| Aric Audio and my system @evank very cool, I'm glad you saw it! @ozzy62 thank you, much appreciated! And many thanks for the kind words from everyone that's contributed to this thread. Best, Aric | |
| Aric Audio and my system @evank here is the review of the Super 6SN7 that was posted on StereoTimes website this morning if you wanted to have a read. https://www.stereotimes.com/post/aric-audio-super-6sn7-linestage-preamplifier-by-mike-wright/?fbclid=IwAR0k-ha-qWzaz8rKk... | |
| Aric Audio and my system Thanks! I had several conversations with the reviewer throughout the process and unless I had a terrible read, he absolutely loved the preamp as well as had groups of audiophiles over to listen and compare. Once in awhile, as Earthbound said, I do... | |
| Aric Audio and my system @evank I actually did, about 6 days ago and it sold within 4 hours. Mike Wright from Stereo Times just submitted his review of the same to Clement Perry and now I'm waiting on the review to be published. | |
| Aric Audio and my system Hey, Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad you’re enjoying your system. On the Super 6SN7 upgrades, we went with Jupiter copper foil coupling caps instead of the Miflex, and the Khozmo motorized remote over the relay based. These added a touch mo... | |
| Aric Audio @subterranean6 Thanks for the follow up, and I'm glad you're enjoying your Transcend MM phono! @theflattire Yes, I will keep the MM only stage and have a separate MM/MC stage available. Best, Aric | |
| Aric Audio Thanks for the question. I have the Transcend push-pull amplifier back from review as of last week, but the review itself is currently being written. I imagine it will be a month or so before it is out in print, however I don’t know for sure. The... | |
| Aric Audio @fthompson251 Much appreciated! | |
| Aric Audio I want to thank everyone for their kind words and for trusting me to build their audio equipment for them. It’s really great to be able to do this as a full time gig and pursue my passion. I also wanted to chime in on a couple of the products ment... | |
| LessLoss Echos End Hey Charles, In this case it wouldn’t hurt anything as the Super 6SN7 Linestage has a selectable output level control to gain match with the amp so the gain could be reduced at the output. Also the Khozmo volume control is an audio taper so it doe... | |
| LessLoss Echos End @earthbound I just wanted to point out that 5.8 volts out of a balanced DAC will work just fine with your Super 6SN7 Linestage balanced inputs. The Jensen transformers can handle up to 8-9 volts without any rolloff. I just didn't want you to limit... | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp @stereo5 You're very welcome man, and I wish you the best of luck! | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp @speedthrills The customer's budget was observed when I replied, and I do custom work to fit budget and feature requirements. While what you stated would seem logical, it doesn't hurt to send an inquiry and find out for sure! Best regards, Aric | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp @stereo5 You're welcome, and thank you as well. Yes, as I had mentioned above the Super KT88/120 can be outfitted with additional inputs and a volume control and when used with 6SL7 Input tubes, can be driven to full output directly from a source.... | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp True SETs (single-ended triode) amps cannot do 20-40 watts unless they’re big transmitter tubes such as the 211 or 845 and they use over 1,100 volts. An SEP (single ended pentode), running in ultra-linear or triode mode can get 20 watts per channe... |
