| Congestion, clarity problems gone: M.R. RM-9 Thanks for the update. The RM-9 is a great amp. Since you have the MkI version down the road you might consider sending it to Roger to be upgraded to MkII. | |
| Does OTL pre-amplifier exist? IIRC there is a direct coupled version of the Cary SLP-98 available from Upscale Audio. I think it is called the F1. | |
| Accuphase P-300, worth upgrading? I believe Accutech in SoCal would be the best resource to restore the P-300. If I owned one that is where I would send it. | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? You can tailor the sound through the topology.I think my point is you start with the circuit, and the specs which should provide 99% of the sound of the unit.This is what I gleaned from Ralph's posts above. Good quality and reliable parts, and not... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Here is a quote from a very famous designer (a degreed engineer) who has no qualms and makes no apologies for using negative feedback in his designs (although he has designed amps using zero negative feedback as well) but is certainly conscious of... | |
| Tube Pre/Monoblock Recommendation I would recommend Atma-Sphere M-60s and MP-3. A friend and long time contributor to this forum, pubul57 (RIP), ran this combo with his Merlin's and praised the sound. You may want to search the archives for some of his posts. This combo might push... | |
| TubeGuru amps from Hungary? Similar experience here although I managed to exchange emails and have a couple phone conversations with the rep in SoCal. Still very strange. | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator Yes he is missed around here. I introduced Paul to the Lightspeed and that was the common denominator that in essence started a very nice friendship between us. | |
| Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II Okay to achieve 2 ohms on the RM-9 all you have to do is hook up the positive lead on the 8 ohm tap and the negative lead on the 4 ohm tap. Do this for each channel. Then connect the corresponding ends to your speaker binding posts. I have done th... | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator Please be advised that Pubul57 passed away this earlier year. You may want to go visit the thread he started on the Lightspeed attenuator. I have been using one for a few years now in my single ended system. I pair it with a Music Reference RM-10 ... | |
| Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II Roger's amps are designed take advantage of light loading. Using the 4 ohm tap on an 8 ohm speaker will decrease power output (20%) or so, but lower distortion and provide additional benefits. I believe in addition to a 4 ohm tap the RM-9 has a 2 ... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Kudos to Ralph for telling like it is. People are welcome to evaluate components (and their parts) however they wish. In the end though, a component is only as good as the circuit design. | |
| Vinyl In the Netherlands That looks like a great event. I think I can convince work I need to be over here around that time:) | |
| Vinyl In the Netherlands It's 28 miles so not impossible. Thanks | |
| Vinyl In the Netherlands Thank you. Oude Gracht is a short walk from the Grand Karel so I went by and found the one at 306 but it had already closed. I will go buy earlier tonight. The other one located at 26 is a mystery. Seems the numbering gets to about the high 100s b... |
