| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Jazzdude. Thank you for your prompt response. I have little doubt the line of the Grange will best the cortese with the same single triodes in it for line gain. But is the cost of going that route really justifiable? If I do order one it will d... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Gang. Ongaku, thanks for the post. Sandro, congrats on your new supratek and I am sure you will enjoy the ride. EThifi, Have you spent much seat time with the preamp in the low gain setting? If it is loud at 9 oclock on the volume control, it l... | |
| Amp for new Meadowlark Krestel 2's ? Hello Beernut. Firstly, congrats on your new tube amp. It would be a good idea to follow the astute advice of Unsound. All dimmer switches will cause some hum in an audio system and have no place in a room with a good high resolution audio system ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Gang. Anyone else using the Grange with the px4? I am seriously considering ordering one but I am a little apprehensive as I would have to part with either my syrah or the cortese to raise the funds. Would be nice to hear a little feedback fro... | |
| Darn it...Odyssey Loreleis vs Tannoy Gold 12 Hey Hey Jsujo.While I am a very big fan of Klaus Bunge's work and the voicing of his speakers,but "do not" discount the classic tannoy gold. With updated crossovers parts and proper modern cabinets they will compete head on with the odyssey as wel... | |
| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C Interesting thread. I do know that one would need to spend a bunch more money to better my restored fisher 400. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Fiddler. To employ the 7193 in the chardonnay one would have to drill a hole beside each tube socket to accommodate the wiring to the caps . Probably not so good if you ever wanted to sell it. I run my wiring up through the extra tube socket of... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Fiddler. I have an order in for the welbourne labs attenuator,unfortunately they are in a back order position at present. Anyone tried it in a supratek yet? Thanks for the tip on the Mundorfs. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello WcMustang, Congrats on your new acquisition. Tricked up? Can you elaborate. Did you order it with the px4 directly heated triode? I too am considering buying one myself. I have never heard the tube in a preamp stage however I have played wit... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Slowhand. No.......without a rectifier, the preamp would not power up. No rectifier = no power. The rectifiers's duty is to convert the AC voltage[ 115-120 volts alternating current] from the wall plug to 6 volts DC [direct current] for operati... | |
| Digital Amp's Muralman1. I do not doubt your statements here however, it would be appropriate here to qualify the speaker you were using to compare the two topologies and keep things in perpective.When you mentioned "None preferred the class A amp" over the ice... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Slowhand... Pay attention to Jazzdude's post here! Good catch Jazzdude. I wouldn't worry about damaging the capacitors, however as Jazzdude correctly pointed out....you must leave your preamp powered up or you will certainly experience a premature... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Raytheprinter. Man, you have been on a mission lately!...and a very fine system sir. Didn't mean to put any pressure on you. I see you have already discovered the Kenrad vt-231....a great tube in the supratek. How did the sylvania 5v4 work out ... | |
