| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? Rleff, yes I did consider those as well as the Wolcott P400's. I could not afford both the A1's and those big tube amps right now. I decided to try a used Sunfire Signature for $1500 and I was and continue to be amazed.I doubt any SS amp could mak... | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? Atmasphere is 100% correct. I tried 200 and 300 watt SS amps on my Soundlabs and needed more power! My other SS amps rated up to 300 watts per side started to sound tilted up in the highs and a little bass shy as I turned up the volume over 80db o... | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? My Soundlab A1 speakers seem to really open up with a very powerful SS amp. I am currently using a Sunfire Signature 600 x 2 amp that is amazing on this speaker. I know some will think no way a Carver amp can sound this amazing with SL speakers, b... | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? Sorry to all, my post above was meant for another thread. All good preamps here and all good comments :-) | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? I also agree with the last two posters on the nature of sharing on this site. However, I also think one's comments should be reasoned and reasonable. We can all say what we want and I don't want to change that. Yes, we even have the freedom to say... | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? If dynamics is what you want and a better overall sound compared to the likes of the AR 26 then the Dude is a must. I have compared the Dude to the Lightspeed, Joule 150 and many, many other high dollar preamps (read my review here).These other pr... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I will say that Paul's power cord is a must on his gear. They really help the Dude and his amps come to life and fully reveal all these great pieces have to offer. | |
| the odyssey khartago Electrocompaniet amps will do exactly what you desire.Based on your comments they make SS amps right in your sweet spot. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I used to own Paul's IC and they are a steal and wonderful. I mean wonderful! I now own some Fusion Romance IC's that are also top notch. I say both are top contenders with the Fusion having a touch more beauty and warmth while the TRL IC's are mo... | |
| Throwing your gear under the bus Puchased and sold Merlin VSM speakers 3 times! | |
| Solid State Power Amps That Sound Most Like Tubes? Bob Carver Sunfire Signature amp does sound very good indeed. Lots of warmth and body. I was very, very surprised how great the Sunfire Signature 600 x 2 amp is. | |
| Solid State Power Amps That Sound Most Like Tubes? If what you mean by tube sound is warm and inviting for long listening periods with no listener fatigue, then Electrocompaniet is what what you want.Also Monarchy hybrid amps would work great. Problem is all tube amps sound different. Some are ver... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I like the Dude plugged into the wall usually, however right now I have it plugged into a BPT 3.5 Ultra to great effect.Stronger bass and better focus. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I did try a Lessloss cord and must share that the TRL cord was FAR better on the Dude. Not even close. The Lessloss sounded rather dull and lost focus and clarity compared to the TRL cord.The Lessloss sounded better on my CD player, but did not wo... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Agear is right. I use TRL power cords also. |
