| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? Closest to what you’re describing. 3.5w goes much further than you might think… https://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/p/mb1 | |
| 12au7 tube? I'm also going to test different 6sn7's. I already have a pair of Sylvania 6SN7GTB Chrome Tops and I'm getting a pair of Melz 1578's (which likely will take quite some time to arrive since they're coming from Ukraine). They're kind of on two diffe... | |
| Used tube preamps, Cary, AR, Aesthetix, Wells...........or? Balanced inputs/output isn’t really about gain, it’s the natural noise rejection due to positive/negative/ground. The lowered the noise floor, the more details you can hear (theoretically). This is one of the reasons recording studios are using ba... | |
| 12au7 tube? It's quite concerning hearing about the quality issues at Psvane. Grant Fidelity (premiumvaccumtubes.com) dropped them due to quality concerns/issues and are selling Linlai only. This makes it really difficult to find good 845 tubes for a futu... | |
| Cary SLP 98 vs Benchmark LA4 They're really very different... the Cary is definitely what I would call warm (but that doesn't mean that it obscures any details). The Benchmark is as stark neutral as it gets. | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound Good question raised by @larryi, why 3-way? This is one of the key attributes of the Heil design; the ability to cover a larger frequency span effectively negating the need for a 3-way (which makes it more challenging then a 2-way to blend all the... | |
| 12au7 tube? @marco1 The Radiotechnique's are likely made by Mazda... | |
| 12au7 tube? Thanks everyone. I have a bunch of tubes incoming. Radiotechnique, Genalex Gold Lion, Brimar, Amperex. | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound It does indeed exist: https://pureaudioproject.com/trio10-heil-amt-open-baffle-speakers/ | |
| 12au7 tube? I used Genalex Gold Lion in my previous preamp, so maybe those will tested. And the PSVANE are not overly expensive either, so I might as well toss them into the mix Greatly appreciate all the advice and knowledge!!! | |
| 12au7 tube? @mulveling I don't know about that assessment as the 12AU7 is used in the pre section of the integrated amp... you definitely need to it t be quite or you will amplify it | |
| OK Audiogon, help me out please That sounds like Sonus Faber | |
| Frank is gone. AVA lives on! Sad to hear the passing of Frank but glad to hear his legacy lives on | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? @decooney it was used, but I did talk to Pass Labs technical support and they were as stumped as me | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 to cornwall iv As silent as the Gryphon Diablo 300 is, you may still hear some background noise through super efficient speakers. This is from personal experience using this exact amp with a pair of Zu Audio Omen Def Supreme. No matter what I did, I always had a... |
