| Quietest fan for room Agree on a ceiling fan, though none of mine are in my listening rooms. They do work exceptionally well. If possible for you to implement, that's my recommendation.I've been around the Dyson, it seems quiet as some have mentioned. I wonder about th... | |
| No mention of Carroll Shelby passing? Thank you for initiating this post, Corazon. Personally, I appreciate a bit of conversation here that transcends audio.Since I was a kid, the cars Shelby put his hands always stirred me. He had the unique gift of ratcheting up both the aesthetic a... | |
| Periodic replacement of Audio Grade Fuses? Hiendmuse, "I have had regular Buss fuses in my equipment for many years without need for replacement."I believe that should serve as the definitive statement regarding fuses. | |
| Memorial Day Though it will come across as feeble in comparison to what they have done, my deepest and most profound thank you to those who served and their kinfolk. | |
| Opinion of Quicksilver KT88 60 watt mono amps I own a pair of Quicksilver monoblocks, and have to say their level of refinement far exceeded my expectations.Echoing what Marakanetz said, with brands like Quicksilver, why would anyone pay more money for the inferior Chinese imports? You deal w... | |
| Who here uses Von Gaylord amps or other gear? Over the course of more than a decade, in the various times I've heard Von Gaylord/Legend at shows or two of my local dealers, I've always come away struck by their incredible musicality and terrific sound.Aside from that, their use of the 6550 ha... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help The JJ that I liked in this amp are the E34L, which do have a much different sound than their EL34.The JJ EL34 is more typical of EL34 sound, with an evenness of hand from top to bottom. The E34L give up some of the bottom end for a midrange that ... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help No, I think that is Joe Abrams of Equus Audio. I remember his banner ads here on Audiogon.Please let us know how the amp sounds at 150 mV, and whether you feel the Mullard EL34 should stay. | |
| Best Chinese Preamp for Bryston 7B Sts? Also concur with considering an American preamplifier.Another benefit is that when you deal with American products they not only retain their value in a far superior manner, but you have actual interest in people buying them if you decide to get o... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Mattzack2, thankfully, I've received two replies from Jadis. Both, from principals of the company.The JOR conforms to the traditional means of calculating bias current. So, the calculations above ARE correct.Patrick used 150 mV and stated, "the so... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Mattzack2, your experience perfectly mirrors my experience when it comes to bias. As I said, as you increase the current flow in the output tube, outside of tube life, EVERYTHING gets better.At this point, I don't want to encourage you to stray fa... | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? Kenneythekey, I'm impressed in the most incredible way by your willingness to travel all the way to the East Coast to hear the Hornings. Indeed, the bravo goes not to me, but you! It's exactly THAT kind of passion that makes this hobby so wonderfu... | |
| OPT question: AirTight w/ Tamura vs Marant 8B I think this comes down to a vanilla and chocolate kind of thing. Neither amplifier is right or wrong; both should offer tremendous sound and pride of ownership.Let's admit the Tamura transformers surely rank among the best in current production. ... |
