| Aric Audio Super 6sn7 Linestage Aric is great to work with and his stuff is great! I have the Motherload2 and his kt88 single ended amp. Both are amazing! | |
| In house for review: AricAudio's Super 300B SET amplifier & Western Electric 300B tubes I just got a used Kt 88se amp of Aric’s to go along with my Motherload 2 preamp.Wow! This amp has a sound I would describe as exquisite. Just a beautiful sound! I did comparisons with my First Watt F3, Pass XA25, VRD kt88, and Aric’s. For me, ... | |
| Which amp would you choose and why - Pass Labs XA-25 or First Watt F8? I have the xa25, much more powerful than its rated 25w, especially at 4 ohm dips. I have an F3 which sounds glorious, but not near as powerful. I’d love to hear people give their perspective on the F8. | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night It’s been a while since I hooked up my Motherload 2. It is amazing! I can only compare it to 3 other preamps,NBS 6h30. ML is as linear and dynamic, but somehow softer(?) natural(?)Primaluna Diologue. ML provides greater separation, clarity.Pas... | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Aric Audio Motherload at just under 5k. 6SN7, dead quiet, variable gain. Very good with my Pass xa25 | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night Just ordered a Motherload 2 from Aric. Obviously can’t comment on sound quality yet, but he has been great to deal with. Extremely responsive to my many emails, both before and after purchase! Customer service as good as I’ve ever seen. Ted | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else I recently tried a Xp12 and also found it tame, polite, un-dynamic. I paired it with my Pass XA25 and Cornwalls. I just got a LTA MZ3 and boy what a difference! Much more dynamic, engaging, possibly more resolving, better bass. My opinion would... | |
| LTA - Has Anyone Had First Hand Experiance? coachpoconnorAny comparison between the Supratek and LTA? | |
| Pass XP12. Tame, Anemic? I will continue to leave on and evaluate. I have a LTA mz3 coming next week, interested in Don Sachs and Aric Audio Motherload, (wonder how the Sachs and Aric compare). I’ve had a Prima Luna, a little “mushy”. Side note, I’m starting to wonder if... | |
| Pass XP12. Tame, Anemic? Using Blue Jeans rca cables. It’s a demo, not sure how many hours on it. I’ve had it turned on for about 24 hrs. Yes I thought I wouldn’t be able to over tame the horns...but I think I have.Erik, I respect a lot of your info, what are your reason... | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING I’m using this in my Grannyring modified Orchid. Much clearer? More airy? Than the NOS Mullard mentions in this thread. In my system, my ears of course.E188CC / 7308 Siemens, West Germany made, 1960s wide getter support post, gold pins. | |
| SPL: Reference level performance, German build quality, and innovative designs Interested in SPL also. Checked around with dealers and gotten vague responses about timeline ranging from April to late summer to unknown. Anybody found a way to get one with a firm confirmation on delivery date?Jaymark, did you receive yours yet? | |
| If the PS Audio Stellar 700M is as great as all the reviewers say.... I’ve had a Stellar 300. Very transparent, great tight bass. Needed 100hrs burn in, sounded bad right out of box. For me it was a little edgy with my Cornwalls, but Klipsch can get edgy quickly without a very smooth amp. 700 is supposed to be a li... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Cal3713, thanks for the input! 1 more question for everybody... I’m using 97 dB sensitive speakers and always concerned about noise floor, any of the main dacs in discussion have any discernible noise? Thanks so much, this a great, informative thr... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Hi, this is a great thread, although older, and I hope some of might respond. I am wondering if anybody has compared Audio Mirror, Orchid, Amber 3 to a Terminator or Holo May. Seems the May and Terminator are pretty similar sounding, wondering if ... |
