| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Grannyring. Congrats on the supratek choice and welcome to the forum.Regarding Nos tubes: Not much more to add on my behalf as Mr Bwhite's assessment of the nos tubes choices for the supratek is really very accurate. He has pretty much "dial... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Steve. Nice post . "Fine tuning" is the more appropriate word here in this thread. I have a sneeking suspicion that most of us here have "been there and done that".Many of us have experimented with IC's,speaker wire,tubes etc,and can hear the diff... | |
| Norah's new album,,FEB 9th. Can she do it again??? I concur with Zaikesman here. However, I do believe she is very talented and can only get better with age. After all: she is very young and her voice will surely mature. | |
| Suggestions please. Roryfan How large is your room? | |
| The Klipschorn Hey Eldartford.Full scale to be sure! But about the Jazz and blues lovers here. In the right room [read large] they can rock-out with the best of them. Dynamic as all get out with absolutely zero compression to boot! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Gang. I suppose what one might call a tweak,another may call it a component.In defence of stevem and keeping things in perspective, I certainly concur with every point he made in numerical order, as they would most definitevly qualify for a to... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Cello. While I do not use any of the symposium products,I second your recommendation on their effectiveness.They are terrific with tubed based gear. I have heard the effect first hand in a friends room isolating his magnificent sounding Klimo tube... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Gang. Re: rolling regulators and rectifiers. Jazzdude's observations regarding soundstage stability and re: equipment employing vaccum tubed power supplies is rather astute and really very relevent here. Most of us with the supratek preamps ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Cello. Re: regulators in the supratek. They do indeed influence the sound of the pre,however...their influence is nowhere near the dramatic difference of the 6sn7 or the rectifier choice for that matter.I am using the syrah,not the cortese,h... | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? I think its time to revisit a great read by Marshall Mcluan "The medium is the message" [well maybe for all you old hippies out there.] | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century ASA...... Dammit..... ya caught me red handed... Next time, I think I will just leave the Kens at home. | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? HMMMM. Guess I better sell my 8 inch lengths of Cardas golden reference. NOT! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I hear you Tom! and a very good point. One hell of a lot of experimentation going on out there without some type of methodology or reference point to work with.And with tubed gear, more often then not, it can lead far too many poor souls into prov... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? Your engineer friend, obviously has never heard a good system that employs vacuum tubes.Given the opportunity, I am certain he would be even more amazed at how a fine tube based system can consistently get you closer to the music. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Regarding my last post: I should qualify things for those that are following this thread.My commentary was based solely on the use of vinyl as the source for comparison. |
