| yet another tube preamp recommendation thread Last call for those tube linestage gems ! ~ 4.5 K or so- Transparency, timbre and holographic soundstage Thanks | |
| Sonus Faber sonetto II vs Harbeth 7ES-3 I had the Harbeths for almost 3 years and upgraded within the Harbeth line.The C7ES3 are exquisite speakers- rich with an excellent midrange and eerily smooth with an overall forgiveness that makes everything sound great. Imaging, sound stage an... | |
| yet another tube preamp recommendation thread thanks to all so far. i am asking for preamps in the range of the cary slp98 up to the primaluna evo 4000/ rogue audio rp-7 or so, this is a rather specific price range. i have heard of these preamps before but never had a chance to listen to the ... | |
| Leave tube amps always on? On the LTA website it mentions that they drive the tubes with 1/3 of the amount of current that typical tube amps use which is part of the recommendation.Also many believe that tube life is shortened because of multiple power up / power down cycle... | |
| Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off? i find that with the grilles on they sometimes have some weird / subtle sounding interactions that sound like comb filtering. grilles off the sound is smoother and cleaner. | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice I have owned Rogue Audio tube amp products for almost 5 years and find they deliver a sound that I prefer. I started with a Cronus Magnum II - KT120 power tubes delivering 100 WPC. It gave me a sound that I really enjoyed over just about every oth... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? OP,is that an EVO 100? | |
| Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off? grilles off on c7e3s especially and now shl5+. went back and forth many many times but the grilles do not stay on very long. they do sound a little bit brighter but in a good way but the dynamics are significantly improved. | |
| Subwoofer Recommendation for Harbeth SHL5+ i picked 2 REL t9i. best subs for audiophile quality music i have owned and heard. integrated perfectly, does not color the midrange and flat down to 20 hz room response. plenty of power despite the power ratings. | |
| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance The XI will sound less warm, more transparent and neutral. Even in this video you can hear the difference. I owned the 9 for a few years and loved it. works best with a low mass arm e.g. 9 grams or so. - your tonearm will work better with the XI. ... | |
| Looking for ideas on Lyra Delos - muddy middle unfortunately your turntable and most suspended tables have a warm imprint on the sound. as others have suggested try different cables, i really like the nordost purple flare between table and phono preamp, will be very neutral and detailed. als... | |
| the dB/octave specification of the crossover? it really depends on the drivers involved. a blend between a woofer and tweeter needs to "sum" to fill in the frequencies through the crossover range. if both drivers are cut off sharply at the crossover frequency that missing summing could come... | |
| Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III I heard them paired with a McIntosh integrated and the sound was excellent. I suspect the mellow sound of the Mac tamed some brightness that some find | |
| Decoupling Speakers the only reason to decouple is if something is being excited by vibration and it becomes audible. your floor is being excited but it is massive and solid enough not to be audible. your stands are also high mass and rigid and doubtful they are bei... | |
| AT-ART9 cartridge on Marantz TT-15s1 - I don't think I'm getting the performance I should Have you tried turning off the anti-skate to see if that is the problem? Have you used a bubble level on the flat part of the tonearm headshell? The ART9 is sensitive to VTA. Level the platter with the bubble level and then check the level of t... |
