| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre Running all stock tubes except the RCAs of course. Ok stupid question.... the rectifier tube is the one in the power supply right? I will try replacing the rectifier and Sovteks. Ikkyu2 are the tubes your referring to NOS? | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre Well after some more hrs and different music with the RCAs I have come to the conclusion that they are superior to the EH in all areas except 1. Acoustic bass lacks focus at the bottom of the register with the RCAs. The bass does have more weight ... | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre I got the RCA 6SN7GT VT-231s. Ahhh much better. These tubes have transformed my system. Ecclectique the RCAs did exactly what you said they would. After a few hrs I do not hear any negative attributes. Only improvements pretty much across the boar... | |
| Upconvert DVD players for my system $500.00 Tosh HD DVD. Hangs with the best upconverting players, is cheap and you have the ability to play HD DVDs. If Tosh loses the hi def disk war you still have a great upconvert player for cheap. Its also a decent cd player with isolation under. | |

| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre Thanks goatwuss. I have done all measurments with spl meter and rives test tones. Ive been working on this for a long time and have narrowed it down to the pre. There is a dip in the upper bass region. I dont think its room related because it goes... | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre Ecclectique - I am running the stock tubes in the Chennin. I will have to check when I get home but I think they are Electro Harmonix (sp). I have followed the Supra threads a little and it seemed like lately people were just using stock tubes as ... | |

| Comparison of Thiel CS2.4 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig. I demoed both the Thiel and Vandys at a dealers showroom. To my ears in his room the Thiels were indeed more revealing but not pleasantly so. They also had a strange sounding bass. The bass was similar sounding to the base of the Soundlab U1s (som... | |
| Recommended HDMI DVD players for music and movies. The Oppo is a great unit for the price. Also it is very small/slim so if space is an issue then it will be a good choice. I had it in my system for a month until I got the Toshiba HD DVD. In my system the Toshiba is quite a bit better with SD DVD.... | |
| Recommended HDMI DVD players for music and movies. You dont mention a price range but I will throw this out there. Here come the flames. Do not let the format war scare you. Get a Toshiba HD DVD player! IMHO it does not matter who wins the format war or even if they both fail. For $500.00 you get ... | |
