I think SET is worth a try but again I am biased no pun intended . I bought my 300B amps not knowing if they would have enough power for me but fortunately they do however everyone is different and loud to one is not loud for another blah blah blah. I wouldn't send my 300B's back for anything but I wold also like some PP quads to listen to as well. I have a friend who has been into hifi audio for 20+years and after hearing my belles and 300B's he wants to try a similar setup with either 2A3's or 300B's. You can always resell gear easily on audiogon if it is not your cup of tea. Check out this Cary http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1108697473 not a bad price but I am probably attracted to it for the shiney factor have fun

I'm suprised there aren't more gatherings in arkansas given how many forum members I have noticed are here and given hope and all. Do they still do tours in Hope?

What CD/Album are you Beating to Death Right Now
seti replied to thebes's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
---------------- Flaming Lips - Yoshimi and the Robots ---------------- I saw the Flaming Lips play in Little Rock at the DMZ now vinos in 1988. They wore crush velvet had a fog machine that malfuntioned and played the weirdest hippi sh1t I had ever heard. I was amazed first time I heard them on the radio. -
That is very strange to me? So there target audience is ipod owners and it's tube driven hmmm. I think they gave some marketers a bunch of acid and locked them in a room till they came out with a product it is different. Don't think I would spend that much even though my office could use a system. If I needed to buy an office system I could get some used Heresy's for $500 or under, integrated tube $500 or under, AH!Joeb 4000 CDP $700 and sound better for $1700 or under.

The Bad Livers track turpentine willie : ) -
Hmm never thought about the safety factor. The main reason I leave them on starting Thursday night is the impatient factor because I like to listen all weekend. If I am home tunes are on and I just hate waiting but I suppose an hour or two is really not that long to wait. I've never had any accidents with audio gear going up in smoke if I did I would have a cow : ) Have you guys seen this tube based clock ? I want one too cool! http://www.audioadvisor.com/store/productdetail.asp?sku=NIXIECLOCK&product_name=Nixie%20Tube%20Clock Thanks for the input

Because mine seems pretty stable. I do notice after a year or two it's starting to slow down. The downloading of web pages are starting creap a bit. I had xp me and it crashed all the time. Then again I was a beginner, and man was it frustrating learning on a computer that crashed all the time. Any recomendations on how to get my web pages to pop up quicker? Sorry if this is off topic. I figured I would sneek a question in on the tech talk. ---------------- I have to use windows and os x for work but for personal use I prefer OS X just a preference like ss or tube. I had a win2k pro computer go almost 2 years without a reinstall which was a record for me. Now with all the adware/spyware/virus/trojan issues that are out it can be easily avoided by using mac os x. I have issues with an OS that will let software load on your computer without your knowledge just by visiting a webpage very dangerous imho. I wish I had bought my parents a mac as I spend many hours a month cleaning up after them. I think as an OS windows was at it's height with win2k pro and or win98 se. If you want to see how bloated and slow windows has become put win 98se on a new machine and it will just scream. I think this is why alot of people are using linux/os x instead of windows now. If your internet connection has slowed down it could be because of to much adware/spyware try running adaware if you haven't already. good luck

Wow Thanks for all the feedback. I think part of the problem is that I am a tad impatient and I want it to sound good NOW! It could be in my head that the longer they are on the better they sound but I know there is a big difference between a cold start and a couple hours afterward. The most I listen to my system is on the weekends or after a mentally grueling day perhaps I will try just turning them on in the mornings and turning them off at night over the weekends. It may be my subconcious brain trying to get my turn burn out my 300bs so I can try the new sophia 300bs http://www.sophiaelectric.com/pages/se/princess_300b.htm thanks again for all the info

At my last job I was in charge of a 4TB SAN well RAID 10 so that made it 2TB and yes we managed to slice a bit off for ourselves for storing mpg/mp3s. Dam that was fast nothing better than fiberoptic storage. I miss that leviathan and it's blinky lights.

Hmm now I have seen problems with PCs if they temporarily loose connection with a firewire drive this can lock them up perhaps when you plugged in the other drive it temporarily lost it's mind and seemed to be unavailable which sent winders into the downward spiral. Just a guess have you tried shutting down the computer plugging them the firewire drives in perhaps even in a different order and then booting up?

The best tweak I have found so far is to simply leave my tubes on as much as possible. I have recently started turning them on Thursday so they will be toasty by the weekend. The difference in cold and warm tubes to me is the difference between night and day. My only question is how much electricity does all this tube gear suck up? 2 x 300b monoblocks 1 x wright preamp and a cd player. The cdplayer isn't much but what about the tubes is it any more than solid state. I have never seen this brought up and was just curious. I gues I could turn off all the electricity in my house turn on the tube gear and watch the difference in meter spinage. This may be a dumb question but hell I want to know

How many puchcards would it take to fill my crappy mp3 collection ? Hmmmmmm It couldn't possibly cost that much to run HAH. A friend and I were going to pick up this old mainframe from Chicago until we found out the Power/AC bill alone was $10K a month. It was free but the WAF factor would have been off the charts.

---------------- Of course daisy chaining the 2 together over firewire crashed big time ---------------- Are these PC's? Never seen this behavior on OS X unless of course the OS is on the Firewire drive and I unplug it : ). Firewire is incredible I want to experiment with using the IP over Firewire which I just haven't had time to do. I want a computer that runs on tubes so I have a better chance of surviving emp from a nuke : ) wonder how big that would be hmmm....

Wow I usually hate gold but that is super sweet. The VAC and Art Audio gear always looks superb would love to listen.

eBay handle one out of thousands? I STILL would love to know how the scammers have attained the full email address. If they are going through the eBay contact Seller OR the ask Seller a question and they have been informed that some of the addresses are scams, technically, they are aiding and abetting. Be am interesting Civil case. dodger ---------------- I wonder if their security has been compromised? Stranger things have happened.

Have Tar and Feathers will travel. At least the individual is in the US! I am suprised ebay doesn't take matters like this more seriously like I said before audiogon was very beneficial in getting my money back for one dead ead1000. I didn't take too well to be being screwed out of $700. I know this is kinda evil but I had 3 of my sellers email addreses work/home, also his work/home/cell phone numbers as well as physical addresses. I was giving him a last chance at resolution before I started operation SPAM SLAM. I configured a linux box with a couple modems to use calling cards to call his various phones at all hours with a script from a friend to do this randomly from 1am -6am all week skipping occasional days. The home addresses were going to be saturated with catalogues from various and sundry stores. You know how it is get on one fingerhut or porn list and pretty soon your mailbox falls off the house. As for his email addresses he was going to be lucky if he ever found an email meant for him. Fortunately he finally said he was sorry and sent me the money back as he had both the cdp and the money. Seller Beware! That was one experience out of many positive ones audiogon rocks~!
