz thread. |
