| Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 5.1 or.. I have a friend who will be travelling to the US soon and is comtemplating of buying a pair of Sophia2. I am sure he is aware of all the warranty issues and additional shipping costs. What's the best price to pay for a brand new/used pair? Require... | |
| Replace the Supratek Chardonnay with Accuphase? Thanks for all your input. After much thought I have decided to go with the C-2410 & DP-500.Which means the Chardonnay, DAC 3.1x Sig & CD-17 is up for sale. | |
| Replace the Supratek Chardonnay with Accuphase? It sounds warm- more towards sounding tube than SS. Its detailed and clean, the soundstage is large and the bass is quite deep.It surely puts out much more power than 60 watts and drives my B&W 802 S3 with ease. The build quality and finish is... | |
| Replace the Supratek Chardonnay with Accuphase? Thanks. Don't get me wrong the Chardonnay is a very nice pre, having said that I do feel the bass is not tight & could be a bit bloated (to my ears). I must admit I do like a tight bass with a bit of slam & with the A-60 being on the warm ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi All,Has anyone tried the NEW Tung-Sol KT-66 on the Chardonnay?also, what's your opinion on the NOS Mullard CV378/GZ37for the same pre-amp.Thanks, | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Swampwalker thanks. Just a light tap nothing serious. I have been very careful with the insertion and removal of the tubes and making double sure everything is the way it should be.Did your umbical effect the sound quality also do you play the pre... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Crackling sound from speaker due to 6SN7 tubes. Overall the sound of my Chardonnay(60hrs)is very nice except for the occational crackling sound I hear on the speaker. I have narrowed down the problem to the 6SN7 tubes.With the stock EH 6SN7 tubes ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Crackling sound on my right speaker. I have run my Chardonnay for about 50hrs. with the stock tubes (EH/Sovtek) supplied by Mick. When I turn down the volume with or without playing a CD I can hear crackling and hiss noise from the right channel e... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Stiltskin, the price for those miniwatts are steep for me. Hence the second choice. I'm using my Chardonnay with a solid state power amp (MC352) and looks like most of you here are using an all tube set up(?).Could there be a different comb... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Cello, Amandarae & Slowhand thanks again. You guys are right its almost impossible to get the Tung-sol 6SN7. Just curious what would be second best to replace the Tung-sol 6SN7 and the Philips miniwatt GZ34? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Amandarae, thanks. I'm already having difficulty finding these tubes let alone a reasonable price. Does anyone know where I can find some good buys? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Cello, Thanks. The 6SN7 tubes like the Kenrad, Raytheon, Tung-sol & GE are apprantely good. Which ones do you recommend?Looking forward to the pre. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Chardonnay-what's the best sounding tubes for the line stage, regulator and rectifier. I should have my chardonnay in a couple of days.Yes, I will let it run in before doing any kind of tube rolling but in the mean time would like to start making ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century for your respose. Well looking forward to the Chardonnay. I should have it in about 6 to 8 weeks. I do plan to use the stock tubes at least for a month or so before doing any kind of tube rolling.Regards,Jay | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have just ordered the Chardonnay and was wondering if it requires a burn in period or would it be good straight of the bat.Also in the earlier threads there is a lot of talk about the Ken Rad, Sylvania and Tung Sol VT-231 etc.The more recent thr... |
