| Best short-lived band? Here are three that were around long enough to get into our heads, but went away before we could really glom on to them:1) Creedence Cleawater Revival. You can throw out a lot of dates, but lets go with 1967 - 19712) The Doors. Interestingly enoug... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Newbee's first point on the impedance curve of the speaker is taking you to where you really need to be. I'll add in phase angle as well.One other parameter I think that should be discussed is the crossover topology. How simple or complex the cros... | |
| Montana Speakers? Have they fizzled out? Trolling, trolling, trolling...Don't fall into the trap, Oz. As the moniker says, he's in Disneyland. | |
| while waiting on a preamp for my DEFY 7/6550's Nicely done, Newbee!One thing I just wanted to put out there is that my perspective comes from learning the hard way. I have owned three Jadis integrateds: a JOR that I bought new, and a DA30 and DA60 that I bought used. The only one that was righ... | |
| while waiting on a preamp for my DEFY 7/6550's You are going to have to spend a bundle on Czech KT90 tubes. Personally, I've never seen a Czech KT90...On a more serious note, tubes are made in Slovakia, not the Czech Republic. Ei KT90 tubes were produced in the former Yugoslavia, prior to the ... | |
| Walkers SST silver treatment Silver tarnish is silver sulfide. It is conductive, but not as conductive as silver oxide. Normally, silver oxide is the concern when silver is used in electronic applications, though it's probably not such a problem for audio.The silver in these ... | |
| Sweet sounding SE tube amps under $3K USED I'll also chime in on the side of the VAC 30/30 suggestion. Absolutely outstanding products from a lights out high-end audio manufacturer.One benefit that cannot be underestimated is that you are joining a family run by one of THE BEST people in t... | |
| Best rock song of all times This is proving an impossible task for me. So many on this list would get my vote. But I'll nominate one that's not yet been mentioned, "Crosstown Traffic" by Jimi Hendrix. | |
| Assessing quality of power Joe, his Audiogon username is "Sean". Maybe he'll chime into this thread. At any rate, I'm sure if you hooked up with him, he'd provide you with a wealth of information to get you started. | |
| Assessing quality of power I may be confusing this with something else, but I believe there was a thread where our good friend Sean created a device that was able to assess the power coming out of one's outlet(s). And, he offered to put it into a sort of "lending library" w... | |
| Tube CD player? My very close friend, The Doctor (Mechans) and I were able to A/B my Granite 657 and his Audio Aero Prima in his system. We were able to run both players into his monoblock power amplifiers, though the solid state output of the 657 (same as the Gr... | |
| Tube CD player? You may have to stretch a little bit on your budget to really get what you want, or give up the tube output criteria. But if you cannot move away from either, maybe the AMC 6 is a good CD player for you?If you can move a little in price, the Grani... | |
| Jolida 100 CD Player - No Disk error Jakelee, is the player able to read any discs now?Not sure what exactly made the crashing sound, but it's related to the transport/laser head mechanism.If it cannot read any discs, this probably has been damaged. Don't know about Jolida players sp... | |
| Larry Bud Melman - RIP He was certainly one of a kind. You are so right, many, many laughs! I was a huge fan. | |
| Sony SCD-C2000ES vs.222ES, 333ES and 555ES I also own a Sony 333ES, and from the day I brought it home in 2002 until now, I just cannot get over how great the sound is. I figured it would be a lightweight, thin sound, and that I'd most probably be using the 30 return option, but wanted to ... |
