Preamp Deal of the Century
Jphii, the Syrah, Chardonnay and Chenin have a rectifier on the power supply & that's it, no regulators.When I first saw Grannyring's pre, I thought it might be a Cortese power supply hooked to a Syrah - but Grannyring informed me otherwise.I ...

Another Integra Blooper regarding the green pixels when video is of a black screen can be found here User: MattepntrI guess my point Greg is that you wrote that the Onkyo is a flawless machine in a post above. At the time I thought you were postin...

No problems on the Onkyo/Integra? Sure. Anyhow, I like this guys reply to you (you go by Greg T) on Audio Asylum Joe Murphy JR He brings up some major problems with the Onkyo. He seems to be rather well informed.What about the guy who had his lock...

Bummer - I couldn't find the comparison. On AVS, I noticed you've had 17 DVD players over a bit of time - that's very impressive and your knowledge is appreciated.The Macroblocking thing: This seems weird to me because if it truly is the result of...

Looks like some people on AVS are having trouble with the Onkyo too. "head and toe room" clipping bug (whatever that is) - HDMI output not functioning.User "PooperScooper" who likes the Onkyo & returned it will re-buy it when they fix the HDMI...

Ears - The folks on Audiogon are audiophiles whereas and the folks on AVS (bless their hearts) are not. I believe they are more or less videophiles. So...their comments as they pertain to audio, are taken with a grain of salt. On this site, the ex...

Ears - interesting. I've read the AVS Forum and found mostly stuff like this:The 3910 seems to be different though. I tested the 480P output on my plasma using chapter 22 of A Bug's Life. If a player has the MB issue, it is readily apparent in thi... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Ecclectique - to break in the Bendix, I ran my Cortese power supply 24/7 for about a month without turning it off except to re-connect the Preamp for listening sessions. At first the Bendix seemed almost out of phase and disorienting. I hated that... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Cello - Thanks for the info. I've purchased many tubes from Brendan - including the Bendix I use now. I'll give the Mullard metal base GZ34 another try with the 350B's as soon as I can find one. Unfortunately, last time the metal base GZ34 didn't ...

Uva - To me there is no question that the SA-1 is far superior in all regards to the SA-14. For someone to prefer the sound of the SA-14 to the SA-1 would be like someone preferring a McDonalds Hamburger patty to Prime Rib. I guess its possible.I ... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Hi Cello - Hopefully I'll be around to buy them from you.Just curious, what rectifier tube are you using with the 350B's? I'm still stuck on the Bendix 6106 - it was weird sounding and almost nauseating when I first started using it but after a fe...

Hi Sean - Originally I had intended to buy a 2900 to have it modified by John Tucker but... I am really, really tired of getting the "best" player only to have it superceded by the next best thing. So... I went for the 3910 knowing that John Tucke...

Hi Srama - you might give the 3910 a try if you can negotiate an in-home demo.
