| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Tbg, whose the one who can't stop chirping? No, no, no ain't "malice" - which was my original post, followed by your "stupid" comment. Which I don't think is malicious either, just rudeness. I tried to let it go for both of us, but...I have a bett... | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Tbg, you sound like my 18 yr old when he wants something and can't get it! I'm not looking for an apology from you. Why would I ask for something that I don't care about and you certainly would never offer? That would just be drama - but you know ... | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Tvad, really. Two fingers here. I think its inane to do that kind of stuff. Actually, I don't know what t-bagging is. You're right, though, I should have read it through to get that out of there. | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? My God, "Tbag," deliberate? Never even entered my mind. What's a "tbag" supposed to mean? It wasn't purposeful, but, amusingly, I find it symptomatic that you would think so."Merely suggested"? For those of you who want to gauge the authenticity o... | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Tbg, when you refer to me as "Ass" instead of Asa, is that a typo, or did you mean it to be added to calling me "stupid" and uneducated also?In addition to a law degree, I have two masters from the London School of Economics, but I don't think for... | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Still waiting...Anonymity is the Hobgobblin of small minds. | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, O holter, understood. My apologies. So, then, what about that MA-1?! | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Why, Tbag, what do you mean? | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi, good luck on the Arro's - good choice. I second what nonothing says on the Music Hall electronics for you down the road. Or, look at a Creek line, or the Naim Nait 5 ($1500 new), for integrateds. You could let loose the PS Audio for a coupl... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Yep, its the load, impedance-wise on the 2+2's. I should have been clearer. When I talk here about driving a speaker, I tend to talk about impedance/sensitivity together, until I'm absolutely forced to talk about technicals. BTW, I still liked the... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Hey Ralph, didn't mean to talk down the resale marketability of your OTL's. Hyperbole is a bitch, but then again it is a thread, right? On you MA-1's: I agree, nice amps, great amps, actually. And, yes, they always find a good home, in relatively ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi, thanks for listing your system. I had Vandy 1B's when I was in college many, many moons ago. I think the Music Hall Cd was a good choice and you've got the Sota so your front end is ready to go. The problem will be the circa 80's PS Audio. ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Well, guys, if he likes Totem (and I do too) I don't think mating Triangles with a SS PS Audio amp is such a good idea. If it was me, and I know no one is asking, I'd dump the PS Audio pronto and get a PrimaLuna 70W KT88 based integrated, mate tha... | |
| Is the magic in shindo or verity? Easy answer: The Shindo...Rchau: Shindo pre to Cortese...my condolences. | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Yea, the MA-1's are great, but I hate moving a guy into that many tubes if I don't know him better; as in, can he handle the maintenance and pain-in-the-arse resale. There are some good comments above. Yea, again, the RM-200 is a great amp and no ... |
