| Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings Search “Leben tube chart” to get an idea of how flexible it can be. Beautiful amp. | |
| $7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant? I’d look at the big picture. If you can set your speakers up properly that’s a big plus. If you have one in a corner and another in a hallway, you might see tonal differences but don’t expect miracles. If you have great setup and amp you can hea... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Mrtennis coasters for my glasses. | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- If you use a higher efficiency speaker you can generally use a lower powered amp. In addition, some designs use less power and put off less heat. | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals Thanks tweak1 years ago I had a balanced air system and enjoyed it greatly. The balanced part never got a rise in my Levi’s, but it wasn’t the high end Ayre stuff either. I wonder if he’s modding those units! | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals mrdecibel, thanks for your Benchmark suggestion, I will add it to the list and have a look. I relate more to the sledge hammer game at the carnival. After you get enough of the form correct you can usually ring the bell. hilde45, I appreciat... | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals @hilde45Here's a little more than you asked for:I grew up in NJ with family in Manhattan so concerts and music venues were a constant for us (small clubs, indoor/outdoor arenas, small/medium bars, medium/large dance clubs, parks, etc.). My parent... | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals I appreciate the additional responses. Tvad- I've never heard of either of those pieces and will check them out. @hilde45, lol- married once, keep cars for 5+ years, still have the same wallet I was given 32 years ago for my 15th birthday. 2-3... | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals T_E_P, I had a Vac Avatar SE in around 2008 when the DeF Super 8 came out and I really enjoyed it, especially in triode mode. It paired very well with a pair of JM Reynaude Emeraudes too. I know you mentioned the Mk V, but would you recommend goi... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 Good timing for the completion of my new listening space and a possible upgrade to the larger O/96! I'm not holding my breath, because he keeps releases until he's convinced he can do no better. One of the reasons I have respect DeF.For those ... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 Prof, having owned various Devore speakers for over 12 years, with a dozen or more amps coming through my house in two systems (now one), I agree with you. Perhaps my point is better stated that- To me, the amp will define the sound you get from ... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 The magic of the Devore speaker comes out with careful matching of the amp and ancillary components. Much more so than the other speakers I've owned. You don't just throw an amp in your trunk and speed off with these. | |
| Detecting differences among cables Is there any way Tammy can create a category that holds all the pulled posts? They would lack context, but it would be so good. | |
| Integrated Tube Amps with Subwoofer out? You can use this for $40- Russound ADP−1.2 Speaker Level. I used this to run dual subs out of Leben amp. | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 To follow up, the Verity speakers are rather expensive- you can find a used Parsifal Encore for around $6-8k. The new Parsifals are over $20k. I'm in the Leben facebook group and the shl5 seems very popular among owners of the CS600 tube integrate... |
