| Tube Preamps under $1000 used You're absolutely right Gunbei, but the maintenance is better than the alternative: I tried the more responsible and safe route, which would also keep things pretty neat and tidy, but the latex kept melting with the heat of the tubes (OUCH!). I ga... | |
| Tube Preamps under $1000 used Oh, my Gunbei, didn't your parents ever tell you about 'forbidden love'? And Sugarbrie watches!?!?! I confess, I'm guilty as well....let the world judge us...I don't care, just as long as I can be together with my tubes!! There's nothing like a pa... | |
| Tube Preamps under $1000 used I think the choice of such things comes down to synergy with the amps you are using it with. I can highly recommend Cary's SLP-50A. Sounds wonderful with my SET amps. You'll have plenty of change left over from your $1k to purchase that Close-and-... | |
| OK, A'Gon/guys: I like to print the odd thread but Just one more possibility: If you want to print the thread as is: When the printer dialogue box comes up just choose printing to be done in black (& white) only. The yellow will become a light grey.Marco | |

| Anybody using Shure V15 VXMR with Linn LP12 Ittok I'd be curious too Weisrb as I do have an Ittok/V15VXMR combination (on an modified AR table though) and am wondering if I got it right! Do you have a more specific question? My confusion was with the overhang (is that the correct term?). A search... | |
| Good SET Tube Amp for $1500? Indeed, 90db is going to give you some pretty sedate listening levels with 2A3's Crazy. Maybe no budget for Avantgarde's, but I'd bet you could find LaScala's or Khorns at a reasonable price. Anyway, don't know the scoop with the Billies. I do lov... | |
| Good SET Tube Amp for $1500? Rogerroger- I'd agree the Mini-Mites are great little amps and sound wonderful, but since I have both a pair of those and Quicksilver 300B SET amps I can tell you with great assurance that the sound of the two (at least with that specific SET) are... | |
| Chair or Sofa? Which do you use? I always sit naked on a solid 5" thick maple plinth with four 2" brass cones underneath me (IMPORTANT: The points face DOWN!!), and cover my body with Marigo Tuning Dots (I found the 32mm ones work best). The soundstage is unreal.... pinpoint imag... | |
| Help Tube newbee To answer your question more directly and simplicticly; yes, all three tubes are of the same tube family and are different denotions for essentially the same tube (IMPORTANT: the same tube designs by different manufacturers will have distinct soni... | |
| Looking for an amazing preamp under $700 used It has one tube more than your looking for, but I think the Cary SLP-50A is a real sleeper of a pre and can be found used right around that price range. Really outstanding value! SLP-50B uses the 6922 tubes (more common and popular than the 6CG7's... | |
| Anyone with kids should see this... Just say NO WASKAWEE WITTLE WABBIT!!!! ....Could be Beelzebub himself with those beady red eyes!! Still, the guy who rescued the bunny couldn't be the sharpest tool in the shed....Who would let a rescued animal that was unknown to them run around free in thei... | |
| Former Spica owners ... what did you trade up to ? I had TC50's too, years ago. Owned them for over 12 years. Loved em! They are champs at imaging, but I've since owned even better monitor-sized speakers that image even better: Silverline SR17's. Of course you will pay alot more than your Spicas c... | |
| Tubes v. SS: can you mix and match? Well I'm a big fan of Mike Sanders' Quicksilver gear. Damn fine gear on every level, and the man knows what he is doing. Hand built, point-to-point wiring and overbuilt in every respect. I've owned four different pairs of Quicksilver amps and curr... | |
| Tubes v. SS: can you mix and match? Can't answer for Zaikesman, obviously, but I do have experience with tube gear including Jolida. Jolida do make some great products for the money they charge. Most are built in China as I understand (the company itself is based in MD). The quality... |
