| 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... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Clio09 - Yes, I was kinda late with trying out the RS products. The Haley was a nice step forward in adding more clarity to the system. It impressed me so much I suggested to a couple friends to try it out. And they too were equally impressed.Keep... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Audiobuzz: Your concerns are fair and yet any conclusions you make are wrong. You can insinuate all that you wish. If you pay attention to some of my comments early on with the Jade Vermeil and Gold cables, you will see that I had some concerns wi... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Soundstage,depth of field,height of stage,detail,bass and even greater tonality and textures which these cables are becoming famous for occur after the 300 hour mark.Wow! That pretty much covers it for a perfect cable. I went into the GG Revelatio... | |
| 12" Arm for Clearaudio Turntable If the Champ II is like many Clearaudio TT's with pod-mounted armboards, you can have an armboard made to accommodate virtually any arm. You have to follow the arm-pivot-to-spindle-center distance for that specific arm, adjust the cartridge overha... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? The cables really take about 250-300 to fully break-in.The cables do experience sonic changes at about 40/100 and 150,however at about 300 hours you have EUPHORIAWhat actually is changing from 150 to 300 hours? Are we talking tonality changes as i... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Good points, John. I have the same situation now where a 4-feet pair would work well. But I am likely to go with a longer pair that would be more universal. Ideally, for summer months, I need to find a cooler but similarly performing stereo amp to... | |
| Early Stealth Indras vs, later versions I am not sure that all Indras without the titanium connectors would be classified as beta cables. Many were made with Cardas connectors before the Stealth connectors came along. These Cardas-RCA-based Indras perform mighty well in my system. I jus... |
