| Any (new) Tube Testers that can be recommended? Thanks @oddiofyl I was unaware of the Maxi Match looks like a good value! | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? China can build state of the art stereo equipment and they can also build good inexpensive equipment. One day made in China may have the same cachet as made in Japan. And guys please already can the Covid talk and the politics we've all had en... | |
| Riddle me this.... Speakers that are wired out of phase can sound like there's no soundstage sounds are coming from everywhere and nowhere. Reversing polarity has done nothing to the sound in my limited experience. | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? Hey Dan when you get the cartridge give it a listen then come back and tell us. 😉 | |
| Am I missing anything? Make sure to post lots of pictures and since you're selling speakers grills off pics showing the drivers. | |
| Interconnect Either of those will work just fine I've not heard the Wireworld but they have a great rep and Kimber is to me reliably neutral. | |
| Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz I will just say one thing when it comes to designing and building speakers, or any component, the most expensive part is not always the best part. A good builder will keep costs in mind but sound in mind first and sometimes a cheaper part will sou... | |
| Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz oh nice @decooney I am sure his Dac sounds fantastic that room sure did. And thanks @charles1dad I appreciate that and it did sound very good. His Rivals sounded better but that's to be expected of course. | |
| Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz Hey decooney both times it was Border Patrol gear Dac and tube amplification and a CEC belt drive CD transport. Amps were 300B based. | |
| Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz Awesome I've heard the Razz, and other Volti models at CAF in the past and really liked them. And that self veneer option is a great idea. | |
| Totem Mani-2 vs Devialet Phantoms Gold The Devialet is basically a lifestyle speaker the Mani-2 should handily best it in the bass and elsewhere. But as Jaytor mentions above it needs a powerful amp with a stiff power supply. | |
| Simple question, probably stupid +1 @larryi Just inset your tubes press play and enjoy the sound steadily improving. | |
| Thumbs Up on LFD! Congrats I've been reading about LFD since the Sam Tellig Stereophile days but have never heard one. Good to hear it sounds as good as advertised. | |
| Replacement Tubes TC tubes seems to have a bunch........ https://www.tctubes.com/6550-KT88-KT90-KT120-tubes.aspx | |
| Happen to you? Gear chasing because the fundamentals were wrong. Starting out I fell for reviews and the mystery of tubes without knowing anything about speaker matching and tube rolling. I look back at certain pieces of gear and wonder if I knew then what I know now would I have liked them more. Also I wildly ... |
