| NYC Show I was also there yesterday.I didn't expect it to be that good a show, and that turned out to be the case. In fact, I think it was the weakest of any that I've attended. The venue itself was poor - antiquated, dirty, hot, and the 8th floor smelled ... | |
| Cat-proofing your speakers... I had a cat once.It tasted like chicken. | |
| Clarence Clemons - RIP This one hit me particularly hard when it was announced he suffered a stroke. Absolutely one heck of a sax player and a person.As has been said, RIP Big Man. | |
| sub for spica tc50 Kinergetics made a pair of subs specifically for this application, as well as stands to hold both them and the Spicas, and amps/crossovers to drive the subs. It was popular in some very high-end audio dealerships 20+ years ago.I heard many people ... | |

| Missouri Tornado prayers go out to all Adding my amen and prayers to the above messages. | |
| Amplifier Weight. A Factor? Having been around great lightweight components and lousy heavy ones, I find the idea of weight translating to quality has tremendous potential to mislead.One thing that hasn't been mentioned here is that as much or more than anything else, the ch... | |
| What the heck is bias anyway? Kirkus, where the analogy of idle speed falls apart is with an engine, regardless of whether I set the idle speed at 500 (for the sake of example - too low), 800 (recommended), or 1650 (too high) RPM, performance will be identical at 2500, 3500, o... | |
| What the heck is bias anyway? You know I always love your explanations, Kirkus, and I know you know all about bias, but I think the analogy of idle speed on is somewhat misleading to those who are trying to understand.If idle speed is set low or high, the performance of the en... | |
| Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5 I'm currently using the Pass XA30.5, and have to say the amp drives the loudspeakers I've paired with it thus far quite well. | |
| Any vets among the Audiophiles here? Amen to the above two posts. A job far more than well done, as close to perfectly executed as could ever exist on this earth.Thank God for all of you, and thank you all! | |
| Jadis orchestra reference or DA50 for Proac D15? Yz_yang, I have received confirmation from Jadis.You can use EL34, 6CA7, KT88, 6550, KT90, and KT120. He has not tried KT77, so he feels uncomfortable to recommend them. But personally, I use them with no issue.Many folks are talking about KT120 t... | |
| Jadis orchestra reference or DA50 for Proac D15? Yz_yang, you provided a lot of good information there, thank you!I believe the DA50S should be able to run EL34/6CA7/KT77 tube variants without issue. Though it and the DA88S were featured with KT88 output tubes, I think, like the other cathode bi... | |
| Jadis orchestra reference or DA50 for Proac D15? The relevant question is, are you satisfied with the way your Cayin drives the ProAc D15? If so, either Jadis will get the job done.I own a JOR, DA30, and DA60, and would tend to agree with Avguy about the superiority of the DA50S over the JOR, th... | |
| The downward spiral..... Excellent (and true!) topic.For all of the expensive amps I own, not a one sounds as right or provides me with as much musical enjoyment as my (bone stock, but with modern parts) Dynaco ST70. More or less, the same is true of some of the Fried lou... |
