| Drink of choice for serious listening? I didn't say I enjoyed Laghroaig, it is harsh, but I think it does have a character. Lagavulin was good as I remember, tasted it once. You know, sometimes you drink what your friends and relatives bring, but I no longer buy anything myself but Fre... | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? 2005 vintage from France, now I know, thank you, wcfeil.No-one drinks Californian wine around here..or port wine. 18 years old Glenlivet is definitely better than 12 years old, by far.10 years old Laphroaig is unusual, that's for sure. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? This thread is about tube preamps, let's stay with the subject. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Yeah, comparing is a big problem. Besides, I don't go to dealers asking for audition if I intend to buy used, not from them, I just don't. I would for a reasonable fees, though. What's more, taking into account reel to reel deck and what Ralph sai... | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Did anyone compare directly the phono stage of Atma-Sphere MP3 preamp with some of the mentioned or other separate phonos ? Who else makes tube preamps with excellent phono that could compete with Ralph's design ? | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? What do I listen while drinking ? ...many things.Prefer red whine. I am not good at French names, what was that, the bottle I was given as a gift ?.. 2001 vintage baron Rothschild Bordeaux ? Yeah, that was a great whine. To my surprise I can easil... | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? Sonus Faber Extrema speakers, original Mark Levinson Class A amps ? | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? For serious listening, not serious listening or not listening at all - French wine only. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Ralph, thank you, you've been most helpful. No need to use single ended with Gryphon. I bet, this would an excellent match. | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... What Music Room sells appears to be mostly overpriced, sure.My impression regarding haves and have-nots among those who participate is mixed and complicated. Besides, I think that some are just not in the mood to buy for various reasons. But that'... | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? I would think that 55db gain is way too high for most or all MM and MI cartridges. Usually it’s around 40db ? But maybe Ralph’s preamps can be customized to change the gain.I am a little surprised than no-one mentioned Lamm and VAC so far, though ... | |
| One Only Please- Your Favorite Track from which album and Artist please Recorded well...that's tough.Depends on your standards.Alright, John McLaughlin with Shakti - India. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? MP-3's phono seems to be MC only with 55 db gain. That's not what I would be using. The system would be old ways - open reel deck and MM, either modern or vintage. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Ralph, thank you, I get the picture. Having your preamp with phono would be an excellent choice indeed. I hope it is versatile enough to work well with various power amps, tube hybrid or transistors.Or, how about this ? MP3 preamp into Gryphon Dia... | |
| power cord affects on video? ebm sells his top of the line Furutech cables for $999 or less. Might work well with your set up, don't really know, it's a guess. But you like Furutech. |
