| tube pre amp for Pass Labs Aleph 30 Otto:I am getting ready to try a VTL 2.5, which has a pretty low output impedance for a tube pre (200 ohms). I am still waiting the VTL to arrive, but when I'm up and running, I'll report on the performance. I might also buy something a little che... | |
| LFD Mistral LE break in time? Cody:Yes, let it run for about 100 hours. It'll sweeten up. Also, what is your cd player? I used to have a Mistral, and I really liked it. It was especially nice with vinyl. The thing that I have found with this amp is that it is very revealing of... | |
| Pass Labs Aleph Amps and Tube Preamps Another good match might be a VTL 5.5, which has a low output impedence of 200 ohms. I myself am getting ready to try the VTL 2.5 w/ the Aleph 30 and will email you as soon as I'm up and running. | |
| Jazz/blues guitarist suggestions for SRV fan. I wanna plug Benard Allison. Of course, Freddie King is the master of blues instrumentals. While he is not necessarily a jazz-influenced cat, his studio bands always seem to include musicians with jazz chops. Plus, a lot of the instrumentals featu... | |
| Major Problems with Aleph Ono One thing I notice about this phenomenon is that the woofer wobble starts to disappear after the first track of the record has played. I think that as the tone arme moves toward the center of the record, any irregularities are less "dynamic." I wo... | |
| PS audio P600 in multiwave operation I agree with Dopogue. I own a P-300, and the multiwave is just a bunch a snake oil. Sure, there are the subtlest differences, but they are only differences, not improvements. However, I REALLY like the basic Powerplant platforms and would recommen... | |
| PC that wont change my amp's personality ? I like the Audience Power Chord. You can get them for less than $300 here. Also, to add my $.02, in my experience, the PCs have more effect the further upstream you go. Amps seem to be the least affected by PCs, although there can be some changes,... | |
| low cost integrated amp for newbie How about a Jolida 102b? Used you might be able to find one for about $350-$400. I think that you'd like what this little amp does to vocals. | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? CORRECTION: When I was talking about the power amps, I meant to write "kohms" when I wrote "ohms." Wouldn't want to besmirch the technical integrity of this thread, oh no! | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? All: Thanks for your responses. If I decide on an Aleph 30, I might go with a VTL 2.5. (Anybody got one with a phono stage?) It has a low impedance output of 200 ohms. The Rogue 66 (Magnum), while similarly priced, has an output of a whopping 650 ... | |
| Review: Audio Refinement Pre-5 Preamplifier I noticed that you included the vtl in with the ss. What did you think of it? | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? Gunbei: You have hit right on it. I would probably like a tube power amp like a cary or a rogue, but, with that I have read about the Aleph, it seems that you can get a lot of the same thing with a little less up front and a lot less in the long-r... | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? Drubin: please forgive my technical ignorance, I'm here to learn, right? What type of specification should I look at, and what should the values be? I really do not know type of number represents "low output impedence." Thanks! | |
| Best CD with a muted horn? MILES DAVIS! Check out "Someday My Prince Will Come." Actually, you know what? This is the first compact disc I ever bought--back in 1984! I can almost remember the day--I didn't even own one of those "CD Players." But, seriously, most of the Mile... | |
| Jazz suggestions please Bennie Green. He's probably the one cat that incorporates all of these pianists you've mentioned. The CDs to get: "Greens," "The Place To Be," "Testifyin'." I promise that these cds will swing all night long! |
