| Power cable I have a few Pangea AC cables which are a relative bargain compared to ultra expensive ones (the AC9 is like a garden hose but note that it will not work as an actual garden hose so don’t even try that)...I also have an older PS Audio cable that l... | |
| RIP Tom Jones Tom Jones was also a great movie from 1963 starring Albert Finney...sort of blew my young mind...famous eating scene. | |
| Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion? I enjoy opinions that agree with mine, and utterly reject those that don't. | |
| KT-77 vs. KT-66 So you need 8 power tubes...at today's prices that gets an "ouch." Yeah I love the XA-25's utter transparency, but my Had amp just looks sad sitting there and it's easy to swap the wires over to it so there's that, and I'm always amazed and entert... | |
| KT-77 vs. KT-66 I think the Gold Lion 66s have a little more low end maybe. Although unless I listen to them and quickly take them out and put the 77s in its really hard to tell critical differences, and I generally don’t do that. Suffice to say, after break-in (... | |
| KT-77 vs. KT-66 I've been using my Dennis Had SEP tube amp again lately (I switch between it and a Pass XA-25) which can utilize a really wide variety of "KT" type tubes and I really like KT77s (Gold Lion) in the thing. A fave for sure. I discovered a forgotten ... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players Try the new Schiit "URD" CD transport (just released, USA made of course) as they seem to know what they're doing, and if you use it with the Bifrost 2/64 (I have one...sounds excellent) you can utilize their own "unison" USB connection and get th... | |
| Best preamp under 1500$ freya+ , cary slp03 ? I'm an "original version" Freya owner (using NOS GE tubes) and it holds up against pretty much anything out there easily earning it a "class A" rating. The only issue seems to be the fact that the thing is just too inexpensive for some and hey, th... | |
| Tube microphonics In a "combo" guitar amp the entire amp including the tubes are in the same box as the speaker. Since the mid 30s. It works great. | |
| Base trap spacing Yeah...I feel much better...by the way, BASS...it's BASS NOT "base." | |
| Cable elevators I'll believe in cable risers (actually, I won't) when somebody explains what's happening to the poor tortured cables inside EVERY speaker...the crossover gets it also...the dreaded vibration. Be afraid, be very afraid... | |
| Randy Meisner has passed away. I saw him with the original Eagles opening for and playing with Linda Ronstadt at the Waikiki Shell in the early 70s. Gotta say, the Eagle's live vocals were stunning... perfect. Randy was absolutely a great musician and killer singer. | |

| How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups? I have an SP4 pair also in my video rig (it was replaced in my main hifi by the new version of Kimber SP8 as I needed a longer pair)...I have to know...who is the person who has paid full list for a pair of Morrows? Somebody out there...maybe... | |
| How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups? I have some Morrow cables and they sound fine, but it still mystifies me that they’re described as "solid core" when their cables (using seemingly the same wire for IC and speaker cables) run from 8 to 288 ("SSI" somehow coated with something) tin... |
