| tube pre amp or tube amp Yeah, unclear what the OP wants to accomplish. I would probably try Lamm hybrid power amp. Lamm is first of all famous for its power amps. I would not replace VAC with Pass, maybe with another VAC. And I would certainly have and keep tube preamp. | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? I could be that nut and I would win, but for the price and much less I will take Otari two track any moment. Top of the line Nakamichi 1000 ZXL in perfect condition costs more that $2395 and 1000 ZXL Limited much more if you can find it. A few Tan... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? That's unexpected. Could you say more why you prefer X series ? | |
| Has anyone found a good way to listen to speakers on the used market before buying them? It is difficult to audition used equipment especially speakers, let alone discontinued models. One reason why there are so many for sale - people buy unheard and then have to sell. Selling speakers can be a pain, depends on what you sell, the pric... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Does everyone prefer class A Pass amps overall ? Both current and older. | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? Gryphon does. I once talked to their distributor, inquiring about possible 220 to 110 volts conversion. The lady said they would not work on any not North America voltage units and that I would have to ship it to Denmark. She also said they would ... | |
| Preamps with separate L/R volume controls Dual volume control is an idea that I really like. It is technically a much more purist approach than balance control, I understand. | |
| Preamps with separate L/R volume controls Aesthetix ? Not sure, though. | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? They are not expensive compared to Gryphon, FM Acoustics and other Swiss brands, or even some Japanese, I guess.Yeah, those lights would bother me, that's BS. Big and heavy, all good amps are big and heavy and inefficient.Not enough top end resolu... | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? But yes, though there is never a guarantee, if you want as much piece of mind as possible long term, I think companies like FM Acoustics, Nagra and Accuphase will give you that, especially if you are an original owner. I don't know how good their ... | |
| Not Enjoying My Turntable Aligning cartridge by ear is theoretically possible but would take a lot of time unless you got very lucky. I thought about it but abandoned this idea.If someone doesn't tolerate ticks and pops and crackles and scraping and whatever at all, better... | |
| Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile? I could've mentioned positive points as well but I knew others would.As for whether or not or both it is good or bad time to be inna, it is a fascinating subject but outside this discussion.One thing is certain, you can be audiophile in any time p... | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? dguitar, I hear you. But we are talking about transistor amps so I won't go there. What preamp do you use with your VAC ? Phono stage ? Oh yes, and what speakers ? | |
| Vinyl***What If*** schubert, I thought I would ask. Do you prefer London or Berlin Philharmonic ? Never heard live either, both sound good to me, but different. | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? Keep us informed of your experience with the Diablo, I think many are interested. Whatever else it might be, Gryphon is a very distinct and very high class voice. It also demonstrates what transistor equipment is capable of, even hard core tube pu... |
