| Looking for speaker recommendations "I prefer to buy used and am looking in the $2-5K range.My current short-list for speakers is-Legacy-Signature SEDeVore-Gibbon XAny advice/recommendations would be appreciated." Sorry to break it to you, but you will never find a used Gibbon-X wi... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Check out the Devore speakers...such as the O/93's ($8500) and the O/96's ($1250.00). Each has that "full tactile" sound, plus they have a small footprint and are very efficient and easy to drive. For something a bit more "linear" sounding, the ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? I owned the VTPH 2 several years ago (not sure if it as the "A"version) and while I thought it sounded superb on classical and jazz, I missed that "bite" and leading edge on transients with rock music. I felt it sounded a bit "polite" and since mo... | |
| "Original" equipment vs. upgraded equipment "In this example I would say that though the upgraded unit may sound the same, the original 75SE will have greater resale value on the used market.Why? Because in the upgrade process, only certain parts are being upgraded, not the whole amp. So if... | |
| "Original" equipment vs. upgraded equipment Thanks! I have seen equipment from ARC, Ayre, CJ, etc., where the seller proudly states that the gear is original and not an upgrade from the company. I wonder what those companies would have to say about that? I made a similar post on Audio Circ... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations? Hi, I am using a MW LS100 with phono and the sound can definitely be tailored to your taste by swapping the 6SN7 tubes and/or the phono tubes as well. I will also be selling this pre shortly, so if you are interested, let me know. I have the Russi... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? "I've already traded emails with Chris J. at Parts Connexion, and he expressed willingness to have me send in the Job for evaluation of a further upgrade path. I'm seriously considering doing so, as I don't possess the expertise to tackle such an ... | |
| Preamp for Job 225 Hi,I haven't checked in on this forum for awhile. I am using the stock stp/se, however, I have been considering trying the Underwood or W4S upgrades. OTH, I have also been changing cables, so my bank account is a bit low right now. | |
| Preamp for Job 225 Almost forgot...Job will have a preamp out by June 15 and obviously that will be a good pairing. | |
| Preamp for Job 225 I use the W4S STP/SE and the pairing sounds great! BTW, the input impedance is 61k, so I would not characterize it as "low". Also, I am seriously thinking about going for the Stage 2 upgrade. | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? The Job is not lean...if one detects any leanness, then it is likely an up stream component. It is however very transparent.Interesting how some people have opinions about a product that they have never heard and also like to provide the (abbrevia... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? I use that combination and it sounds great! | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? I have no idea what the "quoted 9 watt amp" was, nor have I ever listened to the Nines with anything less than a 55 watt tube amp, that weighed 65 lbs. I also used a 100 watt hybrid amp for a while and the Job was simply better in vitually every p... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Hi, I'm using the JOB to power Devore Nines and it is the most dynamic and best bass that I have heard from these speakers! Great soundstaging and imaging as well. I can imagine that paired with the Orangutans, these qualities would be even greate... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Hi,I'm using the W4S STP-SE with the Job 225 and it is a great sounding combo! I may also try the Stage 1 upgrade next year.Glenn |
