| Tube preamp with Adcom amp I have decided to go with CJ. There are two CJ preamp near me that I am interested in but cant decide. The two preamp are a PV7 or PV10AL. Both seem to be in great condition. What would be the difference? Thanks | |
| Tube preamp with Adcom amp Again, thanks for all the recommendations. I am leaning towards the CJ but I have not decided yet. My ideal is to get a warmer sound without losing articulate tight bass. | |
| Tube preamp with Adcom amp Thanks for all the recommendations. As for remote, that would be a plus but don't really need one. | |
| Tube preamp with Adcom amp My budget for a tube preamp to try is around 2k. | |
| Do you adjust your subwoofer I have a Hsu Research STF-2 which has worked fine for me with the Vandersteen 2ci. I have tune the sub where is seamlessly with the 2ci to a point where is like a house curve response. This usually a boost in the bass region and a downward slope t... | |
| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K Thank you all for all the recommendations. I am intrigued that their are quite a few within my budget that have tube preamplifier. Honestly I really like the tube sound but for the type of music I listen to might not work well and that is mostly r... | |
| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K Again thanks for all the recommendations. @soix i had the RC-980BX preamp and to my current RC-995, there was a huge difference in sound quality, especially in the bass region. It has a much better, tighter bass with better definition. The mid an... | |
| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K Thanks for the responses! It seems tubes is the way to go for preamp but will it match well with the B&K amp? | |
| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? I have the 2ci they do sound different from other speakers I had but I would say is is more of a natural, realistic sound with a warm touch. It is all personal preference. Room layout and speakers position are crucial for the these models. I have ... | |
| Flat frequency response I honestly prefer the house curve in my room. This is where the the bass region is above the reference level and trending at a downward slope where the up end of the frequency response(20k) is probably at about 6db/oct. In linear scale, theoretica... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? Thanks for all responses! Some of the posts I do agree with stress on components and also turning on and off on certain amps. Logically, keeping electrical components like capacitors in PS keeps charged in a steady state. | |
| Replacing current sub with another @gdnrbob I dont understand by what you mean certain frequencies get attenuated? I am assuming you are referring to room nodes. | |
| Replacing current sub with another @gdnrbob Thanks for response. I will keep in mind about the 2wq. What limitation are you referring to? | |
| Replacing current sub with another @gdnrbob I was thinking of the 2wq awhile back but I never able to find one in my area. The HSU sub does pretty good in my system but I wanted a little more control. Yes I do agree DSP does introduce some signal latency from encoding and decoding... | |
