| Help: low Maintenance Tube Amp short list. Don't know what your budgetary considerations might be, but my suggestion would be Mike Sanders' Quicksilver Triode. It is not on their website last time I looked (hope he gets it up there soon), but I know Mike is making them and selling them. I ... | |
| Having trouble with hum ? Have you tried floating the ground on the pre-amp and or the table? This can be done simply by using one of those .99 cent grey adapters from Home-Depot that convert your three-prong plug to two prongs. There is sometimes hum generated in the grou... | |
| help me choose amp/preamp $1200 If your only concern is 2-channel, drop the SS and wake-up to tubes. For $1200 you can get a really fine tube integrated amp, or a good used set of pre and amp for just a little bit more. The jump in the sonic quailities will be priceless from the... | |
| Any photography experts out there? Nice clean work Albert! I'm a pro too. Been at it for 21 years now. There've been some really excellent suggestions here already, so I'll just recap the ones I would stress:1. Light is probably the most important key to answering your question. A ... | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? Well, perhaps I'm not communicating as clearly as I could. I certainly believe that these two monitor speakers made by the same manufacturer may be similar in some ways, and in this case, the designer being Alan Yun, I'd guess that we have two out... | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? It's hard to go wrong with tubes Dudley! Looking forward to your post burn-in evaluation! Viggen; Alan Yun should be easy to reach and I've found him to be very responsive. Your original comments on the similarity of the SR17 to the SR11 strikes m... | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? Well Viggen, you are right about one thing, the bass on the SR17's is utterly amazing, and I'd never believe it was possible to get that kind of bass from such small enclosures if I weren't hearing it with my own ears. As far as your comparing it ... | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? Hi Viggen- the work system is pretty plain: Rega Planet 2000 on the front end. Cables are mostly silver. Stealth CWS IC's and DH Labs Q-10 Speaker cables. The DH Labs are outright bargains and I use them on the home system as well. The Aleph 5 is ... | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? Hey Viggen, I recall that thread...are you still messin' round?! Which Silverlines are you getting? I recently got an Aleph 5 for my work system and am pretty amazed at how tube-like the sound is. It's not tubes, but it has its own nice qualities ... | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? As far as bass slam with the Aleph 5; I don't know if I can comment as of yet. The Aleph 5 is a new amp for me (as of about a week ago). I've been running it thus far with the SR17 monitors which don't get down below 40mhz. I also can't comment on... | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? I'm running a Pass Labs Aleph 5 with a ARC LS-2B modified by Great Northern Sound. The ARC is a hybrid pre using a single 6922 tube. I recently compared my GNS-modded LS-2B directly with my friends stock LS-2B and the difference was profound! Both... | |
| Tube Phono Stage to replace hybrid onboard Check the answers on this recent thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1044354871 | |
| Phono Stage Pre Amp Though I've never heard it myself, I have read and heard great things about George Wright's tube phono stage. I believe it is the WPP100C. I am intending to get back into vinyl again this year and that will be one of the options I'll be considerin... | |
| Inexpensive tweak Rosstaman; come to think of it, he has been on a steady diet of cat vomit! Well, actually, technically he does eat the whole cat but I'm assuming there's plenty of vomit inside'em! Maybe that is the key to audio Nirvana!!! | |
| Inexpensive tweak You know, I wasn't going to bring this up because I thought it would be just too embarassing, but since Rockyboy's confession, I feel I can speak freely now, without fear of ridicule:I've noticed that every time my dog farts anywhere near my tube ... |
