Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions @mr_m I used Brimar CV4003 from upscale audio in the RP-1. I think these and your mullards are essentially the same tubes. Very nice improvement but the Gold Lions aren’t too far behind | |
Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u You’re welcome. You can configure “Processor” through the Ref’s menu and assign any input to it. Keep in mind Ref will turn that input into unity gain so HT processor is all you want to have hanging off that input. | |
Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u @garynospamm …Ref 6 SE does have a processor feature but the Ref must be powered on to utilize it. If you use your HT a lot, using Ref in that system would just result you in shortening tube life by running the unit unnecessarily. | |
Your experiences with system synergy Also what is this mystery amp? | |
Your experiences with system synergy @bluethinker I would allow 24hrs for the amp to settle if it’s used with over 200hrs on it. If it’s new then give it around 200hrs. Don’t jump to conclusions too soon and don’t do a quick A/B comparison. Get used to it for few days then switch bac... | |
Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions Congrats! Keep us posted! | |
Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u @ghdprentice LOL I’m sure. I’m enjoying a Ref 6 now paired with my X260.8 monos, courtesy of my buddy who let me play with it for a week. Sweet combo! | |
Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions Nice!!! Yes I think this is the best move to upgrade the sound quality. The DAC in the node is not terrible at all. Yes you can do better but not with $1000 As to RP-1, it doesn’t run hot. There’s a little “window” above the two 12AU7 tubes. On... | |
Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u @garynospamm if you end up with Pass Labs amplifier, consider Audio Research Ref 5SE or Ref 6 in your price range. Audio Research tube preamps pair extremely well with Pass Labs amps. Speaking from personal experience. | |
Dan D'Agostino S250 MxV enough power for Wilson Audio Alexia V Send the Dag to Amir. Have him measure it and report back. | |
Reliable source for 6550WE tube - Audio Research Ref 6 @mulveling thanks! I’ll continue to research. | |
Reliable source for 6550WE tube - Audio Research Ref 6 Thanks guys!!! | |
Reliable source for 6550WE tube - Audio Research Ref 6 I’m going to give ARC a call tomorrow..but… What is the difference between Sovtek 6550WE, Svetlana 6550C and the Electro-Harmonics 6550EH? Does anyone know if the 6550EH is compliant? | |
Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u Impedance is fine. | |
Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u @garynospamm I’ll chime in and I’m sure @yoyoyaya will as well… few things to consider - 1. The input impedance of the amplifier should be at least 10x the output impedance of the preamplifier. 2. The amplifier input sensitivity and gain - pai... |
