| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Jewel - the shipping usually takes three or four days. I live in California (Silicon Valley - near San Francisco). The preamp arrived in the US at a port in Los Angeles CA via FedEx, then was shipped to Tennessee and then back to California fro... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Outlier - preamps seem to be more sensitive to tube quality than amplifiers. A tube which sounds perfect in an amp can squeak and be rather noisy in a preamp. Be aware of this when shopping. Ask the seller if they honor an exchange or refund if th... | |
| "Floating ground" and Electraglide Fat Man p. c.? Electraglide's power cord products are pretty amazing and are absolutely NOT simply an expensive cheater plug.Also - Electraglide is NOT the only high-end power cord manufacturer which floats the ground as a standard. While floating the ground on ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The Suprateks sound good when they are brand new but do in-fact get better over the first month or so. Also, the stock Zenith 6SN7 tubes Mick uses in the pre are not all that fantastic. NOS tubes make a significant improvement. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Asa, The "older" versions - like yours - actually did have transformers (or something) in the rear domes. The newer Suprateks do not. The new Suprateks are feather-weights and seem to respond well to the added mass. For example - without the da... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey! I've been on vacation from audio for a while since I am in the process of losing my job. I've been focusing on finding another job instead of spending time here - sorry.Its fantastic to return to the boards and learn that many of you will be ... | |
| Audionote 3.1x I've never listened to the 3.1x but I would expect far greater performance from that DAC than the DACs contained in the 1 box players you mention. Even lower end AudioNote DACs would be an improvement over the Heart, Prima, New Tube, or Keops. | |
| Sony SCDXA777ES vs Sony SCD1 ? IMHO, they are both very good and they are both very different. Some may prefer the sound of the SCD1 while others will certainly enjoy the XA777ES to a far greater degree.For those who never heard SACD before and listening to a SCD1 for the first... | |
| First Look - In DashTube Car Audio Whoops... Looks like I messed up the HTML code on this page when I added the shockwave file... Ahh...that should fix it. | |

| Krell KAV 250 A If you really enjoy Krell, another suggestion might be to rid yourself of the 300i and get a 500i. The 500 is a monster compared to the 300 and should power the Talons with ease. Once you get the 500i in your hands, you'll realize its a much diffe... | |
| Cardas Golden Referance XLR/IC's w/SS equipment Removing the fatigue factor and edge from solid state (or from systems in rooms with poor acoustics) is exactly what Cardas cables are good at. It is a very punchy cable - and quite fun to listen to. It will add weight and presence to solid state ... | |
| interconnect suggests under 300 used. Electrostaticman - it will most certainly help. I have NO doubt. The right interconnects (and power cords) bring about an amazing improvement in any system. In fact, I have been hesitant to state this in "public" but cables can make more of a diff... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Jewel - I used Adobe Photoshop to sketch the image. :) | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century What do you guys thik of something like this? A multi-channel Supratek (with phono). |
