| Upgrading specific components in a tube amplifier Exclusive Audio of Japan says this about the Yamamoto VT-52, "The capacitors and resistors used are carefully selected from all over the world with the best sound quality selected through auditioning" Is this the insides of the amp you want... | |
| I am sad @samureyex if its the amp you mentioned in other threads, have you tried contacting one of the distributors in your region to ask for support? | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead Initially, I went to mono blocks on my main system to split the weight of 100lb stereo amplifiers to 55lb each mono amps. Much easier to swap in/out now. Later realized again the sonic benefit of splitting each channel to its own individual chas... | |
| Duelund cap break in time 200hrs - my local tech friend use to say to me this with similar caps and parts changes; "get ready for the roller coaster ride", unquote. Then i did the same roller coaster ride four more times on different amps, and it was the same patience wa... | |
| World’s Best Cable 7 awg @dwest1023 ..known for long break in periods. However, after a week my ears could no longer take the harshness +1 @ghdprentice Agree, and I own three pairs of Cardas Clear Reflection interconnects, Clear for Digital, and Cross for speaker ca... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 To @mattsca if you are enamored by the weight and body elements your MC312 amp and Rel subs offer today on your main system, I think its going to take a special tube amplifier with real iron transformers to capture your attention with your Hersey ... | |
| Impressions & comparisons of Belles 150a Reference Power Amplifier Ver 2 @hilde45 did some checking on old threads and others, found this PF writeup from ten years ago on the V2, possibly a few comments here that stirs up some 150 v2 memories. https://positive-feedback.com/Issue77/belles_150.htm | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 To @mattsca one question I forgot to ask. What SS integrated/amplification do you have now, and do plan to keep it to rotate back to once in a while if you buy a tube amp? The reason for asking is many of us own and use more than one amp, and if ... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 @trivema ...Different from SLI-80 as the Firebottle is a Single Ended Pentode Class A putting out only 10-12 wpc. If you find one of these used, buy IT! Paired with the Heresys, you’ll learn what tube amps are all about. @mattsca If you want an... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 @mattsca I’ve never owned anything other than solid state but I am increasingly intrigued with tubes. Thinking of "investing" $5K or so in an all-tube integrated to (at least initially) drive my Klipsch Heresys. Any thoughts on these two choices?... | |
| PSVANE Mfg Co replaced my older 6SN7 CV-181 TII tubes CV181: No issues with the replacement CV181 tubes now over the first 45 days or so. I sent a thank you note to PSVANE for replacing the older tubes. KT88s: This weekend, I helped a friend replace his 3-year older gold PSVANE KT88s with a qua... | |

| From Audio Note AN/J-D to where? @apollinaire I have been recommended the Avantgarde Duo Mezzo. They look astonishing! I live in Denmark. >> What's your real budget limit for speakers and amplifier purchase? << Above you indicate reference to "amplifiers tha... | |
| From Audio Note AN/J-D to where? @apollinaire after level 3, the prices reaches astronomical heights. Totally agree, and understand - to the point I don’t own those next level amps myself, yet I look at them and listen to them each time I go to my local dealer. Oto, Soro, oth... | |
| From Audio Note AN/J-D to where? Rather than jumping ship, why not stick with AudioNote for the favorable reasons you mentioned in your post. My local 56-year-in-business audio dealer demos all models of the AudioNote speakers and amplifiers, sources, etc. He also offers electros... |
