| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Fla - not yet.I am busy upgrading my power cords from EG Epiphanys to Stealth Dreams. And I just installed V-Caps in my DAC and preamp so I have been busy with other things. But I still want to audition the GG Revelations at some point, including ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Sorry about the typos and grammatical errors. Obviously didn't proof this one very carefully! Anyone know if there is an edit function? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I owe Ecclectique and apology.For quite some time he has posted his preference for the Tung Sol 6SN7 RP. I have posted in reply that in my system the EH 6SN7 was the equal of the Tung Sol.Well, recently my right channel EH 6SN7 began spitting and ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Norm,I'm not sure, but I don't think the post was really meant for you. Re-read it carefully and I think you may come to the same interpretation that I did. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tbg,Why the irrelevant post here on the Supratek thread?Nevermind...it was a rhetorical question. Enjoy your sound "manipulating" preamp. I'll stick to my preamp that doesn't use some Rube Goldberg contraption to alter the signal with nonsensical,... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Sorry for not replying to any emails about the V-Caps or related posts here, but I am in the mountains of Montana with very limited access to the internet. Will reply when I return. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Sorlowski,I'm not sure which caps you have in your preamp. My Chardonnay had the stock cap Mick was using about two years ago. He then told me that he found the Auricaps to be better. I installed them. They were better. (I am hesitant to point you... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I replaced the 1.0uf caps (only two in my version of the Chardonnay).They cost $176 a piece if you buy two of them.http://v-cap.com/tefloncapacitors.htmlI installed them myself in less than an hour. Relatively easy to do if you can solder. You sim... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I just replaced the 1.0 uf caps in my Chardonnay with V-Caps (teflons). Wow, wow, wow!I had previously replaced the stock Alps pot with a DACT attenuator. Rather large improvement.I also rewired direct from the CD input to the DACT (by-passing the... | |
| Stealth Varidig Sextet Break In Period? Any update on this thread?I am considering a Stealth Varidig Sextet. Anyone have final notes on the comparison with the VD cable. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Darealjaydee,Audio Metallurgy and Steve may have pockets as deep as Bill Gates, but they don't sell a drop in the bucket in cables as compared to Monster, MIT, Transparent, Nordost, etc. They *are* small fries in the cable world. But that has noth... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? "If one is willing to invest a great deal of money and has some experience as a metallurgist a wire manuafacturer will build wire for you.Percentages of Gold,Silver and Copper can vary along with the purity of the materials.If you are willing to p... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? It was asked earlier in this thread if the wire in the Gabriels was the same wire that Audio Metallurgy uses in their cables. Someone posted it was not the same.I wonder how the poster knows this to be a fact. Just curious.I have tried the Audio M... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Dale, what is a ballpark price for the A's and F's? | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre Sorry Ikkyu2. I thought you meant my CD source.I purchased my WE 350B's from Andy at Vintage Tube Services. I have purchased almost all of my NOS tubes from Andy. As I recall I paid $500 for the pair, but they should last for years. |
