| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? If you have to stick with the 12at7 I would order the phono stage graded tubes from vintage tube service, Andy really does test them for microphonics. | |
| Why is black so popular for components? Seems like tube equipment has more color choices than solid state. | |
| Newbie, need advice. Why in the world are they making such powerful outputs. Maybe to drive an amplifier directly without the use of a preamp. | |
| I have been a stickler about keeping power cables away from signal cables...on equipment ? I would think if cable vibrations were a problem then the big heat sinks of solid state amps would be an even bigger problem. Maybe that's why tube gear isn't as bright sounding, just a thought if everything makes a difference. | |
| Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity I like the idea of active speakers with the amplifiers and active crossover not inside the speaker enclosure, it seems like a better idea because you could isolate the vibrations better. A passive crossover can also be used in a line level position. | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC What's the deal with this live microphone feed, doesn't it still come through speakers or headphones and amplifiers. I think all audio equipment colors the sound. | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS I don't understand why you can't leave a tube preamp on all the time, I leave mine on all the time, it doesn't seem to need tube replacement very often. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? I would give andy at vintage tube service a call and see what he recommends. He has tubes rated for phono stages that might work better in a high gain setup. | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. Odd that there is limited info available about internal design flow of a preamp. Maybe a diagram showing signal flow.this would be of interest to many. or maybe not.Maybe if you did some research you could figure out the signal flow, or maybe not. | |
| I DON'T GET IT!!!!!! I believe the usb port on the node2 is for diagnosis not for output. Try a coaxial cable. | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? You should take the advice of myself and several other posts about changing from the avr as a preamp and get a dedicated preamp, that will be your biggest hardware upgrade. | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? I have apogee duetta 2 speakers, a krell amp and a bluesound node 2, I used a marantz sr7007 for a preamp and then an adcom preamp both sounded really bad harsh and not detailed. I bought a tube preamp and now I have exactly what you described, th... | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? I agree with the posts that are telling you to get a dedicated preamp, that should be your first priority before anything else is done. | |
| Poor Fritz Kenjit if you can complain this much about the speaker industry, I wonder what you think of the recording Industry? | |
| Poor Fritz Kenjit I believe these high end speaker manufacturers make speakers for profit and not for practice like you would be doing. |
