| Excellent review of CAPACITORS Must read I must apologize for not submitting this post sooner, but I spoke to my friend in regards to this thread Sunday, and the fact that his name does not appear in this article was his choosing. He is a really busy person, and simply did not want the h... | |
| Excellent review of CAPACITORS Must read The author is a very good friend of mine. I'm not sure why his name is not used in the article; he's only referred to in references like "him", etc. I'll ask him if he wanted things this way, or if it's OK for me to mention his name here on Audiog... | |
| Shouldn't the Bass be felt? Duh In my experience, I also have come to the same conclusion as Blueskiepbd.The reasons I place on not getting bass right are:1) Incorrect loudspeaker placement. For the best explanation of this, see Romy The Cat's Article on "The Dead Points of Live... | |
| Anyone on Tungstram 6DJ8s? Grant, I also have a trio of Tungram 12AU7/ECC82. You are very keen in your observations, oh wise one. As far as mine go, not only are they very similar in tone to Mullard - they ARE Mullards - manufactured in the Blackburn factory and labeled Tun... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Maybe I'm just out in left field...I ALWAYS ask the seller, "What is your best price?" I don't see it as tire kicking, trying to push a seller into negotiating with himself, or whatever. I don't waste a seller's time with a lot of back and forth. ... | |
| Tube question I also am a very big fan of the Amperex Bugle Boy tubes. I like the 12AU7, and am about to test 2 sets of their premium 12AU7, the 7316/E186CC - both the D Getter and Halo (now I forget if it's the large or small halo) Getter versions I've recentl... | |
| What are the advantages of tubes in a CD Player? Thanks for the insights, Grant!And, I do agree most emphatically with you; I don't consider the 6H30 as nearly an attractive option than a tube you can roll - 12AX7, 12AU7, 6922, etc. Just about impossible for me to believe a Russian tube can comp... | |
| Tube question I also am extremely fond of the tubes from Germany, Holland, and England. A lot of my reference tubes (6922 and 12AU7) are these varieties. That being said, don't discount the American tubes, which more than a few people seem to do.The Shuguang Tr... | |
| What are the advantages of tubes in a CD Player? Grant, if I may ask, what were your impressions of the Droplet?Thanks in advance!Joe | |
| Tube question This is all my own personal opinion...In the vast majority of cases, I find the Russian tubes to be more than disappointing. The Sovteks tend to be grainy, harsh, and bright, while not offering good detail or frequency extension. The EH, which som... | |
| 0 feedback sellers Soundlock, please go back and read Marty's (Viridian) post in the humorous light that just about all his posts are. He's NOT being serious - he's funny and entertaining via slapstick and/or ridiculous statements. He ligthens up even the most serio... | |
| Tube question Right now the current Shuguang KT88 and 12AX7 are on par with the legends of audio.But, as has been mentioned, in the past, when the military and commercial (telecommunications, radio/tv, computers) electronics industries relied on vacuum tubes as... | |
| help Terry Cain Incredibly sad news. Our hearts go out to him and his family. Hopefully, they will find peace in all of this.Godspeed,Joe | |
| RIP Dad Elgordo Elgordo was one of the more fun Audiogoners. Know that he was both liked and respected greatly. It's heartening to know he lived his life to the fullest. We all mourn your loss, Mandocarrie. You must be incredibly proud to be his son.Godspeed,Joe | |
| Why Purchase used tubes? My friend buys really extravagant tubes, used. Telefunken 12AX7 are his favorite pick. He pays a fraction of what people do for NOS. Then, he tests them using a far more elaborate method than most - using an ocilloscope as opposed to a tube tester... |
