    The nozzles have the same flaw as the velvet, namely that they do not have a ridge allowing use of a wider set of tips. Most tips simply slip off, so you are limited to stock tips, which are not not great a fit for me.I can wear the Velvets if I just sit, but walking around is a no go, the tips...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I have both, and find the VI's to be more euphonic as well as having an additional level of refinement over the V's. In my mind, the VI's are worth it, as I'd rate the VI's just short of the fibass and lab I's although there are times when I wonder because they can sound so downright...

    Thank you very much for the image regarding the position of the dials. Far, far better than what was in the package.   KP

    Crack;Bottlehead OTL

    Quote: This the recommended use of the DAC, power cycling puts greater strain on the tubes that leaving it on. The only casualty so far has been a rectifier tube going after 7 years, although the other tubes do get rolled. I would not do this with a power amp, though. Having said that, I've...

    Quote:   Doubt it, tubes are made to run 24/7. My DAC has been on 24/7 the last 8 years. As long as the transformer can take it and there are no cold solder joints.   KP

    La Figaro 339

    Quote: This may not be it, but in some recordings there is magnetic "bleed" across the tapes where the music is stored. This is easily heard in albums like Led Zeppelin II. During silent stretches you will hear a faint echo of what will play in a few seconds at full volume.   KP

    Quote: Yes, it is a top notch combo. Not bright at ll, gives the T1 some much needed body without sacrificing precision. I really enjoy it with the humble RCA 6AS7G and 12bh7 tubes. This is a very warm combination. The Crack can easily sound warmer than the 339 (which I also own) while the...

    Agree, I have tried about 10 different old USA 6sn7's, all work very well. Tung sol long plates are top three. Try a Sylvania chrome top and GE 5 Star 6080 if you can.   KP

    I have a couch right behind the chair in my home office, just plop down on that. Also just got a 25' Mogami extension so I can reach the couch in my speaker room (very quiet there) or the couch in the Florida room.   Come to think of it, if I drop this cable through the window I can listen...

    I'm getting into speakers and I'm looking for help -speakers for METAL-

    They do require amplification, both will play very loud with fairly little power and insanely loud with gobs of power. When I went through my loud music phase, back in the day, I had a pair of 12" Cerwin Vega speakers. These would make the walls shake and could literally crack the plaster on the...

    Well, it's the risk we take in business when we let family do something they are not qualified to do. At least the kid won't have to be fired.   KP
