| Quad or Magnepan? From my experience selling maggies years ago and listening to a few Quads at Overture Audio in Delaware about two years ago, the 2905's specifically, I would go for the Maggies by far regardless of all other concerns if you have a good amp and roo... | |
| Aerial 7B's vs Totem Forest ? Hello,I haven't heard the Aerial's but I have heard the Totem Forests a few times at CSA Audio in Upper Montclair, NJ in the last few years. They have deep, strong bass response and impact in part to their 8" woofers and cabinet loading, etc. They... | |

| Which 6sn7 tubes for Rogue Magnum 99 I agree .. .call Mark at Rogue first. Then, perhaps, call Dennis Had at Cary Audio in NC. He knows a ton about that tube and uses it so often in his gear. He is a "23mA kind of guy" in his own words in that he likes that as the bias current value ... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Whoever is in charge of design for Focal / JM Lab. They design and produce absolutely great speakers. The same goes for Sonus Faber and Usher. Also, Kevin Voecks at Revel as of now. While I don't care for the sound of his products, some of them ar... | |
| Audio Research Ref5 KT88 Hello,I do not know off hand if all of those components use tubes in their power supplies, but if they do, it is the 6550, and for a reason. While the KT88 is extremely similar in specifications and design (a beam power tetrode), the designer chos... | |
| ParaSound Halo A21 vs Nad M25 Hello,I have heard the Parasound Halo A21 on numerous speakers at numerous dealers and it is an amazing amplifier, let alone for the cost even at full retail of about $2,300. it does offer a true class A up to about 7.5wpc (straight out Richard Sc... | |
| Will upgrading my amp for el34s to kt90s help? It should. EL34's are not known for their strong, very present bass or low end grunt at all. They are a midrange and treble tube mostly, that is why so many guitar players use them. A bass player, if using a tubed amp, would use KT88's or 6550's i... | |
| B&K Reference amps ... Opinions please Please keep in mind that B&K makes electronic test equipment, so audio components is not their only arena. However, I would rather own their test equipment than any of their SS power amplifiers due to others out there that simply sound better ... | |
| Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise I have never owned them, but have sold them here in PA. Maggies need, or at least do so much better, with much high quality power on tap. | |
| Which 6922? Trelja,It sounds like you have met my brother. He too is a cold, heartless (sounding) thing. HAHA | |
| Amplifier for Usher Be-10 Hello,If your interest is the ARC Ref. 110 or Ref. 210, either would be fabulous. The 210's though are mono blocks and have twice the power of the 110's, so that problem or concern is already taken care of. I would only go with two Ref. 110's thou... | |
| what do you use to remove your tubes? Hi,Being that they only stick out about 3/4 of an inch as you said, try what the other guys said. Do not use anything adhesive as the adhesive may leave a residue on the glass. Do not use a pliers or anything like that due to not being able to fee... | |
| Which 6922? Hello,I would call the Tube Depot or The Tube Store and ask them as they really know their tubes and their sound characteristics in and out. (www.tubestore.com or www.tubedepot.com) Personally, from experience and working at Cary Audio in 2004, I ... | |
| Usher 718 BE's vs Focal 1007 BE's Hello,Pitted one against the other I have not done (a direct, A-B comparison in the same room with the same system song by song). However, from what I have heard, systems and rooms varying greatly from dealership to dealership, the Focal's (brand ... |
