| Preamp Deal of the Century Me,me,me! how does the phono preamp in the Chenin compare to a Wright phono preamp? i have the wright and am very fond of it. has anyone compared the two?I had the Wright WPP100C (see my sytem pics). It was "tubed" with Mullard 6ER5 and Telefunken... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century For the record, I too was dragged to "tube rolling" here regarding how much improvement you can benefit from it. In fact, I fired some of my recommendations as well while I am at it. But in all honesty, as I mentioned before trying to report about... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi John,Check your manual! It outlines the tube for the phono section. My Chenin have the 6922 and 6C4 tubes for the phono. The linestage tubes are the 6SN7's (or liestage output tubes). The 5881/6L6 are the regulators. The 5AR4 is the rectifier. ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Supra upper mids/lower treb? Are people always working on that part? Ken Rad black glass 6SN7's? Hmmmm....Has anyone listened to how Kondo deals w/ upper mids/lower treb while still maintaining dynamics?Not me!!!!IMO, this is too much to ask solel... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century My only disappointment is the amount of Âsweetness in the midrange, would like some more of that. Three questions for my Supratek bretheren;1) Any NOS tubes thatÂd exchange some bass response for more midrange sweetness?2) what would be an app... | |
| One hum problem solved, another remains I would recommend using a shielded cable from main preamp to the amp. Same is true for the phono input to preamp or through phono preamp to main preamp. | |
| First round of auditions disappointing Six channels will do, but 8 is preferred.I built my Orions, ASP, cables, and bought an amp for a whooping $3800 plus/minus $100 for the choice of wood finish you want. And that is a conservative figure. Let see, on the top of my head..Drivers........ | |
| First round of auditions disappointing I seem to gravitate towards two speaker designs, horn and planar. I loved my Logans and Magnepans, but they lacked punch and dynamics. I loved my Altec 19's, but they were far from being refined. I guess I'm looking for something that might not ex... | |

| Will I improve the qualitry of sound? Wow! Almost 3dB increase in power and no difference? What happened to better control, more headroom, less power supply strain, less chance of shifting the Q point of the transistor bias, less heat conduction from components, less power supply shar... | |

| HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers?? You can try small amount of car "Bug and Tar" remover. If the suface have several coats of"clear" applied as the last coat (more than likely), then you should not worry about damaging the finish. It also have wax in it to enhance the lustre after ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Just finished an extended listening session with the Chenin, and I'm very impressed, although I've only listened to the linestage so far. Very tight bass, lush mids, and extended highs. I wasn't expecting better bass from a tube preamp, but I cert... |
