| 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... | |
| Output Couling Cap - V-Cap, Sonicap Plat, Duelund? You might find THIS to be of some value. | |
| CAT versus Berning Pubul57 - I sent you an email with some details on the various tubes in the 6922, 12au7 and 12ax7 sockets. Hope this gives you some ideas to try a few things vs. the stock Sovtek and Ei tubes.John | |
| CAT versus Berning As a JL-3 owner driving an older pair of SoundLab A1s, I had a chance to hear the Berning in a direct comparison to the CATs into these speakers. The SL speakers are not the easiest load out there, but they are not the most difficult either. The B... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Hmmm, I was wondering why the treble was a bit reduced lately. It's amazing what 40 tubes had been doing for me all that time. I'll just have to be content with the remaining 75 tubes in the system! And the room is a lot cooler now. But what's ama... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I'm with Bob, there's much to share without us getting upset with each other.After I had the GG Rev's for a week, and reported my initial and final findings to Steve at GG, I figured that I would only share this information with a few close friend... |
