| What do these tubes sound like? Amplifier design is more critical, as are the transformers.However, the tubes listed in your query are so different that you can discuss the issue because you don't normally find 6550 based SET amps or more modern amplifier topologies using the 30... | |
| What's the deal with palladium?? Formerly, I was a chemist/material scientist producing conductors, resistors, dielectrics, encapsulants for the electronics industry. Some of our customers are highly esteemed hi - end audio companies.Palladium(Pd) was one component which was incl... | |
| A Little Hypocrisy? Two wrongs don't make a right!It's true, the high end is rife with overpriced components. The price of cable in particular is ludicrous. However, I recently started a thread about why the price of a CD is higher than $9.99. I used to buy a lot of ... | |
| New Meadowlark Ospreys I haven't yet heard the Osprey, but I have listened to the model below it, the Swift. The location was the 2002 NYC Stereophile HiFi Show. They were a part of the Rogue Audio room. My impressions are that the speaker is not as full as I would like... | |
| Dynaudio 25th anniversary speakers While paging through the November Stereophile, I noticed the ad for these speakers.I must say that in my opinion, they really dropped the ball in the looks department. Of course, they may very well look better in person than in the picture. I sure... | |
| I don't understand Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" I also sure hope that Sdcampbell checks into this thread.For me, Kind of Blue hit me like a thunderbolt.I bought it because it is de riguer, the essential jazz piece, and at the time I had been diving deeper into jazz. At first, I played it, then ... | |
| Advice on purchasing classics amplifiers.Which one Jaguar1845, I would say that while the VTL amplifiers of 1980's vintage are not normally thought of as being unreliable, the build quality racheted up by leaps and bounds during the 1990's. Compare an amp of theirs from 1990 to one from 1996; nigh... | |
| Blue glow in power tube? Viggen, congratulations!In the eyes of a great many hard core tubeophiles, the blue glow signifies a superior tube. Instead of worrying, look at it as your new favorite tube. | |
| Anyone know of the new Jolida JD 3000 Tube amps? Muralman1, the Jolida featured the stock Chinese tubes. My dealer friend never runs anything other than the stock tubes in the equipment he sells. We did speak about that. I do think that a lot of people will be drawn to the way Jolida products so... | |
| SACD - M. Davis - So What Ben, I apologize for misinterpreting your post.I do not yet own "Kind Of Blue" on SACD, but I was fortunate enough to borrow a copy. As I said, the difference was most notable on upright bass and cymbals. I also was able to hear much deeper into t... | |
| SACD - M. Davis - So What Ben, I think your experience sums up SACD.The two things I hear SACD do much better than CD are the two things you listed. First, there is a foundation to the music's lower registers that is absent from all but the exotic CD players of the world. ... | |
| Anyone know of the new Jolida JD 3000 Tube amps? Jaguar1845, thanks for your feedback. Please know that in no way would I ever not give Jolida their due. I am one of their biggest fans. I'll take a 202a or 302b over most of the sub $1500 competition. Very nice sound; warm, rich, and full bodied.... | |
| Anyone know of the new Jolida JD 3000 Tube amps? Jolida has traditionally made great integrated amps. They have always took aim at the entry level tube buyer, and they have always delivered. I own some pretty nice tube amps, but am always delighted by the sound of Jolida amps, which I come acros... | |
| What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you? The orange marble finish of Green Mountain speakers gets my vote, pretty disgusting. The Avant Garde horns are really over the top as well. Taylor made some really ugly yellow speakers a year or so ago. Flames are ridiculous.For what it's worth, I... | |
