| Help with increasing gain on pre amp or options? It may be an issue of voltage sensitivity instead of gain. | |
| Single input Line-Stage Pre-amp I have a Supratek Sauvignon tube linestage that was built to order with one set inputs and one set of outputs. All Supratek gear is built to order and like yourself, I only have one source and I wanted my pre to be as transparent as possible. Visi... | |
| Driving me crazy You might try Supratek. Mick's preamps use the 6SN7, with 6L6G's or EL34's for voltage regulators. Each pre is built to order. | |
| Speaker Recommendation for Tube Fan I've seen some people drive Quad's with tube amps. | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Rollerblock Jrs. work well for me. Sharper attack transients, tighter bass, larger soundstage, enhanced intrumental tone/harmonics/reverb. | |
| Thiel owners I would wait till Dec/Jan before making a purchase. Thiel seems to release new models right before CES. Hopefully, there will be a 3.7 this winter. | |
| Less is more? Where's the midrange question -help Sounds like you would be happier with other speakers. What else did you audition before you purchased. I would recommend Tannoy D500, Thiel CS2.3/2.4, Energy C9. Any of these speakers will have a more forward midrange. They should all be easy to f... | |
| Considering thiel 3.6 but need feedback Not necessarily. My Thiels have the most even/extended bass response when placed 1' from the wall and 14' from my sitting position. Also Thiels are designed for farfield listening so you will want to strike a compromise between pulling the speaker... | |
| Buffered CD player? Most CDP's and DAC's use a PLL to buffer data. This is where the digital clock is derived from. | |
| HAL-O, Isolation platforms, and tube cd players I have a tube preamp with Hal-O tube dampers all around. Underneath I use symposium rollerblock jrs w/tungsten carbide balls and brightstar airmass. Microphonics are not an issue, at all. Imaging has gotten sharper and instrumental tone has become... | |
| Best Amp for my new Speakers? I have never heard any one call Pass Labs amps "bright". Although I have heard that said of Revel Studio's and Salon's if the tweeters are not properly adjusted. Rowland amps sound like a good idea. Revel's and Sim Audio demo together in shows som... | |
| Aerial 10 T Owners Need Advice Ditto what Piezo said about the 10T's. A very nice smooth midrange and non-fatigueing treble. A warm speaker overall, but the bass is a little loose and will require a beefy amp for discipline. I would recommend a SS amp, tube preamp, and cardas c... | |
| kef 104/2 or Thiel 2.3 What is you amplification? | |
| IC for Moon/Revel I would consider IC's from cardas or jps labs. JPS labs has the warmer house sound. | |
| Is still the same? best digital cable is AES/EBU Toslink is a crappy interface from an engineering standards perspective. There isn't a lot that can be done to enhance it. That is why toslink cables are relatively inexpensive. IMO weakest part of toslink is the connector. I put Hal-O interconnec... |
