| "Sizzling" tweeters at high volume? Good luck with the new speakers Sedond! I presume when you say Accuton drivers, you mean the ceramic(Al2O3, aka alumina) coned tweeters and/or midranges? If this is so, I think you are fortunate. I have heard(second hand) that these drivers are qu... | |
| "Sizzling" tweeters at high volume? Sedond, I find the Focal titanium tweeters to be the worst of the lot. Followed next, by the tioxid(TiO2). To my ears, the Kevlar tweeters are the least offending. I have also noticed that these tweeters are very system dependent. With a laid back... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Garfish, perhaps you should investigate different tube amps. The various brands all have different sonic signatures. From solid state sounding, to as warm and sweet as honey. And EVERYTHING in between. Have you read the Sam Tellig review of a McCo... | |
| Jolida 302 As far as I know, the only differences between 302A and 302B are cosmetic. E-mail Jolida for the final word. | |
| What to look for in a multimeter? The more you pay, the more accuracy you get. Like many instruments, accuracy is the number one determinant of price. The accuracy can generally be determined by the number of digits of the meter. You can also put stock in the brand name on the met... | |
| Please help a new tube user! Sorry to have neglected your second question. Buy a multimeter, as you can do so much more than a voltmeter with it. A good one(and you don't need anything great) can be had reasonably(less than $100). Biasing a Jolida is simple. Not the easiest(l... | |
| Please help a new tube user! Forget about changing the tubes until you evaluate the amp as it is. The first thing to do is to look at the tubes. See if there is a name on the glass. After that, set your system up, and LISTEN. Nothing wrong? Why change? I do recommend that if ... | |
| King Cobra vs. FIM ????? Bruce, you stand up, and say what you want to. WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH!!! I for one, want to hear your opinions. If you think FIM(or anything else) is good, bad, or ugly, tell us. There are people on this site who openly push certain product(some... | |
| Album of the year? I really am enamored with Shelby Lynne's "I am Shelby Lynne" Soulful and real. Able to move me, which is something that qualifies it as a long term survivor in the heavy rotation. | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Tubegroover. As they say, "You can take the kid outta Philly, but you can't take Philly outta the kid". Damn right !!!!***EAGLES***!!!! Tampa Bay is the better team, but we got the addytood. Proud of ya! | |
| Trelja and Leafs: Coincident Questions Sorry Sean, I failed to mention to contact him via e-mail(go to the Coincident website). He personally answers the e-mail, and faster than most people would think. Joe | |
| Trelja and Leafs: Coincident Questions Hi Sean. No, I do not know EXACTLY what driver is used in the Eclipse. Actually, I am not that well versed on their new speaker models. Sorry. I did go to the Coincident website for you, to get a look at the Eclipse midrange drivers. I do know tha... | |
| Patricia Barber and Stereophile Can't wait to hear her new CD. From her previous stuff, I like Cafe Blue the best. JAB, what was she like when you met her? She would seem to have quite an interesting personality from her music. | |
| Tube Amplifiers? JAB, while I agree with your feelings on the KT88, I do prefer the 2A3 over the 300B. I used to think the 300B was as good as it got. 2A3? 3 watts, 5 watts? Well, I took the time to really get into it, and have to say it is better than the 300B to... | |
| Any Amps with Volume control?? Some of the former NAD products had these. I have used a 2600A, and gotten many wonderful sounding years out of it. I recall Parasound also having these. If you want an SET amp, Audio Electron Supply(Cary) has two. One is the SE-811A, which I have... |
