| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? I'll just note that the aric audio preamps are also 6sn7 based. I'd love to hear one, as every review is very positive (and I agree with many of his well-advertised design options). | |
| Low incoming voltage I use an Elgar industrial power conditioner (6006b) that specifically addresses this problem and makes my stereo sound much better in the process. You have to buy used unfortunately, but read around and you'll see universal positive reviews. It do... | |
| Radio Power Supply in HiFi Application And long story short, your purchase may even outperform the fancy $700 one. If you can get an audiophile pls with a return policy you should give it a go and find out. | |
| Radio Power Supply in HiFi Application They're probably all the same, in fact I'd personally be biased *towards* testing equipment where poor noise suppression would interfere with operation and is likely to be detected by the user. The old radio equipment was also *very* sensitive to... | |
| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? You've got a smattering of responses and I'll add mine. When looking for a pre to pair with my first watt f4, I read a lot about tubes and topologies and eventually settled on 6sn7 based units. If you want a balanced design, I'd look at atma-spher... | |
| Tubes? A few thoughts.1. +3 or +4 on a nice tube preamp with a quality high power SS amp. Those speakers are almost certainly designed to be driven by a SS amp. Arguing with a designer and using equipment out of its intended use case is a tough road... 2... | |
| Preamp suggestions, yes again If you built your own amps, you might consider building your pre too. Here's a link to the kit don Sachs uses to make his machine... Right around your $1k budget: http://www.tubes4hifi.com/SP14.htm | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Has anyone in here done a trial of the supratek 6sn7 vs dht flavors? | |
| Preamp suggestions, yes again And I would also say you might also give supratek a shot. All the owners love it too. I almost bought one and still might give it a shot and compare it to my lovely DS one day.Just look at the love in this thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discus... | |
| Preamp suggestions, yes again I use a Don Sachs 6sn7 preamp (a modified version of the vta sp14 kit which itself appears to be based on the Aikido kit). It has everything you want and sounds great driving my DIY first watt f4 monoblocks. I have Duelund tinned copper cast outpu... | |
| Same Wiring of Speakers and Speaker Cables If you’re doing a rewiring project, I highly recommend tempo electric’s high purity solid core silver in an oversized Teflon jacket. They sell by the foot at very reasonable prices. No snake oil, just the highest quality, most electrically conduct... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Indeed. Everyone shopping for these solutions should use that to tool. Good recommendation. | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? @tweak1 I can feel the low frequency isolation with my hand. My speakers have separate cabinets for the bass and mid-range/tweeter pair, and the head units sit on top of the bass cabinets. With the isoacoustic pucks under the head unit, I could st... | |
| Network Speaker Cables & Ferrite Cores I found some 1" ones, but they were like $30. Tough sell for 5 components. |
