| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers Wow. The Finale/triode amps are beautiful. | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers That still does not explain the loud hiss and buzz thru headphones. If the amo comes back with everything “ok”, ill just sell it and move on | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers You can hear the hiss on the video at link below. The hiss is much louder in person. The phone mic is quite sensative to overall environment. Thus, the overall video sounds a bit hissy. You’ll want to listen closely in a quiet areahttps://www.drop... | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers Yes, the First watts have got my attention. Plus, they supply a great low end wheras the pre can add smoothness to highs and mids. The RP-5 did sound great ontop of all the freaking hiss. I took an iphone video of me muting and unmuting the preamp... | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers I've got both Decware and Quicksilver Horn Monos. The Quicksilvers are really dead quiet amps and they sound superb. They'd be a great match in your setup. Which do you prefer and what are the sound charactoristics of each? | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers Well, I did some more testing. I have a defective pre-amp. I had time to kill. I went and purchased some new JJ 12au7's and the loud Hiss is still audible from back of room. Another audiophile from another forum told me that, even with my amp's ga... | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers Thanks for the kingko link. I would have never found unless I posted here | |
| Choices narrowed Rogue RP-1 and Primaluna Prologue Premium Preamps Mine sounds great...HOWEVER...my Nuforce amp has high gain along with my 101db efficient ZU speakers, the hiss is really loud. You can hear in back of room (I talked to Rogue). I'm attaching some attenuators tomorrow hoping to tame the gain until ... | |

I have a Reflection Integrated MK2 tube amp that is a thing of beauty and outstanding power and sound. I actually have it as a show piece a... | |
| Choices narrowed Rogue RP-1 and Primaluna Prologue Premium Preamps Well...My new Pre-amp is on it's way. A silverface RP-5. I will receive tomorrow. I figure I might as well spring for a super nice pre. I'll report back once I get up and going | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? The Primalunas, without cages, are great looking. I wsh quicksilver’s preamps looked as good as their power amps | |
| How important is component “aesthetics” to you? I love VU meters | |
| Which Preamp "internals" would you choose? Based on picture only The Pro-ject just seems more airy and wide. However, that may be due to the dac sounding better. I have been in contact waith a rigue dealer hoping to find a nice used Magnum 99 | |
| Esoteric Support - nonexistent??? Gee for the price of their stuff one would think you could get a hold of them Maybe try to see if Teac has adifferent customer service number | |
| Seller suspended from Audiogon... I believe he sold one of the other components he had listed a short time before. Probably didn't get delivered or no response and got reported. Apparently, from the response I got, AG were told of his passing. |
