| Advice for high end tube preamp for ss amp HELP First Sound Presence Deluxe II....superb with precision detail, construction like a tank, 6 inputs, with the hotrod version, 1 input, but signal directly heated to the tubes. Just two 6922 tubes to worry about, tube rolling on the cheap. Upgradabi... | |
| Which Preamp would match my system? A nice tidbit of information from AudioCircle about the Rogue 99.....so I do not get harrased by biased Rogue Preamp owners!Mad DOgJoined: 22 Jan 2003Posts: 903Location: San Diego/Riverside County Wed Oct 06, 2004 9:31 am -------------------------... | |
| Which Preamp would match my system? Would vouch for a high quality tubed preamp such as First Sound Presence or a Bat, with the super tubes. Honestly, for the type of system I personally feel that the Rogue would bring the level down a notch. There are some Rogue users out there but... | |
| Limited budget-spend more money on amp or preamp? Sumo Athena class A driver stage, older, but with passive and active modes. Even has a phono section to boot. Around $150- I own one. | |
| Tubes for Counterpoint 3 That is an Eastern European tube brand. Sort of new, considered by many tubophiles as not very good, therefore, not mentioned in any of those specialty tube threads. These tubes you mention, are old production American or Western European tubes. I... | |
| Tube Suggestions 6922 4 pathos Classic one Pardon my ignorance, but it is the first time I hear that instead of the 6922, a 6H23 tube can be used. What is the origin of this tube, I mean, what manufacturer and date can be considered NOS....the first time I heard of this tube is that it was... | |
| The new 47 Labs fullrange monitors I have heard from someone, I think was it in AudioAsylum or was it AudioCircle that a dealer had brought them over for a listening session...they were small, physically speaking and the comment on the sonics of it were that "it was not impressive"... | |
| Sim 4250SE vs. McCormack DNA 225 for Gershmans I have the X-1 along with the SW-1s paired with a DNA 225. Very punch and accurate presentation...I doubt that the older Sim model can hold much of a candle to the DNA. Yes, Gershman sound is warm and to balance that out, the DNA will be an excell... | |
| Serious problem with Electrocompaniet ECI-3 I had an Audio Refinement Complete, remote controlled and it developed a really annoying buzz after not even having been used much. It turned on and then suddenly, shut down. I sent the piece to the distributor and they thought that I was abusing ... | |
| Turn on popping noise. That model Creek did have a turn on popping sound that will make your speakers jump a bit, nothing that will damage it, but still sonically noticeable. Many integrated manufacturers favor that thumping feature as it is something that they cannot r... | |
| connecting a turntable to a Levinson preamp n.28 You can connect any ordinary cartridge preamp to any of the regular line inputs, but it seems to me that the preamp also has a input for its own phono device....You might gain one extra input if you choose this route. Nevertheless, if it an older ... | |
| Red Rose : quality drain? That might be an overstatement. Some US manufacturers do make things in the US, but the whole idea of "Made in the USA" label, has a lot to do with manufacturing or "putting" things together in the US. For example, there are plenty of components u... | |
| Backup music from IPOD to PC or Mac Wow, is impressive that one of the oldest free MP3 players in the net can do such service. Did you detect any problems with certain tracks or degradation in anyway? | |
| Mcintosh-Bad customer service? Most of the companies that are in high end do not honor or do "transfer" warranties to the new owner. The very few that used to do it, no longer do so. You have to look at the McIntosh case of not willing to honor a warranty for someone beyond the... | |
| Red Rose : quality drain? A tough question that most obviously will make the management of companies say "of course, they produce the best product and the benefits of the production cost both favor you the discerning consumer and us, the company." To be honest, I have seen... |
