That was me, and thank you for the reply. I've got a good supply of high quality Japanese bulk cable, but my contact in Japan has since moved back to the states....so no joy there anymore.
Suggestions for a holographic preamp?
I'm looking to replacing my Herron Audio tube line stage with something else, not because of a problem with the sound, but for a few other reasons.
I do both digital and analog, and have a Herron Audio tube phono preamp. My power amp is an MSB S-200, which is awesome, and my speakers are Marten Parker Duos, which are wonderful for a deep, holographic soundstage that I like so much.
I listen mostly to rock and reggae, and I'm looking to keep the price under $10K US, and I'm fine with a used one as well.
I get the feeling that I will need a tube preamp to get that holographic sound, but perhaps there are some SS ones that do as good a job?
The fellow I work with at The Music Room suggested a ModWright LS-100 or a used PS Audio BHK preamp; I've researched and they both look like they'd fit the bill, but I'd like to hear your suggestions, too!

@vthokie83 I have failed to find D. U. C. C as a Wire Only. I have found a 7N Stress Free Wire but was not convinced it was D. U. C. C. I also once found a PC Triple C Wire as a Single 0.08mm. Coil Winding on a MC is typically 0.03mm

if you are using TMR with some credit and cash, then do not hesitate to watch the Viola Labs Cresendo they have keep dropping in price and snag it. It already represents a great value at the current price which is 1500 down from where it started months and months ago and is less than 25 cents on the dollar vs retail. it might seem daunting to get it set up properly but I can assist there with the correct config file for the sn of that unit and the correct software. You would also need to grab an old 2.4G router to get it connected to the app for control. Not sure if that ipod included still works but if so, awesome, but I just use my phone. As for the sound...it is beyond spectacular. Truly. |
@seasidelps - thank you for that recommendation; I'd not heard of Viola Labs before and I looked them up; fascinating stuff, and I've no doubt that this is as good as you say it is, and $4500 or so for something that listed for $22K is great value, but I've also got to consider resale value, so I'll be sticking to some still relatively obscure but better known brands, and ones that don't need an iPod and 2.4G router! Hopefully some other people might see this recommendation and look into that at TMR. |
