| Review: Argentum Acoustics Mythos - XLR Interconnect Bear,Great review. Have you ever used Acoustic Zen Silver Ref II or Matrix II XLRs in your system? I'm curious to know how the Mythos sound compares to the AZ, which I find quite musical. Thanks. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I've got a 1 m length Revelation Audio Labs CryoSilver Reference umbilical power cable for my Chardonnay which is now unfortunately too short for my new rack. Last I heard 1 m for this is now $269.Mine's in perfect condition, used only for the las... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tuongsy/Tim,Thanks for the reply. I checked with Brad and the price has gone up to $199 now. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tim,Did you buy the umbilical cable directly through the listing on audiogon? Was it the "Passage" cryosilver cable 0.5m in length? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I am currently using the Ayre Cx7e which works well with the Chardonnay - clean and revealing sound. Looking into the Meridian G08 as an upgrade - very musical with a spacious soundstage. Hope this helps. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Powers,Welcome to the club. I'm a relatively new Chardonnay owner myself (since Sept 2006), and yes, the sound will get better and better with burn-in. Give it at least 200 hrs before you start tube rolling. I have since swapped out the stock 5881... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thank you for the first review of the Malbec, Kgturner.Out of curiosity, how do they compare to the AES Sixpacs you previously owned? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Many thanks for the tip, David. I'll be on the lookout for the metal-based GZ34 then. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Can anyone give me an idea of the life span of regulator tubes like the 350B or 6F6G in the Chardonnay? thanks | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks, Allan, that's good to know.It still works, but I was kinda worried it would blow up or something... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Help! Tube newbie alert here:The chrome/silvery top of the 6SN7 tube on the right hand side of my Chardonnay is discoloring. In fact, about one third of the top has turned into this matte grey. Is this normal after 3 days of use?This is freaking m... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Just to add a brief note regarding the gain switches behind the 6SN7 tubes. According to Mick, in the later models gain switch is High, Low, Medium from the front, and not vice versa as found in Kgturner's user manual (graphic on page 4).Hope this... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks for taking the time to scan the manual, Kgturner.I sure needed the manual in getting it set up - this is my first tube preamp. This is one major reason why I opted for the Chardonnay - a great user community. I knew I could count on the exp... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi gang,I perused this lengthy thread for quite a while before deciding on the Supratek Chardonnay. It arrived yesterday, just one month after placing the order. I am quite pleased with not having to wait longer :-)I got the black/Sheoak finish wi... |
