Coytee Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks for coming clean. I figured it was bullshit. It wasn't [bs], I've never lied here. I know you won't belive it and that's ok by me. That is your issue & not mine [] Perhaps simply a matter of one person's tomato being another persons tomatoe. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well, you did say "This person told me they sold their VRD's and unfortunately I do not recall (nor do I even recall having asked) what they replaced them with." When I tell people what I replaced mine with I get, "Moron, imbecile, idiot!" I guess they want me choose, I don't think I can be all three at the same time.

I just want to know for my benefit the name of amps I should be looking at which are superior to VRD's for less money. Help a fellow forum brother out to save money and achieve sonic bliss.

Deang Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I just want to know for my benefit the name of amps I should be looking at which are superior to VRD's for less money. The argument becomes nonsensical if one accepts that when you get to a certain level of quality, things are just more different than "better". When someone tells you that something sounds "better", it's really useless information -- it doesn't tell you anything except the person had a preference for one thing over another. With that said, it's very possible for someone to stumble into something that costs less money and sounds "better" to them than a pair of no holds barred KT-88 push-pull amps. I would have to say though, it wouldn't be for that much less money -- I don't see it happening for less than $1500. If you want both quantity and quality of power -- you're going to have to pay a bit for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 What do guys think of the x-ray, it's for real. I was checking out nail guns and ran across a medical journal article about nail gun accidents -- is that messed up or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want both quantity and quality of power -- you're going to have to pay a bit for it. Talking new? Little out there. Vintage? Eico was arguably superior to anything Dynaco offered. Used? There are a few amps. Regarding a stock Eico (competing against Mark III's): This amp is truly one of the best vintage tube stereo units, with a balanced sound throughout the musical spectrum. Bass is nothing short of spectacular, with mids and highs that are sweet and detailed. Regarding an HF-81: The EICO HF-81 performs best when mated to speakers that are easy or moderately easy to drive, and is readily available on eBay for $300$800. Toss in a full restoration, and for well under $2000, the HF-81 can beat the pants off many amps and shame the SETs at their own game. If sheer volume isn't your only criteria...

barrynsue Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Pete, My thoughts too! No one could be stupid enough to SIX nails into someones head by "accident"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Yea really I could see getting nailed once but 4, 5 or 6 times...........something fishy going! Especially when you factor in that the nail gun has to be pressed hard into an object to release the safety to allow you to pull the trigger. I own a full compliment of both gas and air operated nail guns from my construction day's. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was checking out nail guns and ran across a medical journal article about nail gun accidents -- is that messed up or what. Just this week I had to drain the puss from some guys scrotum. Just before we took him back to the OR table, The opthamologist stopped us and asked if he could take a guy back to the OR first with a nail in his eye. I said NO. Maybe that will change the direction of this thread. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
