| differences between tube and solid state designs I just cannot go along with this notion that I hear repeated all the time, "The best tube and solid state amplifiers seem to be converging in sound."Personally, I've more or less yet to hear a solid state amplifier that can make me happy. They jus... | |
| Cayin A88 sells in one day Let's give Paul a break here...Yes, he's passionate about the Cayin, and I appreciate that. Passion is a good thing, it drives the hobby. I see many other people, a lot of them some of the more respected people on the site, talking about other bra... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Yes, a lot of subletys to the DEQ2496, Eldartford. Thanks for making my learning curve a lot shorter! It always pays to follow someone who has already conquered the learning curve.Last night, I spent a good amount of time with the Behringer, first... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? Paul, I think Jadis supplies KT88 tubes these days in the Orchestra and DA lines. Pierre Gabriel does take pictures with a lot of tubes, however. And, it shows the flexibility of the amplifiers.I believe Jadis was using KT88 in the mid - late 90s,... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? I have a DA30 and DA60. The DA60 is definitely worth the price of admission over a JOR, DA30, or DA50S. The DA60 moves to some seriously larger transformers, which are the most important component of a tube amplifier. The trannies are what you sho... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Eldartford, I got the unit working for me last night. Like a complete and total IDIOT, I had the inputs going to my integrated, and outputs going to my CD player. After a couple of minutes of playing around, only being able to get output in "Bypas... | |
| TRELJA almost In New York, 2006 Just to make myself clear, a friend of mine asked me over the phone what I felt the best sound at the VTV Show was. I apologize for not spelling it out as well as I should.2006 VTV TRELJA Best of Show - Jeff Catalano and the Horning Room. Miles ah... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? OK, next question... Does the Behringer DEQ2496 only produce sound when operated in bypass mode when both inputs and outputs are in the analog domain? I must have tried every conceivable configuration over a 2 hour period last night, and was only ... | |
| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? Paul, whenever you retube an amplifier, this happens.Put the tubes back in, and let them run in for at least 25 hours. They'll open up. Trust me. It's called break in.Now, I'm not the biggest fan of EH KT88 or 6550, and you may end up preferring t... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Thank you, Eldartford. That was just the information I needed.I've got my XLR stuff all in order, and am ready to fire her up, sans microphone, for the initial test drive. | |
| Seeking hot running amps I'd like to hear someone tell us how Atma Sphere amplifiers are anything BUT reliable. Personally, I haven't come across a more reliable amplifier, be it Class A, Class A+, Class A/B, Class B, Class D, or Class XYZ.Yes, if you want heat, a Class A... | |
| TRELJA almost In New York, 2006 Robyatt, thank you for your input.I find Lowthers (own the PM6A and PM6C) to be far smoother than what I heard from the AER drivers, but will again say that the VTV rooms are not the be all and end all in terms of sonics.For what it's worth, in ou... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Marty, I believe the unit is, in itself, as 24/96 DAC - hence the name. It it advertised as both A/D and D/A. I intend on mine going between my digital source and integrated or powere amp (hopefully, I won't use a preamp).A little more information... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? OK, so now that I have sorted some other stuff out, trying the Behringer DEQ 24/96 was next up. Yesterday, I picked one up at the local Guitar Center. Nicely priced at $279.I was under the impression the unit came with the microphone, which mine d... | |
| Listening at very low volume For the sake of the inquisitive, can both Warrenh and Papertrail define "low volumes" - I mean in terms of dB. Thank you!Joe |
