| Conrad Johnson 17LS2 tube problems with Krell amp? No, I don't believe the CJ's have any DC leakage present at the output, however Oldpet's advice is very astute! Most any well designed vacuum tubed preamp should not have any dc present if the power supply is properly designed.That said: most any ... | |
| Marantz 8B, best tubes to use ?? I no longer have a Marantz 8b so I cannot attest to the preformance of the current offerings in the stock 8b. I would concurr with Albertporter on the voice of the Mullard fx-2 though as the original model 8 and 8b were voiced with that tube. The ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Vetterone. Thanks for the prompt reply.Due to this abberation being common to both units and through both the phono stage and the line, I think it would probably be the most logical to start with the rectifier and regulators in the power sup... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Patrick. Yes, sounds like a classic case of phono overload to me too. Are both Syrah's using the same tube topology in the phono stage. Some used a combo of the 6j5 and 417a/5842 and others with a 6dj8/6j6. Are there any gain options on them ei... | |
| ProAC 2.5 users please share experience on amp hey Gunbei. Being from Canada myself, I have met Gilbert on numerous occasions and we always inevitably chewed the fat about tubes and circuit design.He is without doubt the consummate gentleman, a brilliant designer,very approachable and a class ... | |
| Best amplifier for Tannoy GRF Memory HE S23chang. A very good analogy , you have good ears sir. Although in my experience the 300b triodes are probably the most difficult set amps to voice with vintage 15 inch tannoys due to the 300b's typically softer and bloomier bass range flavour .I... | |
| Best amplifier for Tannoy GRF Memory HE Hi Gang. Great to see some vintage Tannoy users on this forum. Rdr... nice post and well said. I concurr with futterman here regarding and the OTL amplification marriage,however there are many amplifiers that work well with the big tannoys...both ... | |
| ProAC 2.5 users please share experience on amp Hi Gang. Interesting thread here. Smileshopper... Given the proportions of you room, there are many amplifiers that will work well for you.I am sure you are aware that the response series of the proacs love tube amplification. The better the ampli... | |
| Re-biasing a CJ Premier 8 I would concurr with avguygeorge on the influence of the input and driver tubes. That said: Both the 6fq7's and the 5751's in the amplifiers should give you at least 3000 hours of life before replacement [unless they go noisey or microphonic]. The... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Larry and Raytheprinter. Congrats on your decision. As the gang here is saying... you will be duly rewarded. I intend on posting an update on the various nos tube options with respect the voicing of the cortese and the syra[chenin]in the very ... | |
| cartridge for Eminent Technology ET2 tonearm? I use a koetsu rosewood, and have also used a denon 103d,shelter 501 as well as the grado statement. All of them work very well in the et-2. | |
| What's after Supratek Hi Larry. Thanks for the imfo. Has mick tried these yet? Seems like a heck of an upgrade over the stock gain pot in the suprateks. | |
| What's after Supratek Hi Dennis The Menace. Ecclectique here... I wasn't aware of the welbourne remote attenuators and am very intrigued with them[thanks for the heads up here]. If you decide on using one I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. I have both the syrah ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Jpms... So you went with the Foundation Research cords. The LC's have been an integral part of my rig for over 5 years and I could not live without them. When I remove an LC cord in my rig to try anything else it becomes an immediately step backwa... | |
| Audio Research Reference tube phono preamp A great pre is the "heart" of any fine system, particularly when a table is employed in it. Enjoy |
