| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? Seems to be a lot of whining from the too-busy-SS bunch. Oh well, I guess tubes might be worth missing for the likes of them. | |
| recommendations for tube dampers??? There was a little bit of chatter about a month ago on this forum. This is what I use to good and cheap effect.http://herbiesaudiolab.home.att.net | |
| Old Dyna amp -- Worth Repairing?? Most repair shops, with good reason, charge an estimate refusal fee. I think that's fair. If you like art, then you should get the Dynaco repaired and enjoy. Just my 2 cents, as they say. | |
| Anyone W/ Sound Lab A3/M2 in Florida? I've already post in the Planar Asylum. In Georgia. | |
| What happened to list prices? (on a slow AOL day, the NewToday is a 3-5 MINUTE download)Yikes, if I have to wait longer than 3 seconds with my Prodigy DSL, something is terribly wrong. If I had to wait 3-5 minutes I probably wouldn't go there. Signed,Spoiled | |
| How do Newforms sound? "The 30" ribbon was a bit phasey, and the frequency balance changed when you stood up. This is a speaker you have to sit in front of to here a correct sound. No big deal for some, a big deal for others. I imagine the 45" ribbon is better about thi... | |
| Pre-amp Suggestions for Tubes & Electrostats Since you expressed an interest in analog, may I recommend mine (everybody recommends theirs!)? An Atma-Sphere MP-3 with a great phono stage. It's kinda' homely but I got a custom gold finish which does dress it up a bit. It's also fully balanced ... | |
| The difference between Balanced Mic Cables and Aud Don't know of any. Maybe somebody else does. | |
| 40 feet balanced between preamp and Levinson.... Go to the local electronic parts house and have them make up a pair. Bet it's a lot less than $800 (used!). According to the manufacturer of my Atma-Sphere pre-amp, it can drive lengths as long as 200 feet. Don't know about the Audio Research. You... | |
| How do Newforms sound? Hey Patmatt: Sorry to see you lump Newforms with other ribbons and electrostats. After 10+ years with both, I don't find your truth to be mine. But that's hi-fi. | |
| How do Newforms sound? The owner's group is somewhere on Yahoo. Don't have the address. My experience with a pair was not too positive. Kind of had a Bose-like perspective with the sound everywhere. They're too tall for ordinary chairs so you have to tilt them downwards... | |
| Like Herbie Hancock's funk, more please I think the Brecker Bros. did it up right. They got tons o' stuff. George Duke of the 70's and some 80's funks out. | |
| Tube damping? Common wisdom is that the driver tubes may need damping but not the power tubes. Kevin Deal advises stongly against tapping on tubes as this could make exaserbate (sp?) the problem by loosening other components inside the tube. I bought HAL-Os and... | |
| Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral Would love to help but haven't heard the new Quads. Good luck in San Antonio (Galen Carol?). | |
| Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral Thank god the CLSIIZ is going away, a true amplifier nightmare.So you like classical music. What ARE you going to do about low bass, no, not THAT low bass, the low bass below 30HZ which would include Mahler, Rachmaninoff, Resphigi, any organ music... |
