| Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp Marantz SA-14 Ver2, Chardonnay, Perreaux E220, Hyperion 938. | |
| Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp Ait, I also bought my first tube preamp - Supratek Chardonnay - without ever hearing it and it was simply impressive and fills my living room with beautiful music. And following expert advise from Ecclectique (thank you!), I replaced the stock wit... | |
| Looking for a new speaker: VR 4 Jr vs. Hps 938 Hi DaltonHave you made your choice yet - what did you choose?Now that more people have heard and compared both speakers, please share your views. Thanks. | |
| Von Scheikert VR4jr in a small room . I measured my room again - it's actually 11' x 20'. Actually I am keen to get either the VR4jr or Hyperion 938 or other floor stand speakers. | |
| Von Scheikert VR4jr in a small room . Hi GoatwussIf I use monitor speakers on stands, it would be kids-unfriendly, i.e. my kids might knock them down some day. | |
| Von Scheikert VR4jr in a small room . Is 19' x 10' listening room (sitting 11' away along long wall) considered small or mid size room? Would VR4jr be suitable? | |
| New H20 Signature S250 I know everyone participating in this thread is very excited about the H2O. I have also heard a lot about H2O and other digital amps. How are they compared with the Antique Sound Lab Hurricane / 1009 mono blocks? I loved the ASL and they are prese... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century David:[/Have you spent much seat time with the preamp in the low gain setting?]Yes, I did but found that the sound was weaker, more backward and image lacked substance compared with the high gain setting. **sigh ** I wrote to Mick about it and he ... | |

| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 I have narrowed my choices to three speakers: VR-4jr, Gallo Ref 3 and Hyperion 938. I've heard the Gallo and didn't like it... maybe it wasn't well broken in at 50 hours.Please share your experience, if you've heard the Hyperion, how it compares w... | |
| What are TCXO and Superclock? I plan to mod my Marantz SA-14 v2 CD/SACD player and has two options: use a TCXO (available locally) or a Superclock (need to import).If I understand Audioengr's point correctly, because TCXO has minimal/no circuit to minimize jitter, Superclock i... | |
| Is the Marantz SA14v.2 a good player I've owned the SA-14 v2 for 2 years. Overall, it's a musical, detailed player which presents good soundstage and imagining. Did a comparison with a Meridien 508 last year for a week, the Meridien was marginally more detailed but less dynamic. I've... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Some updates... this time from Mick. He wrote:"... you should be able to use 6F6G no problem. The thing is that 6F6G are at least 50 years old and there is no gaurantee that the tubes are as new - most tube testing is very vauge to say the least, ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi BwhiteYes, these are the Brimar (typo mistake) and they are NOS from TubeDepot (perfectly matching pair @3080 uMHOS according to TubeDepot). My Chardonnay has low/high gain switches on the top panel and 6-position switch at the rear panel. The ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century When I wrote about the problem, the stock regulators were already back in place and there was no noise, even at maximum gain. Current setup (no noise): NOS rectifier, stock regulators, NOS 6SN7. I also experienced no noise with this config: NOS re... |
