| Preamp Deal of the Century any IEC power cord will do in the short term. i would definately plan on upgrading the power cord in the future. there isn't much need to go hog-wild and get a $2k power cord. | |
| SS/Mono Amps Warm,Musical,Detailed i have the sim audio moon w5. i don't consider it to be warm. it is much too neutral for that. don't forget that most systems include a preamp that could be used to achieve the warmth you are looking for. i don't think it is realistic to try to ac... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Cello - There is no sub for the 6C45. I think Sovtek and Electroharmonix are the brandname resellers. I don't know who actually manufactures the 6C45 but there could be more than one, since Sovtek and Electroharmonix sell tubes from several manufa... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Finally got to put the Cabernet in my system tonight. These are my initial impressions. My Cabernet uses the WE 101D. The WE 101D has a UV-4 base that requires different sockets than the TJ 101D (UX-4 base) and the sockets are not easy to come by.... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century 4khe - in addition to the recommendations of amandarae make sure that your balance knob isn't set hard to right. then go swap interconnects between left and right channels. lastly fidget with the interconnect barrels on the input jacks, maybe the ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Amandarae - The 6V6 can be used as the regulator in the supratek preamps. I've never done it myself, but I'm told they don't sound good. Let us know what you think if you should try it. | |
| how 'bout Wilson Sophias with Simaudio P-5/W-5 ?? First off, the W5 is only balanced to the output stages but not including the output stages. So the W5 is not balanced or fully differential all the way through. Secondly the Syrah with XLR outputs is balanced on the output stages, but of course i... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Clipsal, If it is midrange magic you want from a 6SN7GT, then you should try the RCA 6SN7GT/VT-231 grey-glass. | |
| how 'bout Wilson Sophias with Simaudio P-5/W-5 ?? Thom_y - I use thiel cs2.3's. My current preamp is the Supratek Sauvignon but I have a Supratek Cabernet on the way and it should be in my system in just a couple of weeks at most. The W5 sound is compareable in signature to the Linn Klimax and Th... | |
| how 'bout Wilson Sophias with Simaudio P-5/W-5 ?? Stehno - I have the W5 driven by a tube preamp and the bass rocks. It is tight, articulate, and absolutely slams. I don't know what was the cause of your problems with the W5's bass except that it isn't universal. In fact you and Peter Moncrief ar... | |
| Dynaudio Evidence Master and Evidence Temptation they sound pretty good, especially good for large dynamic contrasts when power with the right juice. but the image height is unusually tall. i never could get used to the musicans being suspended in the air. like they were standing on a 2-3' stage... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century You should audition several pairs of cables in your system from www.fatwyre.com, buy the ones you like best. I would try something from Cardas, Kimber, Acoustic Zen, and MIT within your price range. Decide on your interconnects first. Then choose ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Saint2 - You don't mention your musical tastes and what you want from your system. | |
