| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Heart attack, Mattzack2?!? WOW, that's serious in the kind of way we almost never get around here. Terrible news, I'm very sorry. I'm amazed how quickly you've gotten back into the game.I've been in contact with JJ through the past year, and they ... | |
| How many still listen to CD's daily. Me too | |
| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread Thank you for your impressions, Mapman.It's good to see people's perspective, even if we don't hear the same thing. You're a lot more sanguine about the sound you described than I am. Again, I felt most rooms sounded poor.In addition to RMAF, sinc... | |
| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread I was there yesterday, and found it most disappointing on a variety of fronts. Few rooms, poor attendance, and the sound in most rooms was below par.Hopefully, the show attendance will be better when you make it today. When you return, let's compa... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes I could be wrong, but the Create Audio 5AR4 looks like a relabeled Shuguang.Whart, "I haven't tried any tubes that are currently manufactured, apart from the Chinese tube mentioned above."If it's the standard Shuguang 5AR4, the Mullard provides a ... | |
| Interesting Ads Chayro, "I just found it very unusual that a seller had to go through his life story to sell you some hifi equipment."Indeed. Then again, as he's selling at a price that makes one wonder why they wouldn't just go to their own dealer, I guess he fe... | |
| What's up with ads for $70,000 speakers selling In the strongest possible terms, I recommend exercising extreme caution.Not sure if anyone remembers, but several months ago a seemingly authentic looking/appearing e-mail went out asking members to verify their accounts. I happen to know the fall... | |
| New JJ KT77 I have the JJ EL34, E34L, and KT77. I find it amazing how so very different these three tubes sound.Personally, I like the E34L best. It offers an absolutely glorious midrange, as good as any tube I've come across. The problem is the weak low end.... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes While I have a Mullard 5AR4/GZ34, I find the JJ sound very nice, better than Shuguang, and a good enough option for me. Unfortunately, the Shuguang have proved more rugged/reliable. | |
| No mention of Carroll Shelby passing? There's more than enough CS coverage to warrant purchase the current issue of Motor Trend. | |
| Re-winding B&W 15" Subwoofer Speaker Sorry about the situation you're facing.Millersound http://www.millersound.net/about.htm could have made the repair to your original driver for a fraction of the $700 B&W charged you for a new one. They do this all day long. At any rate, you w... | |
| PSB Speaker Components For Sale Thank you for the kind words, Hoang35. I'll try to search for the schematic on the web. If I find it, we should be able to make an assessment. | |
| I think Mechans is correct People here should know when I first met The Doctor, and in a subsequent encounter or three, I told him to run, not walk, as fast as he could from this ridiculous hobby. What a silly and foolish lot we are.Unfortunately, he did not heed my advice.... | |
| Manly Jumbo shrimp & chinook or MW LS_100 I currently have the Jumbo Shrimp and have been around Modwright stuff.Both products have fairly different presentations. If you seek more of a modern type of sound, the Modwright would be the way to go. The Manley is richer, and more of a flesh o... | |
| PSB Speaker Components For Sale Jonheal, in all honesty, if you have any need for loudspeakers, your suggestion will provide you with the best return on investment.The only thing I would think about is to evaluate the crossover, and consider simplification of the network. That's... |
