| upgrade from Devore Nines You are welcome! I heard the Perspective 2 Graphenes at an audio show and they sounded quite good...but at $15k, they are out of my price. | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like arturgorniak:I also have the Super Nines and I was wondering about the bass response using the Luxman 509x since it has a damping factor of 350? When I owned the Devore 0/93's I auditioned an amp that had a damping factor around 270 and I felt th... | |
| upgrade from Devore Nines I went from the 0/93's to the Super Nines (last March) and it was well worth the upgrade! The S9's are more extended in both frequency extremes and more dynamic. Imaging is better as well. For those contemplating getting new 0'93's, I say just mov... | |
| Tube life Likely gradual unless a tube starts going bad. You will know when that happens. Most hybrid amps have tubes in the input (which last a long time) and solid state outputs. Check out Brent Jesse or Upscale Audio for tube options. I would wait a whi... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? I only have about 50 hours on my Deep Core and I am very impressed so far! The soundstage has grown quite a bit, depth wise and horizontally, while the bass response has also improved. My system is quieter and low leveling listening has become eve... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Kudos to Walter for shipping out the Deep Cores and the 1800's to make everyone whole. I don't think he was obligated (legally) to do this as he only purchased the Core Power assets and none of the liabilities. I wonder how many of the other poten... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Walter contacted me about Deep Core and said to expect it by mid-July. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Likewise...congrats Walter and best of luck to you in this new venture!Glenn | |

| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Sounds like a great amp! I haven't seen it yet on their website, but I am concerned by the low input impedances into the balanced inputs of their other amps. Some of them are only 1K ohms into a balanced input, but 50K into the RCA inputs. I don't... | |
| Tavish Design Adagio Owners Thanks Rob, I may have to give that a try.Glenn | |
| Tavish Design Adagio Owners I am using a Kiseki Purple Heart N.S. which has a .5mv output. The Adagio has plenty of gain for that cart. | |
| Tavish Design Adagio Owners Thanks Rob, I do like it a lot! The tubes substitutions are based on Scott's recommendations below: "In my own personal Adagio I use Sylvania 6267 for the two EF86 in the second stage (6267 was the US designation for the EF86). NOS 6267 are gettin... | |
| Tavish Design Adagio Owners I did them all at once, since I really didn't feel like doing one or 2 tubes at a time. I also opted for the upgraded transformers when I ordered the Adagio. Scott said that they improved the bass response among other things. Yeah, I will likely n... | |
| Tavish Design Adagio Owners Hi,I rolled in some GE 5751 Blackplates (3 micas), a GE 12BH7 in place of the 12AU7/ECC82 and a pair of 6267/EF86 Telefunkens. Pretty much improvement all across the board. They are also very quiet, perhaps even more so than the stock JJ's.BTW - I... |
