| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? I think this one looks pretty nice: | |
| Metronome Labs: can I get at least one post Tweekerman - the thing with the Theta Data II (or EAD T1000 - they are virtually the same) is its a Laser Disk tranport. It has a HUGE clamp that puts a lot of pressure on a CD. the Clamp was designed to securely hold a Laserdisk and when it gets ... | |
| Metronome Labs: can I get at least one post Hey Tweekerman! I've never listened to any of the Metronome products but I would imagine they are top players. The idea that something is equal to an amount of money in better sound is quite relative. To some people a particular player just might ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The Supratek preamps are pretty light. Therefore isolation with the usual spikes can be pretty difficult, not to mention the tube microphonics and noise you can experience with a light chassis preamp and a pair of old 6SN7's sitting on a hard surf... | |
| Methods for transfer of albums to CD Not sure if anyone else mentioned this but I believe this is a task which the tubed ART DI\O was intended to do. Many "audiophiles" have been buying these for under 200 and modifying them to perform in their systems as DAC's. However the product w... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Rmml, you're welcome - and CONGRATULATIONS! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Rmml, Hopefully by then, I will have had the new remote control installed in my Supratek. Like I said the source of the PC board is a company in Italy - it appears to be the best board available. Once we install and test Mick will find out (since ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century In my experience ARC preamps are not the be-all end-all of tube equipment in general - (the amps are better than their preamps though). Their preamps are very thin sounding, sterile and can be down right schreechy!The Supratek shouldn't even be lo... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The preamp comes in single ended ONLY! However Mick will agree to providing XLR outputs (whether it is truly balanced output I do not know - and doubt it). In my experience, Mick does not know which XLR connectors should be used on the OUTPUT side... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Smw30yahoocom - The preamp does not come stock with a remote volume control. But it can be ordered. This is a GOOD OPTION. On my first preamp from Mick, he implemented the remote flawlessly!!! The second time around it had a few issues which turne... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Rmml - you're welcome. You might talk to Mick about it. He is pretty stubborn and may try to do the Cinema By-Pass anyway. For instance. My first preamp was ordered with XLR outputs & Mick put on the wrong connectors (he put the input side of ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Uh... I ordered my first preamp with a home theater pass through (this was Mick's first attempt at doing this custom option)...Mick didn't quite get it right and as a result, my preamp was a bit flakey - and as I have learned recently, not up to t... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Hey Thanks Tweekerman!! Guess what?? Well, I sold my Audiomeca Keops. I thought it would take a long time to sell but - as it turns out it didn't. The person who purchased it is certainly enjoying a fantastic player.Anyhow, what I wanted to tell y... | |
