| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Charles1dad - What's ironic is that if I listed every aspect of my system and listening room and somehow quantified my listening preferences in an objective way we'd be no closer to being able to discuss it because unless you personally experience... | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Charles1dad - I'll try to clarify my question. I keep coming back to this forum because it's obvious that, in general, the knowledge and experience here is beyond other audio forums. Sometimes I tire of responses to questions always being conditio... | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Sometimes I wonder if people on this forum have too much information to filter it down to a straight answer. While everything that has been said is true, it really says little to nothing.I have limited experience with audio equipment, but I can ea... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D I submit that there isn't any rules for human hearing. It's clear that very few audiophiles can agree on a regular basis when it comes to which piece of gear sounds the best, or even better. It has been shown that people can even develop strong pr... | |
| Help: WPC for my speakers I'll try to address the last part of your question."Will I have to be very careful about over powering these speaker or should I be ok with this power."A lot of people have a misunderstanding that amplifiers send power to the speakers when, in fac... | |
| Focal Diablo / Utopia III breakin really long? Tom6897 - After a bit more thought, I retract my snarky remark.I'm guessing that the reason for connecting one speaker out of phase and facing them towards each other is to maximize on sound cancelation (e.g. Bose and Borla Exhaust). Where my brai... | |
| What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles? I guess I should rephrase a bit. I am not looking for what brands the masses associate with high end (i.e.Bose), but what audiophile respected brands are likely the most well known. For example, MBL is obviously a very high end brand, but very few... | |
| Focal Diablo / Utopia III breakin really long? Why would it matter if the speakers are in our out of phase? Why would the direction they are facing matter? I would assume the blanket is just to muffle the sound which makes sense to avoid driving people crazy, but the other advice seems to be v... | |
| Anti-cable purchase Don't waste money on fancy balanced audio cables. Just go with something like Monoprice as they are a quality product and will perform equally with any botique cable. Do some research about the actual science behind balanced audio.For what it's wo... | |
| How much heat from a tube amplifier? I am looking at the yaqin MC_30L. | |
| How much heat from a tube amplifier? Donor - I am happy with my solid state receiver and plan to still us it as the primary unit. The purpose of the tube inter grated amplifier is simply to be a secondary source of fun to hook up when I am in a listening mood and have the time to pla... | |
| How much heat from a tube amplifier? Thanks. Was you experience with mostly closed cabinets?Mine is at least 50 open in the back and 95% open in the front assuming the door is removed which takes about the same effort as removing a grill cover. I would have reasonable clearance on th... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Thanks for the information.I am leaning towards either a used Jolida 707A available at a local shop or a new Yaqin MC-30L that is advertised on audiogon. The local shop had the Yaqin in the store the other day and it sounded excellent and was sign... | |
| MUSICAL FIDELITY - M1 PWR vs Home Theater Receiver The cabinet was a long searched for purchase so given my 1300 sq-ft house with two kids under 2-1/2 there are just limitations. I would have to justify $800 that I don't have in the budget and then force the Krell into my system. I am making the a... | |
| Saint-Saens: Symphony No. 3 "Organ" surround? After much more listening to this SACD it is one of my absolute favorites. Even my two (this week) year old son enjoys the last movement and will say in his biggest voice, "BIG organ." He has requested it numerous times.My wife got me a tickets wi... |
