| Experience with Modwright products? @jbhiller, did you have a chance to compare your Vince t7 with Modwright LS99 preamp? And if so, what is your impression? | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? The Octave HP 700 SE preamp is as good as it gets. I was going to get one, but the waiting time was too long at the time, and bought the Accuphase solid state instead. | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Troll question. How old are you? | |
| LUXMAN C-900U Question @rpeluso, I really appreciate your understanding | |
| LUXMAN C-900U Question Sorry guys, I stand corrected, my cables are Nordost Frey 2, not the Heimdall. | |
| LUXMAN C-900U Question Hi folks, I’ve decided to get the Accuphase, and just a few hours ago received the Accuphase C-2150 preamp without auditioning. It took about two months, but worth a wait. To me it’s better than Luxman-c900u, and the “sterility in sound” is a Lux... | |
| Octave HP-700se and Accuphase C-2150 Preamp Question Appreciate your input. Unfortunately can’t audition and there is a 20% restocking fee. This is a surreal situation, can’t find anything I want here in the US, even though the budget is pretty high for my standards. | |
| LUXMAN C-900U Question Sounds pretty good, very transparent and neutral, although I hear a hint of sterility with all my power amps. | |
| LUXMAN C-900U Question Hi there, it’s a store demo, they simply gave me wrong remote, honest mistake, but still I can’t test a couple of features that are only on the remote. Thanks for your reply. | |
| Acoustic Zen - blown tweeter - out of business? replacement? Any news on Robert Lee, folks? I also ordered a pair of tweeters for my Crescendos last week, but no contacts since, no phone, no email, he doesn’t even charge my card. He (Robert) is a man of his word, and as of now I’m kind of worried about his ... | |
| How is the Pass Labs X150.5 at low volume? @audioconnection , I don’t have a ARC amp, and never will, I’m looking for class A Pass amp, and the input impedance is 50/100 Kohms, SE/Balanced, so kinda thought you’re implying that their (Pass) input impedance is on the lower side, wanted to c... | |
| How is the Pass Labs X150.5 at low volume? @audioconnection , when you said “the lower input impedance will load down your preamp” did you mean amplifier’s low input impedance?I’m in the market for a class A amp and considering the Pass stuff, hence the question. | |
| Tube question: any sonic difference in 6SN7 vs 6H30 vs 6H80 in the amp's signal position? “:) a bit of hyperbole, I'm sure”Just a little bit :)To be honest, considering the humongous amount of lemons, they had to make much more than needed, especially when those were used in the military industry. I lived there for 35 years, and never ... | |
| Tube question: any sonic difference in 6SN7 vs 6H30 vs 6H80 in the amp's signal position? @atmasphere, I realize this thread is old, but I think folks who use 6C33C tubes must know that those are going to be around for a long time, since now New Sensor is the only company that has a huge tested supply in the US. The information came fr... | |
| 100W+ solid-state amps known for beautiful mids Try used BAT vk-255se. It has all of the attributes you’ve mentioned.I have one in my collection, and been enjoying it immensely for many years. |
