| ZL Technologies Cables from Korea, from the lead designer of Allnic Audio Labs. Overpriced, I heard. | |
| Phono preamp suggestions I like Sutherland. The least expensive is $900 new. I don't know about "dramatically" and it can be subjective but it should be significantly better. Should match well with Pass too. Good cables and power cord are important, as always. | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Big performance. Big money usually follows. | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. VAC preamp + amp appear to win by the vote majority so far. I remember a thread I started years ago regarding VAC and Lamm power amps. Again, VAC won but not by much.What do you think of Allnic ? It is quite popular. | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. Believe it or not, I have Purist Aquila cord, designed for digital, on PS Audio regenerator and it works real good there. And the previous owner used it with his Studer A810 open reel deck with great success ! Interesting cord, I would say. | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. Yes, I forgot to mention Jorma from Sweden. Never heard it, though, popular with Jadis and Vitus owners if I remember right.I have twenty years old Redgun RGi120 integrated, that retailed for I think $1350 at the time. It took Purist Dominus Revis... | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Anyone familiar with Wavac or Komuro or Audio Tekne ? | |
| How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment. Ralph, thank you, but I think I'll go with Studer A810 or A807 or Otari when the time is right. Do Studers actually record and sound better than Otari 5050 ? Otari also usually have quarter track reproduction head, this may or may not be helpful i... | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. Yes, I am aware of the Ypsilon, and it is definitely one more top brand to consider. However, I prefer this deep powerful slightly on the dark side of neutral sophisticated and dynamic sound created by Flemming Rasmussen. Besides, Ypsilon Phaethon... | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. fsmithjack, thank you, I appreciate your offer. Unfortunately, I am not quite financially prepared for the Gryphon at the moment. I also consider used Gryphon separates for the future, even if 20 years old ones. Now that would be incredible. I am ... | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. Yeah.. | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. That's good, many choices. You calmed me down. What about tube Japanese preamps ?And if having to choose one company that makes both great preamps and power amps, besides I am sure some European solid state, what would your choice be ? VAC and CAT ? | |
| Looking for more transparency. Elizabeth confused audio system and garbage bin. It happens. | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. fsmithjack, out of curiosity, if you don't mind, how much did you pay for the Soulution 530 ? How old is It ?For $55k it should be a hell of an integrated. Gryphon Diablo 300, something that I would want is $19.5k or so with optional phono stage. | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Well, first I meant great not just excellent, and second I meant compared to their power amps. Sure, Lamm are excellent. |
