| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @hilde45 no problem...I was just babbling on about whatever was popping into my head. Your thread is a topic I've been thinking more about recently though. I always just assumed one needed speakers with just a high sensitivity like 98db plus to be... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? I forgot to add. To answer your original question I don't have any experience with low powered kits. But I'm interested in them. The one 8watt unit I heard was definitely good enough on speakers over 92db..4 & 8 ohm | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? I've had really good experience & sound with Mellow Tone Kits. Easy builds & their build instructions are posted on YouTube videos. They also give you all the specs & measurements for their equipment. Now I've only built 2 of their pre... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. If you have the time & never done it before.. position your bookshelves so they criss cross past your outside shoulders. L speaker across rt outside shoulder, etc. | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @hilde45 yeah, for me I wouldn't characterize his speakers as "cheap" in price or budget. He did just have a cyber sale on US Audiomart...the Carbon 7 SE MKii for $2200. Which I watched a stellar review of them on the YouTube. Personally I don't c... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out I was unaware of Fritz speakers until pretty recently..maybe 3 or 4 months ago. There was not a ton of info or user reviews on the Internet but what I did come across was all positive. This forum had a lot of good words to say about them. It is t... | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? Not too long ago in my living room I had a pair of Polk R700's for streaming & stereo TV. I have a decent null at 50hz & a huge boost/peek at 42. Initially I was using an Arcam SA30 with its Dirac & SVS subs & their PEQ App. The A... | |
| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. I can't speak for cables or interconnects but I had a noise issue with a tube preamp that regular Tin foil cured. I had hooked up an older tube preamp in my living room about a year ago. Right next to the TV..a couple feet away from a modem &... | |
| D amps I've tried a few of the Class D modules. The earlier Ucd, Hypex Ncore, the older Purifi 1ET400 pretty recently. The only audio brand/designer type I've tried was an Elac Alchemy DPA-2 a few years ago. Actually the Elac was the first "real" class D... | |
| Help, my system seem to have slowly gotten " bright" My 1st thoughts were it has something to do with the speakers. Did you move or adjust your speakers recently? Move any of the surrounding furniture? I recently had issues with fatigue after messing with my speaker placement. That was an eye openin... | |
| why expensive streamers I don't know why one streamer subjectively sounds better than another. From the reading & internet research I've done they should all transport the signal the same way. Bits are bits as "they" say. From personal experience, & that doesn't ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers It's a great feeling when you buy a new piece of equipment and you actually like it... especially speakers. No idea why the phase difference with the test CD. Sounds like the Revel's are doing it right though. Congratulations on the new speakers. ... | |
| Vacuum Tube preamp with my KRELL KAV 250a, a no no......WHY? I think the thing to consider is the DC offset or surge from the preamp. Turning the tube preamp on first & waiting a couple minutes to stabilize usually does the trick. Turning the preamp off last during shutdown of the system is also common ... | |
| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer If you go to Audiophile NBR Music channel he lists some contact info if any questions or requests. I think he has like 3 different music playing channels. Then there are channels like Best Acoustic Voices, SOUND HD, Lossless Quality Audio, & m... | |
| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer I am familiar with these YouTube videos. I actually play them a lot during the day as background music & have saved a few to my favorites. I run my TV thru a Dac into a 2.1ch system in my living room. When my dac gets the signal from YouTube t... |
