Tu-be or not tubeHey, Charles. Nope, the Triton is still up with my friend. Should get it back this spring. The Franks sound great. Just got the MastersounD back, it's fun jumping back and forth. Choose what you wa... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |

Tommorows Legacy, todayJay, I love the look of that room. The Neos add a sort of retro look to it. Fantastic. Have you tried room room treatments? With that hard floor and mixed bag of wood and what looks like plaster bo... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Very nice. Been waiting to see pics of this setup. Any plans for carpeting the floor? Do you not get some odd resonant frequencies with the solid tile floor? Ceramic, I'm thinking, perhaps marble? ... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Tu-be or not tubeThe Matrix is a nice addition. Easy to set up and use, and it does a great job cleaning and reconditioning old vinyl. My records are all 25-35 years old, and some were beaten up pretty good, so the... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Tu-be or not tubeThe Blinn rack is a great iso rack. Was worried that I'd still get feedback through the TT with the huge bass the JL can pump out, but it's dead quiet at any volume. Credit to the isolation qualiti... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

Tu-be or not tubeYes, I think so. Fuller, warmer, less edge with the Telefunkens. I'd like to try Mullards or Amperex one day and see how it changes the sound. posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

Tu-be or not tubeYes, it does help. The input impedance on the Frankensteins is listed on Coincident's site as "100kohm". Can that be right? Maybe...the MastersounD is listed as 50 k Ohms. Coincident's li... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

A Lot Of Work To Do (Revisited)I really like the way you've taken top shelf components and tailored the sound to your tastes with tube rolling. Very nicely done. That's a lot of the fun with tube gear, isn't it? Have you tried a... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Set For NowLike the Aragon amps. Always represented a very good value, with gobs of power. Really enjoyed mine until it got fried by a DC coupled preamp, which fueled the switch to tubes. posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
