| New Preamp arrived.... @twoleftears 100% agreed and an exciting thing as well. I have a set of NOS RCA black plates here and a set of Phillips 7062 on the way. Mullards will be my next set. This is my first piece of tube gear so it’ll be fun to roll tubes.@verdantaudi... | |
| New Preamp arrived.... I spent another hour moving speakers around last night after my last post. I could change the sound some and even got punchier bass where they sit now. Having had zero money to spend I’ve spent a bunch of time playing with toe and front wall dista... | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. @nomayo The Special 40’s are on the top of my list. Do you find the top end to be rolled off a good bit? I admit to liking a somewhat assertive tweeter and the graphs I have seen shows them rolling off on top. | |
| New Preamp arrived.... I eliminated the toe in on the speakers and moved them back 6” closer to the front wall (now at 12”).While I like the improvements I’m looking for more warmth and I know my room is an issue but am starting to feel my speakers just aren’t going to ... | |
| New Preamp arrived.... So the units been on for over 200 hours now usually processing some sounds for ~12 hours a day. I do notice the bass and midbass improvements as well as staging. Detail is very enhanced. The sound is very clean!i have not swapped out tubes or put ... | |
| US made, integrated tube preamp able to handle KT150 tubes? Raven Audio. Built in Texas. Quicksilver Audio in Stockton CA. Give Mike Sanders a call. Nice guy. | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain Thanks. I don’t know where my acquaintance was headed with his question. I feel like my new preamp sounds fuller as I turn it up but I thought that with the passive I had before so..anyway, interesting things to think about here. | |
| New Preamp arrived.... Thanks I feel like it’s filling in nicely. I got a couple of hours to listen yesterday and the sound is warmer and punchier. Today I’m getting kinda of a “halo” around vocals that are tweeter heavy. | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain @mkgus so if one were to do this, Would driving the tubes bring out more of what that particular tube imparts on the sound?yes theoretically? | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain @f917025 I was under the impression though the pin outs are the same you cannot swap 12AT7 for 12AU/X7 tubes.No? | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain While this question isn’t about my preampspecifically, I’ll play devil’s advocate and use it for reference.Lets say the preamp comes stock with 12AT7 JJ’s. | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain @tooblue do you find that driving the tubes harder adds to the sound?the 3B was a preamp I was looking at on the used market after glowing reviews and good words on forums about it. | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! @stevehuff I’m running a tubed preamp into solid state AB amp and the Special 40’s are at the top of my list (others include Canton Ref 9.2 Vento’s and Holt Hill Cionnsaile Monitors).I currently have Focal 807v’s which I really like but not an en... | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain So it sounds like my hypothesis was wrong. Which is fine. And I appreciate the feedback as always. So semi-on topic question then is what’s the point of adding attenuators between amp and preamp? Just curious. | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain @snapsc you are probably right. |
