| Tubes or Solid State? soix, thanks. | |
| Tubes or Solid State? @bigkidz I have three MF units plus a DAC, do you mean the M2si? I am more than happy with my Audiolab CDT/V-90 DAC combo. It's a big improvement over my Cambridge Topaz Unit. There was an SPL Elector for sale here for $1850.00 And a Phonitor Pre/... | |
| Tubes or Solid State? @elliottbnewcombjr I don't know much about streamers at all. I do know I don't want to subscribe to a streaming service in order to be able to use one. About DACs all I'll say is this. A CD transport/DAC combination, even a budget DAC like mine wi... | |
| Tubes or Solid State? @ghdprentice I’m looking at all possibilities, and haven’t ruled anything out yet, well anything under $2K in price that is. My "forever system" is almost in place. I think a tube preamp would be just the thing to put it over the top. (see below) ... | |
| Mapletree Audio Design Preamps. It's Maple tree and they're in Canada. I sent an email to contact them and I haven't received a reply. | |
| Mapletree Audio Design Preamps. I don't know. I have a decent sized power amp 125 wpc @ 8 Ω and MF claims 75 amps of current peak to peak. My speakers are fairly efficient 94db @ 1 watt/1 meter. So gain in the preamp stage might not be that big an issue. It's all about synergy... | |
| Mapletree Audio Design Preamps. No it is not passive. It has 10db of gain, which is not a lot, | |
| Mapletree Audio Design Preamps. Thanks. I playing with the idea of getting a new line stage from them. I don't need or want a phono section. To be honest I can't really complain about the M2si as a preamp other than the fact there are no tubes in it. | |
| HMMM. A little late for that. Thanks for playing. | |
| HMMM. They took the face plate off,adjusted the position of the switch. I was told the tech "reassembled it." whatever that means.They probably cleaned any contacts or sticking points as well.. Works like new. | |
| HMMM. Well I took the amp into a vintage hi fi shop in my town. They fixed it for a price. I won't reveal it here, but I think they were fair. | |
| HMMM. Today I took the amp to a shop to get worked on. I'll know in 2 weeks whether or not it worked. | |
| HMMM. Thanks, I just might give that a try. There are 4 screws on the face plate. if that doesn't work I take it into a shop. | |
| HMMM. @Carlsbad. Thanks, I'm probably in the 90% that couldn't fix it. Then I surprise myself every so often. | |
| HMMM. Thanks. |
