| Opinions on the current market Millercarbon, so my item of zero intrinsic value being traded for a component of some inherent value, I.e. ‘dollars’ for a component, means I shouldn’t worry how many of my dollars are traded for said component? 10k of them for a used Schuett Frey... | |
| Opinions on the current market @hilde45You got my point, thanks, as did @three-easy-payments: buyers vs sellers market. In reading old posts while researching used pre’s, some of the ‘you can get xyz-brand/model within your budget, used’ answers have equipment that is way highe... | |
| When Did Your System Disappear? I’ve had a few wow moments, starting when I upgraded my power amp, again when I upgraded the speakers. Initially I deliberately left them I spiked on the hardwood floor while I took some time to experiment with placement, and once I’d decided on t... | |
| Luxman CL38U-SE in the house I just noticed you’re using the 5T’s, I’m using 7T’s and looking to add a preamp, and interested in trying tubes. Good to see you’re still liking hat you’re hearing 2 years in. | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss like dpac996 above, I’m reading with amusement the answers to the questions along with the ax-grinding posts referring to who-knows-what drama from other threads. I’m interested in the answers to the questions as someone who is a potential future ... | |
| Supratek..Cabernet 6SN7 or Cabernet DHT As you know, there’s no cure for that, but there is plenty of support here :)I’ll be very interested to hear your thoughts! I’ve been emailing with Mick, and am on the fence about ordering the same pre, especially with his ‘special’. Just weather... | |
| Supratek..Cabernet 6SN7 or Cabernet DHT Just checking in with the OP, did you get it yet? | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 Pre- Can anyone comment? I heard it with a Parasound power amp, not sure which one, through Vandersteen Quattros in a store (not a ‘regular’ room). Sounded great, put me on a path to investigate adding a tube pre to my setup. The emotional involvement part that I’m missin... | |
| Tube preamps, basic design parameters My Oppo is hooked up HDMI out to a Marantz AV8802a for movies, and balanced analog out to the AVP’s CD input for 2 channel. My plan (I think) is to have the Pre’s only source as the balanced input, and then the AVP’s main outs to the HT input of t... | |
| Tube preamps, basic design parameters So I read Atmasphere’s ‘blurb’ on the MP-3, and it does highlight my question. It mentions upgraded capacitors (copper foil?), and I’ve read about other kinds of capacitors, is there a ‘best’? Do the materials dictate the ‘flavor or quality or rel... | |
| Tube preamps, basic design parameters Yes, the mains (Aerial 7T’s) are driven by an Odssey Stratos + SS amp. Oppo UCD205 being fed Tidal through Roon from a Mac Mini. HT bypass needs to pass the signal when turned off. Mick at Supratek says that’s doable, as do some other brands. Prim... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I’m continuing to follow this thread with great interest, being on a similar journey. Not starting from scratch, but trying to get the most out of what I’ve got, and feeling a good pre, likely a good tube pre, will be my next step. Partly curiosit... | |
| Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price) Aerial 7T , I think they’re just over 10K now. They have grown with me over the 5 years I’ve had them, revealing new information every time I upgrade something in the system. No need/urge to upgrade. | |
| Adding a preamp to HT setup From a usage standpoint, it would need to pass the HT signal even when turned off. The system is used daily for tv/movies, and needs to operate the same way for my wife with the new preamp. I would turn it on to use only for music, and I’m fine wi... | |
| Adding a preamp to HT setup I read a review on a Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp last night, the guy was over-awed by it. I know reviews aren’t what we should buy from, but anyone here know anything about them? |
