| Preamp Deal of the Century Tubegroover, do not overlook the regulator tubes.Yes, the Ken Rad VT231's and 52 Syl's are great, but NOS regulator tubes made more of a difference in the sound than the NOS 6SN7's in my Supratek.There are a couple of others here who tried some NO... | |
| Pre-Amp Recommendation Check the thread entitled "Preamp deal of the Century".Supratek is the preamp.I am using a Supratek Chardonnay with WE 350B's and NOS Ken Rad VT231's and it is simply amazing. | |
| Best used dac under $2000 Two words: Audio Note. | |
| Tube Pre Amp with Digital Amp a No No? I am using a Supratek Chardonnay and a PS Audio HCA-2. I love the combination and I tend to agree with Glen, I don't see what would be any different with a digital amp than with any solid state amp. But then again, what do I know.Patrick, does you... | |
| Audio Note-Ref II-CAT Ultimate-or Joule Electra Khaki, the hum problem is probably related to your AC power. I had a transformer hum problem with my Supratek and I chased every solution I could come up with. I finally read about the AH! AC OffSet Killer and as soon as I plugged it in, dead sile... | |
| whatz up with hi-end speakers near walls? Outstanding post Cjr888. The voice of reason.And I don't think Phasecorrect would disagree with your contentions. I think he was simply thinking out loud. | |
| I finally learned why powercords make a difference Aloha Christian,Did you get my email about the digital cable?Aloha,Warren | |
| Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals.. Upgraded Newform 645's. Imaging and holographic sound are stunning. I also own Rogers LS3/5a's with Roger's sub. LS3/5a's are imaging champs and they aren't even in the same league as my Newforms. | |
| ICs for Supratek Pre I have one of Mick's Chardonnay's and I tried a number of IC's. Some better than others, but none that did everything well until I tried HMS.I was skeptical that HMS Gran Finales would be worth the money, but they made as much difference in my sys... | |
| What preamp for my Shahinians? Supratek Cortese | |
| Tube Preamp for Odyssey Stratos Dual Mono? Because you tried the wrong tube preamps! | |
| PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250 To save everyone the trouble of having to go to the PS Audio Forum, I will graciously post my "suck-up" and "obnoxious" post here:Warren Gibson-----------------------------Being a business owner myself, nothing irritates me more than for someone *... | |
| PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250 Kevziek, you don't need my help to discredit you, your own diametrically opposed posts do that.And you say that is not you at AA. Funny thing, I previously did a search and your equipment here and over at AA is coincidentally the same. Just like i... | |
| PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250 Kevziek, what a weak and juvenile response.And I suspect that Paul McGowan and PS Audio would consider your continued diatribes as harassment considering the fact that you continue to slam a product you haven't even heard.You have decided to fabri... | |
| PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250 Kevziek, I do find the following quote a bit strange in light of your rant in this thread about how poorly the HCA-2 measures:---------------09-18-02: Author ?"The accuracy thing bugs me. Nothing out there is accurate. Every amp presents a facsimi... |
