| It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp. I would have said a year ago that your best choice would have been to go used (Thor, Supratek, ARC, older CJ etc.)This could be the golden age of inexpensive preamp! The rhumba, the Line Magnetcs Micro zotl2, the new Modwright, even the Pass headp... | |
| 12" Tannoy Red. Worth anything? Yes they are valuable. Go to eBay for more info. | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket Mofojo, There are a couple of pairs of Double Impacts in Northwest Indiana (basically a suburb of Chicago) and I am sure you could hear them there also. It is quite interesting that as the main line manufacturers of audio gear cater... | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket Mofojo, I only have 10 times as many posts as you! LOL | |
| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? Look at the Linear Tube MicroZOTL2 used as a preamp (it is also a headphone amp.) I just took home a demo and it is amazing. It is the David Berning design. The tonality and imaging is amazing. It compares favorably to preamps above your budget le... | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket Sorry for the late response, it has been a long week. I do not know if the speakers would work in your room. You should call the manufacture. I am not buying the speakers because I am not in the market for speakers and have Beveridge electrostat... | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket I have heard the Double Impacts with two audio reviewers and they are amazing! You cannot do better for the money. If they were a traditional audio brand they would be $30.000 at least! If you have the room for such large speakers don't think twic... | |
| Best value in pre-owned preamps right now? This one is easy. The Linear Tube MicroZOTL 2 used as a preamp it is a knockout! It is also a headphone amp. Friends of mine were raving about it so I took a demo home and I don't want to give it back! Really that good. I have had ARC ref 5 and CJ... | |
| Scientific Fidelity Crowne Joule 24k Signatures I have Scientific Fidelity Teslas as back up speakers. They image like crazy but lack a little color. They sound a bit gray. Bass is not their strong suit but a very competent speaker. From what I heard Maloney got a terrible hatchet job by Stere... | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? Lance, a friend who is a reviewer has that combination and it is quite good. | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? I use Beveridge model 2's. They are direct drive with their own OTL amps. Not all preamps play well with the amps and speakers. My two favorites are the CJ Art 3 and now the MicroZOTL. | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? I did get the Linear power supply with remote and extra input. I have some great 6sn7 and 12at7 and they take this unit to completely different level. I listened with the stock tubes and couldn't imagine it being better but the unit is even more ... | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? Demoing the MicroZOTL 2 as a preamp and it is fantastic! I have had Audio Research Reference 5 and CJ Art 3. This gives up nothing to these far more expensive pieces! | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations Just got my Belden 8402's today in 20 foot runs for Beveridges Electrostats and they are lovely! Thank you Jeff Day! As one who has been underwhelmed by many cables these sound like music to my ears. | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? The Lawrence Audio speakers are an incredible match for the Linear Tube separates. See Terry London's review in Home Theater Review. He uses this combo. |
