| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps That is true. Yeas ago I tried a Pass Aleph 3 and it sounded awesome. My speakers were a poor match Plus it ran hot as hell so at the time it wasn’t for me. It was purple colored it got so hot. | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Yes , and you will never be able to duplicate the sound of something like a 2a3 or 300b with silicon. | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Now good tube gear can have it all (almost) , wide flat frequency response that was not possible in the past. I've had all , SS. a mix of Tube and SS, and all tube. Itend to prefer what tubes can do in my system with my speakers. Like othe... | |
| DH Labs. They are 20% off through November. Great value. | |
| DH Labs. Just wanted to say I picked up a pair of Air Matrix Cryo RCA terminated cables and they are awesome. Really high quality for the money. DH Labs are my go to guys from now on when I need cable products. The value is high . They replaced some N... | |
| Advice on a tube tester I spent some money, but I quickly found what tubes were great, who to trust , who screwed me. The 800 will test my 300b ,205d , rectifiers, 12**7, EL84 , EL34 , 6l6, 6922. So for me it was money well spent | |
| Advice on a tube tester Smart move. That’s the benchmark in tube testers | |
| Advice on a tube tester I have a Hickok 800 , it’s perfect for screening tubes and preventing your amp from being a “tube tester”. It’s more than adequate and fairly accurate. If I were buying and selling tubes I would get a 539 or military type Hickok | |
| Advice on a tube tester My system is all tube as well. What prompted me to buy a tester was actually the fact that I sent a NOS rectifier to the guy who built my amp. I actually sent 2. Unfortunately one was shorted and failed during the amp's burn in. Fortunatel... | |
| Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless Not one of my components would pass the ASR litmus test, except my RME adi2 DAC. It tests well but isn't nearly as engaging and musical sounding as my LAB 12 DAC 1 reference. It's not even in my main system anymore. So much for numbers. I... | |
| Streamer Recommendation. Notice to Vault users. I backed up my Vault 2i onto a 2 TB drive, plugged it into my PC and dragged and dropped a bunch of CD rips onto my Aurenders 4TB drive. Works great, after scanning the drive the Aurender assembled the missing album art... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? Ronboco, I have been “auditioning” recliners for the past week and am about to pull the trigger on an awesome chair for the man cave . They ain’t cheap , but I spend so much time in that room the purchase is totally justified | |
| DH Labs Hi Juan They really are great cables, I couldn’t pass on them being almost the same price as the regular ones with November’s sale. I will order more cables once my preamp is built. Not quite sure on component placement, once I get that I... | |
| rca or usb digital How do you like the N20? I have the N200 and am blown away at how great digital can sound . I Should have put money in the digital front end a long time ago.... just as well because I was waiting for streamers to mature a little. | |
| Advice on a tube tester Just remember, most are pretty crappy. Nice ones cost $$$ but are worth it |
