| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Jwm, I have heard the MP-1 on several occasions. IF you like a more diffuse and colored presentation, then yes, I would agree with you. OTOH,IF you prefer accuracy to source and a more dynamic presentation, then the CAT is IMO better. BTW, my ears... | |
| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Don't agree with Rfogel18 at all. The CAT is in another league to most all preamps out there. To bring it up several notches, tube rolling is what I found to really make it sing. IMHO, the Modwright isn't in the same league at all vs. the CAT. Add... | |
| Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs? Soix, I haven't tried the Lorad on any other component. All of my other gear uses 15 amp iec's and I have dedicated power cords for those pieces.Compared to the Diamondback, the Lorad was a lot quieter and seemed to bring the bottom end to life mo... | |
| Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time Marty, what model do you own? As an model 8 owner, I can tell you that this amp was designed to be in 'idle' mode until the front switch is depressed, which takes the amp into full-on mode. The thinking is to have the circuit active at all times i... | |
| Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs? Soix, my Rowland puts out 250 watts/ch. Can do 25 watts/ch pure class A and therefore it draws.. the Lorad works VERY well with this amp ( make sure you get the Lorad 2.5 and NOT the smaller version). BTW, the amp needs a 20 amp iec and the Wattga... | |
| Anyone hear SF Venere's? Thougts? Livin, I think the SF Venere's would most likely be a nice step-up from your Hales. My experience with SF's is that they do need a good power amp with some ability to drive them up stream. I don't think some of the single ended flea power amps nee... | |
| Innersound Electrostatic amp driving Quad esl 57's You may want to try an ARC D70 Mk2. I own one and it's a wonderful tube amp. I'm pretty sure that David Chesky uses this amp to drive Quads. | |
| Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs? Soix, I'm using a Lorad 2.5 attached to my Rowland model 8. It's an excellent power cord and far superior to the Shunyata Diamondback that I was using before. However,I do think it is important to use a better plug than what Supra offers...in my c... | |
| NOS KT 88s or GE 6550s Hifigeek1, I trust the Richardson 6550's weren't GE branded, or?? | |
| NOS KT 88s or GE 6550s Hifigeek1, what newer versions are you talking about? The GE 6550 tubes that I have used and heard were all very good sounding and quite reliable. If you are talking about another brand, well that's a different situation. | |
| NOS KT 88s or GE 6550s Hifigeek1, perhaps if you could listen to a good amp using the GE6550's you would see what the fascination is all about. | |
| NOS KT 88s or GE 6550s Pradeep, I haven't heard the NOS JAN 6550A...were these GE's as well and just Joint Army/Navy or ?? I do own a matched quad set of GE 6550's that are like new, and once my SED 6550 C's give up the ghost will replace them with the GE's. You have to... | |
| Nordost vs. Transparent...which is better? Hi LLoyd, I haven't had the pleasure of trying Odin's with my G's. I would be a little afraid that if I did and they were amazing ( which I'm pretty sure they would be), I'd have to get a 2nd mortgage and the WAF would be at an all time low, LOL. | |
| NOS KT 88s or GE 6550s Sunnyboy, I have heard both the GE 6550's and the GL KT88's. IMO, the GE's are some of the very best tubes ever made. If you like midrange magic and the ability to drop down in the bass dept, then you will LOVE these. The GL KT88's are almost veil... | |
| Nordost vs. Transparent...which is better? Not sure if the OP still uses Guarneri's, but IMHO one of the very best cables for these speakers is Nordost. The cables are lightning fast and the speakers respond beautifully to them.I use Frey's and also Red Dawn 11's; both are superb and a BIG... |
