| A Copernican View of the Turntable System @halcro Hi Ralph,I've noticed that both you and J.Carr have recently 'transferred' over to 'The Dark Side' by adopting the new Technics SL1200 DD turntable over your previously loved belt-drives.The Empire in your case and the Final Labs and big... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Posting no model prices? Why not? One reason is that many manufacturers have an export market. The problem with that is many countries have import duty, some of which are excessive. Tack on top of that shipping cost, and in the days of the interne... | |
| Two preamps are available.... The "factory refurbished" really doesn't mean anything. They usually just do a full test and don't repair anything. You will have a limited warranty, however.This statement is often false. For example, if we have updated one of our preamps it ... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps Actually that rule of thumb is 10:1. So if your output impedance is 500 ohms you should be able to drive 5000 ohms. There is a complication with many tube preamps, which is the size of the coupling capacitor at the output. The issue is that to dri... | |
| What to drive Soundlab Prima speakers with? Thanks! The first thing I would do is contact Sound Lab and see if there is an updated backplate for the speaker. If so its likely that the new backplate will make the speaker a lot easier to drive and will widen the available amplifier candidates... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps ^^ Something else :) | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The Herzan has been integrated in my system for 6 months now, and not only is it the final 'piece' of the jigsaw for the 'Copernican' puzzle.....but it singularly is the most significant contributor to the elimination of 'distortions' and the el... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp @glory it certainly seems worth a shot! Very interesting speaker BTW. | |
| What to drive Soundlab Prima speakers with? Sound Labs have often been the match made in heaven with OTLs. The Prima is a model I've not heard of- its not on their website. Can you tell me more about it? | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps @audioconnection anyone who is running a tube PRE amp into a low input impedance amp should be alert that they won’t achieve bliss.Just a FWIW, we make two balanced tube preamps and both can drive 10K no worries. They have a direct-coupled output ... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? @blindjim How well do they play stuff like Brian Setzer, Gordon Goodwin, Basie, big band blues, multi piece bands in general?This begs the point then, exactly what musical genre is not served well by SET amps and High Eff speakers, if any?Amps and... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations? I am 100% with Atmashphere on this one. A 6SN7 pre amp can be very detailed it depends on what amp its going into, the quality of the pre and of course the 6SN7s themselves which come in many flavors.There is a reason that 6SN7s are known for ... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? @blindjim I’m simply hard pressed to accept the fact a Triode amp even with nice horns will kick out the jams quite like amps I have become accustomed to hearing with far more horsepower and point source speakers of standard varieties, within ... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations please to partner with Parasound JC-1's.... @gerryn different panel finishes are available- anodized black, silver and gold. |
