Tube Preamps...I'm sold The demag device ran an audio waveform- not DC. | |
best preamp ever - cost is no object Hi Carlos, indeed I've seen a lot of studio-intended tube devices that take advantage of variable saturation and the like. I've also seen a lot of studio equipment in general- while studio gear in general is often built to a higher level physical ... | |
best preamp ever - cost is no object Carlos269, having serviced out a few Cellos in the past I was amazed at the poor parts quality. Yes, they are junk, nicely packaged and nicely built. With a price tag to throw you off.FWIW using a variety of NOS tubes to tailor sound is not merely... | |
best preamp ever - cost is no object Carlos269, one of the things that all tube equipment manufacturers face nowadays is that tube quality is nowhere near what it was 30-50 years ago! The EH tubes in the Einstein are a good example- nicely packaged but the tubes are microphonic, nois... | |
efficiency- hope i spelt that wright. Some of the issues regarding amplifier vs speaker selection are discussed here:http://www.atma-sphere.com/papers/paradigm_paper2.htmlMy own feeling is that if the efficiency of the speaker does not interfere with the revealing nature of the speake... | |
tube pre suggestion Take a look on the Audio Horizons threads. I don't think you can beat their preamps, and you get to try them for free.Of course you can beat them! But they are a great deal for the money. | |
Tube Preamps...I'm sold We are working on a mechanical system for advancing the control... | |
Tube Preamps...I'm sold Hi Sounds_real_audio, Not balanced though, balanced means more circuitry which is what you don't like about solid state.This statement is not correct. Balanced differential circuitry will not give the signal anymore complexity than single-ended if... | |
Tube Preamps...I'm sold Thanks Jafox, for the explanation. The last I had heard, BAT was being handled by an outfit called Great Plains Audio, but googling them got a place in Oklahoma.I've not had anyone describe the MP-3 as rolled off; I am guessing that something was ... | |
Tube Preamps...I'm sold On second thought, the BAT dealer went out of business here some years back, before the 31SE came out. Our local dealer doesn't ship outside his area. So how did you do this audition comparison? | |
Tube Preamps...I'm sold Hi Jafox- must be that tube issue :)FWIW, on the bench, the MP-3 has bandwidth from 1Hz to 400KHz in the line section- quite a bit wider than that of any BAT that we've seen. The MP-1 has similar bandwidth, but has a lot more authority. | |
New monoblocs for Maxx II, which ones The speaker is tube friendly. So you have a wide range of amplifiers that will work with the Maxx IIs. | |
Triplanar Question?? I set the antiskating weight so that the outside edge is lined up just shy of the the second mark, since I'm tracking very nearly 2 grams. It seems to work OK. Near the end of a blank LP, it holds its own.Now that I look at it though, I can't say ... | |
Tube Preamps...I'm sold Got it!I know Albert, who posts a lot here, will agree. He might spend days sorting out the right tube for each position in his preamps.Certain things are not going to change though, for example, what a preamp is doing if it is designed with feedb... | |
Tube Preamps...I'm sold Hi Bart, I don't agree with you. Although our preamps are clearly affected by the tube choice, it is also evident that the preamp performs in a certain way- for example I can state with no qualms that our preamp plays the bottom octave better than... |
