| TVC Promethius versus Bent Pubul57,I thought you would enjoy it. The MkI transformers with copper windings have that warmth factor that make them special. It was sitting idle for about a month so over another 50 or so hours it will gradually get even better.I take it you do... | |
| Resitor Passive Just curious, do you know if Jud Barber uses Alps or Noble volume pots in his preamp designs? I thought my Joule had Noble pots, but I can't remember. | |
| Resitor Passive I would say "blow away" is a harsh term. I have participated in and side with the view that TVCs are better than resistor based passives. Maybe in some systems these "blow away" comparisons could be true, but the opposite could easily be true as w... | |
| TVC Promethius versus Bent Pubul57,Not sure if you have seen this, but some good information on S&B transformers:http://www.stevens-billington.co.uk/page102.htm | |
| TVC Promethius versus Bent I have the EVS attenuators and compared them to the K&K TVC that I also have (with S&B MkI transformers and Seiden switches). The TVC was better in regards to micro dynamics and overall sound stage presentation. The EVS presented a sound s... | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please Pubul57,I used my K&K Audio TVC with the RM9 and it was a great match. This was back when I lived in Santa Barbara and was able to visit Roger to have the RM9 upgraded to MkII and found he prefers it with a passive pre. He ran an RM200 with th... | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please I used the 6N23P tubes as well. Well worth it sound wise and very inexpensive. Otherwise the Siemens NOS worked for me too. | |
| All time favorite speaker cables Right now I would have to say the Mosaic Chimera by Intuitive Audio. Although I still have a fondness for the CRL/FIM Silver. I have had the Supra Swords in my system and really liked them. I think Krell_man has described them accurately. If I did... | |
| Conditioner for Cary MB500 Monoblocks I have used both the Exact Power EP-15A and Running Springs Haley power conditioners. Both are very good and did not limit dynamics with my amps. That being said I now use Alan Maher Designs Power Enhnacers. You can get some information here about... | |
| Review: Dahlquist DQ-10 Speaker Does anyone know how the DQ-28's compare to the DQ-10, or even the 20i or 30i for that matter? I saw a pair on eBay and was quite curious about them. | |
| Tube amp location I've used Pearl tube coolers on a Cary V12i amp at one time. I really didn't notice that much difference when I removed them. | |
| Are passive preamps better? The Bent Audio TAP, soon to be back in production can be ordered with remote. The old version used transformers (S&B) while the new version will use autoformers (Intact Audio).Bent also makes a resistor based passive. | |
| Are passive preamps better? The Endlers aren't the last word in a passive attenuator, I preferred the EVS, but my reason for using them was to attenuate the gain from an active preamp/amp mismatch. In your case, to evaluate whether or not passive is an option for you, the En... | |
| What is the best place to buy tubes? I've bought from Brendan at Tube World. Definitely knows his tubes and was very satisfied with my purchase. | |
| Anyone been in contact with Jade Audio recently? I have had both the Jade and GG cables. Both are excellent. I was not able to do a head to head comparison of the two so I can't really say or want to get into a this cable is better than that discussion of the two brands. Suffice it to say I own ... |
