| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @yogiboy I reached out to Mike to verify I can run a lower power tube. Hopefully gear back soon. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @yogiboy are you still using a QS phono stage? | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @jjss49 I’ve heard that about Don. Mike is the same way. If I were to add a tubed power amp it would probably be one of Don’s although Mike’s are also highly regarded. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @tvad I had a Freya + Vidar combo and was super not impressed. The Freya was untouchably hot and the tubes included were junk. I tried to make it all work but ultimately sent it all back. Seems like they have gotten it figured out but but I don’t... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @sounds_real_audio already asked him about it. He said his design is good and not to mess with it. I may add my Schiit Sys in between the QS and the Odyssey to pull gain down and quell the start up POP when the QS comes on (Odyssey recommends lea... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? As far as the QS is concerned, myprevious was a Schiit SYS. So while I think the QS sounds good I don’t have any frame of reference. The high gain of the Odyssey made the Sys seem logical (though it was a stop gap). The SYS. Worked well and sounde... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? I’m sending one tube back to him. He will make it right no doubt. The nice thing about the Philips is that it rolls a little topend off so there’s less hiss hahaha (my speakers are 99db). I do like the aphillips but the RCA are still my faves. I’... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @jjss49 the Phillips in there now are completely quiet. I would add the QS and the Odyssey Candela tube preamp have nearly identical specs according to the website. @yogiboy and testimonials from others persuaded me to go QS over Odyssey. The ga... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @jperry Brent Jesse, VivaTubes and Tubemonger. The first tubes I rolled in were front Brent Jesse, the now dead set of RCA’s and a set of Phillips 7062 which is all I have that don’t make me want to commit murder. Viva took their tubes back and t... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @yogiboy The ones with solid disc getters? | |
| Odyssey owners chime in @arcticdeth what preamp are you running with your Odyssey amps? | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @millercarbon thanks I will look into the JJ’s. I believe the QS came with them and while they did sound good overall they seemed to have a bump in the midrange that my speakers also seem to have. Might be too much but will look. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @noromance thanks I’ll lookAt upscale. Are there certain places that check these things rather than just machines? Is Upscale your go-to? | |
| What's Your Advice, Used Audio Research LS15, Or Freya+? Freya is good but not great. ARC all the way. | |
| Just bought a Hegel H390 Integrated @roxy54 hey whatever you have to tell yourself. I’m no codependent. |
