| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) Ohm Walsh's for $4K will beat everything on your list! 3-D room-filling sound from any spot! A revolutionary design! I have a pair! | |
| Need definitions of: Dark; Warm; and Bright Nothing but poetic license! | |
| I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp? @audioman58: the venerable Quad 57 can still be considered a reference speaker! They can usually be found for around $2K. I have two pairs. | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? I forsee a career for mahgister selling herkimer diamond and tourmaline jewelry on Etsy! | |
| El34 = KT88 = KT120 Tube comparisons are only valid when the same amp is used with all the tubes in succession. | |
| Vintage vs New KLH Nine full-range electrostats driven by a pair of Futterman H3AA OTL amps is still a world-beater combination! I have this in use! | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? "The capacity of Humans for self-deception is apparently unlimited" - Mr.Spock the Vulcan. | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? I bet that Ouiji board can tell me how to do a ring job on an engine! | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Now where did I put that Ouiji board! | |
| EL84 Tubes for Glow Audio Amplifier Those new-production Mullards are from Russia! As are all the "Tungsols" and "Gold Lions" brands! Stick to JJ's from Slovakia - a USA-friendly country! | |
| EL84 Tubes for Glow Audio Amplifier @golfnutz: The OP wants EL84/6BQ5's - NOT EL34's! Big difference! I can recommend the JJ's made in Slovakia as reliable and excellent sounding new tubes! UK-made Mullards ended decades ago! | |
| Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5? I will say it again: the Marantz PM8006 is a well-engineered amp of sufficient power, capable of driving low impedances - and sounding excellent! Why not sell the Missions and get higher efficiency speakers that can handle the type of music you li... | |
| Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5? The same criticism applies to the Musical Fidelity amp. Wonder why no specification for power into 4 ohms is shown? Because the MF amp can't deliver enough current into a low impedance to increase its wattage/power! Bad engineering again! | |
| Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5? The fact that the Parasound can't deliver more watts/current into 4 ohms is an indication that it is current deficient! Again, a symptom of poor engineering design! How much is this piece of junk selling for? $1000+? | |
| Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5? That Parasound is lacking enough heat sinks to avoid over-heating its output stage transistors by driving loads below 8 ohms! This is poor engineering! The Marantz is superior here even though it has less watts at 8 ohms. The difference between 7... |
