| Aria phono preamp - Mike Elliot blog Hello Kub, oh yes I am excited...very much so. I too was surprised of all the variations of the WV. And it was great to see the remote volume will be supported as this was one thing Mike had written that he would not provide.The line-stage-only op... | |
| Mono blocks are better or Stereo power amp? As per Audio Feil's comment quite frankly my Hurricane's outperformed a $11,000.00 very famous American made Stereo amplifier which by all accounts should have wiped the floor with the ASL!Without sharing the make and model of the amp that should ... | |
| Atmasphere ma1,VTL mb250, Jolida JD 3000 What a great response! Thanks for the detail. | |
| Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference? A better comparison for price and performance would be to the Dream State power cord line. Even at full retail the Fusion Audio power cords are priced roughly half of the Dream State cords and in my opinion the Fusion cords are a more musical and ... | |
| External step-up transformer with Io or MP-1 It is an interesting idea and one I have recently done with an Io Signature and an ARC MCP-33. I just completed an update to the ARC. The Io, set to low gain, was used to verify the ARC component functioned correctly after the rework.I can not rep... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Crem1 - Thanks for the tip on the MC demag device. I never heard of this process. Now I have the itch to try.I always wonder where my SP-10 might be today ... no doubt it has changed hands a few times since I sold it in 95. You describe this very ... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Crem1: Your advice is good for someone totally focused on LP playback. Unfortunately, the SP-10 as a line stage for other sources is mediocre at best. Tubed line stage performance has come a long long way since then. I ran with the SP-10 II for 8 ... | |
| The great myth of the XlR I am a dealer for deHavilland electronics, perhaps the finest sounding single ended amplifiers and preamplifiers available.You have got to be kidding on the preamp! | |
| Review: J&R Essential Essential 3160 Preamplifier Hi Albert - Any chance of you doing the same with Michael Elliot's upcoming WV preamp? | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Atma - thanks for the updated news. Some day I will have to try the MP-1 in my system.....put it up against the Io/Callisto and WV. | |
| Power Conditioner to the rescue Wow, this thread is still alive. Hello Cmk.It's interesting that you ask if my system has changed in the last two years. I run with the same phono stage, line stage, amps and speakers. The only differences here are that the phono stage went throug... | |
| Componets first, cables second? I'll take a different road to Shadorne's comments. I too have chosen components with serious power supply designs: CAT JL-3 amps, Aesthetix Io and Callisto and APL Denon CDP with the NWO linear power supplies. Pop the hood on any of these componen... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Yes, a member indeed......I got on board just as the ship was to sail. I've had some recent correspondence with 2 people who got to play with the WV prototype this summer. I understand that there will be official news before the holiday season.Dev... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold I had an ARC LS5 which I traded for a 30SE after hearing the 31SE at HiFiSound in Mpls. The 30SE to 31SE upgrade was very affordable and I was convinced I would do this upgrade. But I wanted to give the MP3 a shot before I sent my 30SE for the upg... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Atmasphere, I sure hope you are talking about the MP1 when you mention the bottom octave, because the MP3 up against a BAT 31SE a couple years ago was severely lacking extension at both frequency extremes. Perhaps it was ill but it was a Mpls Atma... |
