| FM Acoustics fm155 preamp Hi Pani, That explains a lot and I see your situation very clearly now. Your have two superb amplifiers confirmed by your listening standards and that's not a bad position to be in. It appears to me that given your needs, the FM amplifier is the o... | |
| FM Acoustics fm155 preamp Bvdiman,I agree with your sentiments and perspectives. What's ideal for you may not be for me and the converse is true. I can't speak to the state of SET amplifiers in the 1990s. I can say that today there are excellent choices available with very... | |
| FM Acoustics fm155 preamp Pani,Following your various posts and threads for some time now. It's hard for me to get a feel for what you want musically speaking. The Wavac/ Lamm seemed an ideal choice for " natural" sound. Perhaps your Tannoy speakers dictate another directi... | |
| Tube preamp vs Tube cd player It's my own experience/observation (of course) but tube/SS differences seem less pronounced with digital front ends ( there's more sonic overlap between them). Power amplifiers present the larger gap based on my listening. If you really like what ... | |
| Tube preamp vs Tube cd player Zd542,You made some very good points.I most often prefer tube over transistor alternatives in general but it all depends. Just adding tubes into the mix doesn't make everything better and solve all problems. Some SS components have better midrange... | |
| Not as much activity on analog here Chayro,Well said!There's no need for chasing after DACs every "few months" unless you just want to do so. Both Digital and Turntables can provide very long lasting enjoyable music reproduction in one's home. Either source can sound disappointing i... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veenas vs Avalon Eidolon "Think long and hard" +1There's hifi considerations and then there's musicality considerations (as Rcprince noted). Syntax makes a very valid point. It's an advantage to have a speaker that can be driven by high quality low-moderate power amplifie... | |
| My wife passed yesterday Hello Chayro,You and your family have my sincere sympathy and I know this is a devastating event in your life. You'll always have the love and happy memories of all the things you and your wife enjoyed and shared together. I've been married for 27... | |
| Best new tube amp under $1500? Hi Wolf,I learned quite some time ago that higher cost doesn't always equate to superior sound quality (although it should). Was the Rogers amplifier on a speaker familiar to you? I know sometimes it can be an incapatable/poor match of amp and spe... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hi Tbg,Fair enough, we all acknowledge that these are just individual subjective impressions. I was simply responding to your Troy with tubes comments. I'm not in position to judge your outcomes, for me this is a sublime combination. Best Regards,... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calloway,Thanks, I've admired your Chalice amplifier based system for quite some time. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz +1 Calloway. Certainly some tube components sound as Tbg described, but broad brush painting is very misleading. No way can all tube electronics be group in this stereotypical manner.HFC and the Tripoint Troy with my tubed system is utterly natura... | |
| Fuses that matter. Budburma,I don't have nor have I heard the AMR fuse. I've only used the SR Quantum and they impressed me. So the SR Red fuse has my interest, if it's better than the quantum that's noteworthy. Charles, | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Tubegroover,Understood, if you're happy there's no need for change.Charles, | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Tim Smith, If you are still following this thread I have some suggested recordings you may like. On my system page date 10/18/2014 I listed some jazz guitarists CDs (you may have these already).Four more to consider.Kenny Burrell, "Bluesy Burrell"... |
