Questions from a Tube Preamp newbie JUST A NOTE ABOUT CRYOSET...Ron Sheldon is very ill and has sold off his tubes and other gear. A terrible shame. I have had great performance from his cryo'd tubes. Unfortunately bad things do happen to good people.😔 | |
PS Audio P5 - leave on or power off when done listening? I have my entire system plugged into my P5 save for the two powered subwoofers. I never turn my P5 off. In fact, I leave my system powered up at all times so it is ready to rock when I am. | |
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades OP - You are getting sound advice from those posting above. Trust your ears, BUT... settle in and listen for a l o n g session. Which speakers make you want to stay or keep a smile on your face. I have no experience with the Kefs but have owned ... | |
What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? Classical - Jascha Heifetz specifically. Every piece he played he made it his own. | |

Stein Music H2 Acoustic Harmonizer - Any experience with this?? @donjr First off I have no idea how the Omega E Mats work. Tim Mrock, the proprietor of PPT isn't telling...yet. There is a very long thread here where it is discussed by many many folks who have used them in their systems. The best info. curren... | |
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @mac48025. To answer your question, according to Krissy, apparently so. "The Gate" is coming..... | |
Tube info I tried the Mullard 4003 tubes years ago sourced from Kevin Deal. They sounded fine (a bit rich) but became noisy faster than expected from experience with other tube brands.I have been using Ron Sheldon's Cryoset Gold Lion 12AU7's but since Ron... | |
Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? @mechans +1. Everything I've ever read about the Cardas Golden cables indicates that they were well named. I can't speak to the tube situation but what you recommend makes sense.OP - Agree with @donjr give Rogue a call. No one knows their gear... | |
Kudos to Dan Wright of Modwright I have found Dan to be very forthright, honest and dedicated to his craft. When my 9.0 outboard power supply for my modified SACD player had an issue, he not only repaired it, but modified the circuit so that in case it suffered another catastroph... | |
Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? Any particular reason you're taking the DNA .05 out of your system?
