| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @mrdecibel SInce you mentioned it on the last page I have been playing with configs on their site. I like that they want input and out impedance (I realize I don't know some of those for my gear). I would absolutely consider that one, especially ... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @oddiofyl I am also considering Supratek as it has adjustable gain and the Sachs has even more than my current (16db which is way too much). | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @oddiofyl yes well originally Don's preamp was the end game. So I feel like I'll wait and see if that happens, the question is what to do in the meantime. Gotta be better than waiting on Decware haha | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @abd1 funny I,too was looking at the Kinki preamp. I’ve been super interested in the Holo Serene (used). As for Don Sachs, I’m on the list but there’s no guarantee my number gets called. He’s semi retired and so he mentioned possibly next spr... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @oddiofyl actually yes! I do have a set of Mullard 6201’s that have lasted. I replaced them with the 4024’s as I wanted a slightly warmer sound. Why would the 6201’s be so much more robust though? I’m genuinely curious. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @tyray Its more or less how REL does it. I like the change. As for the Quicksilver I don't know where to go after. If I knew a solid state that sounded the same I'd have it already. My fear with passives is sounding thin, otherwise I have my eye ... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @tyray My subs are now pig tailed off the speaker terminals of my mains. So banana from amp to lower posts -> spade jumpers to upper posts -> these cables banana from upper posts to RCA in on the subs. https://www.amazon.com/TXK-Gold-Plat... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @rob2rc21 I have the Quicksilver now (non remote) and it blasts through tubes in 6 months, hence this thread. If I could find a solution I'd keep it. Otherwise its $100 in NOS tubes every 6 months (although the current ones are dumping after 30 h... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @tyray I completely understand what you are talking about, but just to be clear The Truth is not a passive preamp, it is an active preamp with no gain. About 6 months ago I sold my (2) Power Sound Audio V1801’s subwoofers and ain’t nobody more ... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @mikem Its all part of their mystique.. Yeah well about 40% of the total listening time I do in a year is done in the next 2 weeks and so now I risk have no music whatsoever. Seems like its not worth the BS, I don't know. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @tyray It’s hard to explain until you here it. It’s an after effect of the sublime, spooky quietness of The Truth preamp. Owners of The Truth preamp know what I’m talking about. Yeah and that has me curious but it seems like people mention p... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition The last few days my system has sounded amazing. For whatever reason this morning there’s static in the left speaker. These tubes have maybe 20 hours in them. Awesome. I give up on tubes. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @mrdecibel interesting. I don’t claim to be technically proficient but I’m curious as to what it was about the transformer coupled designs you didn’t like. as for “do I want a passive” the answer is I dont know. I, personally don’t care about fi... | |
| Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs @russ69 Nothing wrong with this. Although 6 db might be enough but as long as you can get the volume you need/want it's fine. My line stage cooks tubes so tubes issues come fast. I do have a set of 6db I want to throw in but I never get a... | |
| Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs The Klipsch don't need power, but they love power. My neighbors aren't happy about this obviously. I played my Heresy IV's with a Decware (2.3wpc) and it sounded great. My Odyssey gives it grunt and propulsion. |
