| looking for best isolation platform for CD player Neuance is the best I have tried to date after several other devices which produced some benefit but not the overall improvement the shelf has made. | |
| Benefits of tube sound with SS amp with tube cdp? I used to have a tube cdp, tube preamp, and SS amp that sounded really good. I changed to a different tube cdp, passive pre, and the same amp and it sounds awesome.First I changed from a SF Line 3 SE to Placette Passive and the transparency and ov... | |
| Best Values and worst values in SS and tube amps ? Route 9, I DID vote for Bush and I'm still able to see the merit in the thread. Go figure. You'll do better sticking to stereo and staying away from stereotype. | |
| Best Values and worst values in SS and tube amps ? I think this thread itself is an example of what I'm saying about subjective preference. Some people love Aronov and some think it's the worst. Lots of people think Sim Audio is wonderful. Others don't. It's useless to attempt to evaluate an amp w... | |
| Best Values and worst values in SS and tube amps ? Do you think the system matters as much as subjective preference? It's possible someone who prefers the sound of a McCormack amp over another similar high value SS amp, say Bryston, would always prefer the McCormack even if you change the other co... | |
| Is anyone using viritual dynamics armorned wire? You might want to email Garfish if he doesn't see this thread. He has the armored bx and cryoed cb's and will give a very favorable report I know. | |
| Anyone using NITES on their CD player?? Jay, I haven't tried the Silent Source yet, but it does sound interesting. | |
| 3.6 Maggie owners input needed on amps........... The 3.6 are a great value and compare with more expensive speakers. It's not uncommon they will reveal the qualities of amps that are double or triple the speaker price. I got a McCormack DNA-2 Dlx. initially with my maggies and eventually got the... | |

| What's the best preamp for under 1000 I agree with Mejames, Placette is the best I have heard in this price range. The Placette Passive linestage can be had for under $1,000 used ($1400 new) or a Remote Volume Control is $1,000 new and around $600 used. They both are solid state, have... | |
| Instead 6GH8A will be possible ECF-82/6U8A I think the ECF82 is a direct replacement for the 6GH8A. A Sonic Frontiers dealer sold me a pair of Telefunken ECF82 to use in a Line 3 preamp in place of the 6GH8A. They worked fine and were a good improvement over the stock tubes. | |
| Starting a new system... Make sure the amp/s are within about six feet of your speakers and no more than six feet from AC outlet/s. The ideal setup for those Compass Lake ICs is less than three feet between source, preamp, and amp. You could also get two sources and an in... | |
| Anyone using NITES on their CD player?? No, I haven't tried the Nite on my cdp, but have heard good things about them. I also have the Granite 657 cdp and have found cords make a significant difference. While the DIY cords I have tried provided some improvement, they are not in the same... | |
