| fire spark in 5AR4 rectifier tube for PrimaLuna Pr I tried switching the tubes, and the spark appears on one of the tube, so, it is in fact the tube has gone bad.So, now, can I just replace one or do I need to replace both with a matching pair? | |
| upgrade suggestion please for Zu Omen def Thanks for all the reply, I think I will get either the Melody and Almarro whatever come up first. The challenge is, they are very hard to cross by, and I missed a couple Almarro in the past. They are gone too quickly ... | |
| upgrade suggestion please for Zu Omen def Does your friend's system use Zu Omen Def or other Zu speaker? | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP There is a mapletree 2 se selling in audiocircle. U may be interested.http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=93617.0 | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP A good tube pre under $500 maybe a bit hard to find. Two budget unit with good review comes to mind are the AES DJH and Mapletree 4 SE. But both of them is in the $700-$800 price range. You can keep an eye on those if you can stretch your budget a... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP I understand every system is different. In my case, I don't have luck in SS preamp. I always feel the sound is too bright and sometimes harsh. I tried upgrade cables, no significant improvement. I tried to change to another SS amp, no luck. I trie... | |
| What the heck is bias anyway? Following on this, is I put more voltage to the tube, how the sound will be impacted? Will I get louder? Or does it allow to get louder? Will I get more bass? Does it related to the power rating in the specification? Like when it say 7 wpc, is it ... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition Just an update on this thread and share with you guys. I am not convinced that my Preamp with such high output impedance (2800ohm for mid and treble, 11.5k ohm at 20Hz!!) will match with F3 with input impedance of 10k.I decided to give the AES SE-... | |
| What do you think about the AES SE-1? No one has comment on SE-1? | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition Holy smoke, it is SOLD!!!! | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition ok, based on my research, if the input impedance of power amp is not high enough (10x of the output impedance of preamp), then the system will be more prone to sonic distortion. This is because there is a reduction of signal from preamp to power a... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition Gopher, what is the output impedance of your Shindo? I know F3 is a very good amp and good match with Zu based on all the reviews and comments, and I am almost set on it until I realized the input impedance. The rule of thumb is that it should be ... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition I hope I can audition them too, but it is not possible. I am in Vancouver, Canada. I don't think there is anyone in Vancouver carry Zu and PrimaLuna. So, I can only audition different amps but not the whole system. So, I mainly rely on my internet... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition Oh ... I just found out that the F3 has an input impedance of 10k Ohm, which is too low for my PrimaLuna Preamp with output impedance of 2800 ohm!!! I almost overlook this part. Gee ... So, the F3 is not good for me then? Would other First Watt pr... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition I am very interested in the Mini Torii too. I think it looks very good, better than a F3 clone. And I am using a SS now, so, I am tempted to try a tube SET even though the F3 sound very close to a tube SET. One thing is, the Mini Torii is much mor... |
