| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Hi, Downunder,Yes, I think you need to roll the tubes to get the best possible sound. The character of the sound changes a lot with tube rolling. Not that it is shabby in stock form at all, it is just capable of a more lucious sound. I thought it ... | |
| What do you think of a Sonic Frontiers Processor 3 Just as a matter of info, my Yamaha RX Z9 AV receiver with the BB 1792 dac's significantly outperformed my Processor 3 (upgraded tube stage with expensive hi end tubes and hi end resistors/caps). Much better resolution and low end slam in the Yama... | |
| Amp for Apogee Stage's Morbius,I got the impression somewhere that you work in the area where I live in the East Bay. You might want to listen to my psuedo mini grand system with gutless amps, and I could listen to your system with Krells. Maybe you will sell me and I w... | |
| Analysis Audio Speakers I posted some impressions at:http://audioworld.com/sw/Forum1/HTML/004410.htmlJeff at Audible Arts in San Jose also hooked up a pair of ASL Explorer 805's and was very impressed with the sound of these SET amps with the Omegas. | |
| Preamp after Manley Steelhead? More tube dyslexia, meant 5867, | |
| Preamp after Manley Steelhead? I am sorry, I meant 5687 tung sol, which as some of the other posters seem to indicate, depends on taste. I use them now and like them very much. | |
| Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead I currently use the tung sol 5687's and like them for their warmth and punch. I think tube rolling is going to depend on your system. I have tried the raytheon triple mica 7044's, and they are also better than the stock GE 7044, which can sound so... | |
| Preamp after Manley Steelhead? Manley makes a line source switcher now called a Skipjack, which was originally intended for Å-B comparison of components. This can be used for multiple line sources to be attached to the volume controlled line input..I use my Yamaha RX Z9 as a di... | |
| Amp for Apogee Stage's There wouldn't be amplifiers at all if it weren't for rigorous scientific types making observations about materials and circuits. They certainly make a greater contribution than the mincing aesthetes.However, there is a point where the mono maniac... | |
| Amp for Apogee Stage's I have heard Stages on a couple of occasions with Classe amps. While the sound was not bad, it did not really allow the potential of the Stages to present space and the Classes had greying, glaring, congestion and soundstage uncertainties that sol... | |
| Amp for Apogee Stage's I have had Stages for fifteen years and have tried most of the variations. I think the arc welding amp thing got started because Jason Bloom was friends with the makers of Krell, and these were some of the first amps that sounded decent with Apoge... | |
| Manley Steelhead Tube Rolling I listed some further impressions on another thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1107569647&openflup&8&4#8 | |
| Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead Some more try-outs.I tried some raytheon triple mica 7044 and rca triple mica 7044. These are also excellent, great drive, body and clarity. I would call these "siemens-like", and seem to show off the Steelhead best as a "sound microscope" but wit... | |
| Manley Steelhead Tube Rolling I have also tried the GE five stars 5687 but haven't burned them in for a long time yet. They also sound pretty good in the Steelhead, I am a fan of the five stars in general.So far, though, I like the Tung Sol 5687 D getter (flat side) a little b... | |
| Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead Hi, Rx8man,I don't know about those tubes, no experience. I have heard that some older sovteks are much better than the current kind used in a lot of componenets. If they are not expensive, it is always worth a roll.I like the Amperexes best. Oran... |
