| Review: Allnic L-5000 Tube preamp Hi, Bob,Sure, you are welcome to hear my crazy system when you are in town, maybe some of the other BAAS (audio society) systems if they are available to be heard.I didn't make it back to Chicago this last year for my usual biennial conference, ma... | |
| sme 30/2 or TW Acustic Raven AC3 Pcosta,It's always a good thing to hear from people who have had both components in their systems under similar circumstances. As I recall, however, when you sold your SME 30, it was with regret. You implied that you regarded the TW Acustic as sor... | |
| sme 30/2 or TW Acustic Raven AC3 LewmYes, it was a dilemma that took a while to resolve. I use active crossover and pass the signal below 80 Hz to a separate pair of subwoofers with SS amplifiers mediated by a tube rectified preamp. The ribbons themselves are motivated by four ch... | |
| sme 30/2 or TW Acustic Raven AC3 Grossly unfair to characterize the SME 30 is "uninvolving". I have some of the most sumptuous, hypnotic playback I have ever heard with my SME 30. Auxiliary electronics, perhaps? I don't like to enter the "brand wars" except in cases of gross miss... | |
| Review: Allnic L-5000 Tube preamp Hi, Ian,For more detailed information, you can contact David Beetles at Hammertone Audio:www.hammertoneaudio.comDavid Beetles can also put you in direct touch with Mr. Park for questions.Last I heard, Mr. Park will be making a limited edition of a... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Isolating the turntable system from external and airborne vibrations is certainly essential. That creates one point of vibration attenuation and frequency reassignment from external influences.A lot of the above discussions seem to bear on the iss... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? I can certainly understand the microscope analogy. However, microscopes don't create vibrations nor do they interpret them, so to some extent the analogy is not complete as a comparison. I know many of the isolation techniques used in audio look a... | |
| SME 30 compared to current favorites When I got my SME 30, I lost interest in other turntables. I have heard a few of the top contenders. I don't want to get into battles with zealots or manufacturer's representatives, so I won't mention names, but the SME 30 is not wanting compared ... | |
| tube amp for ribbon tweeters I have heard one in another system and they sound good. I use single ended el 84 tubes for my foil tweeters, and the single ended el 84 sound the best of many different amps that I tried, varying from solid state, push pull, DHT etc..The Decware Z... | |
| tube amp for ribbon tweeters Offhand, I would recommend one of the Decware Zen el 84 tube rectified models. Some of the older models allow switchable both triode and pentode operation, so you can try both ways to see which way you like better. They also have a volume level, w... | |
| tube amp for ribbon tweeters You should consider single ended to avoid the upper midrange grunge that can come with push-pull. Also, the output transformer tends to protect the delicate ribbon when turned on and off. It is easy to destroy the foil with on-off transients.Also,... | |
| tube amp for ribbon tweeters One of the single ended el 84 amps, Almarro or Zen comes to mind. I use a Wavelength junior, but it is a bit pricey. Single ended el 84 sounded better than a number of other tubed and solid state amps that I tried with my ribbon tweeters. You coul... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... I have a pair of the 300b-z that I am running in in a Manley neo preamp. These are "grey market" i.e. they are not the premium tubes from Grant Fidelity. They have matched plate current of 37mA, which is below the Grant acceptable select values of... | |
| Rockport's or Magico's You might want to post this question over at:http://www.ultrahighendforum.com/index.phpI believe there are members there who have heard both. | |
