| Preamp Deal of the Century I replaced my stock 5881 with a Sovtek 5V4G, its a bit taller. It sounds really good. I didn't get a chance to listen ot the stock 5881 due to other problems I was having. But the sovtek works just fine and it cost only $7.99. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Update- I've had an interesting Saturday to say the least. Let's just say it tunred out just fine by 6:00pm. I started out with a brand new preamp that didn't work. In the process of switching back and forth I managed to mess up my power amp too. ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Quick Update - Thank you all (bmotorcycle, bwhite, Rmml and Mick) for comming to the resque in such short notice. My preamp is still out of commission. And to add to it, I messed it up even more by turning the two (inside the preamp unit) pods (wr... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Gang-I received my chardonnay today and I just now hooked it up but I'm have some serious problems. The sound is totally "chocked", as if there is no power at all. There's barely any noise from the woofers. Just wondering what I'm doing wrong.... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Gang-Looks like I'm up next, my Chardonnay is shipping as early as 8/29 - I place my ordered on 3/29. I have no clue how long the shipment will take to get to NYC. By the way - what's involved in the customs clearance? I've seen posts indicati... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I essentially refrained from emailing Mick for the last 3.5 months since I was getting my updates from this thread alone. I finally broke down and inquired last week. In response Mick said it would take a "while" longer. However, he did attach a c... | |
| Opinions on Graaf Amps I owned the GM-20 OTL along with Graaf's 13.5B preamp until I very recently. I sold them simply because I needed more power to drive my not so efficient Kharma CE 2.2 speakers (89-db, 8-ohms) in a fairly large loft setting. I replaced the GM 20 wi... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Noble110 - what speakers will you be using in your setup? I also own a "Air Tight" but mine is the ATM-2. I expect my "Chardonney" to arrive shortly since I just past the 3-month marker. The speakers I'm using are Kharma Ceramique 2.2, and I use a... | |
| Is this thing for real? A pair of these were on display in Blue-Circle room at the Stereophile show in NYC. They certainly are are for real, however, damn ugly (totally cheesey) if you ask me! | |
| Air Tight ATM-2 Owners - Help with Bias setting Tpsonic and Audiofile9, thanks. I went ahead ordered a matching quad set of Valve Art KT88 based on a recommendation from a fellow who currently selling a pair of ATM-2 mono-blocks at this site. I'm sure anout one of the (original chinese KT88) tu... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite - That's so cool...how did you do that, meaning, what software (other tools) did you use to create this rendition - just wondering... | |
| Air Tight ATM-2 Owners - Help with Bias setting Update - after switching the 2 output tubes (KT-88)on the left channel, the channel where turning the "Balance" pot did not move the needle on the bias meter -- well the needle is moving once again but the sound is harsh at times, it sort of comes... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Afveep -When I ordered mine (a chardonney) back on March 29th, Mick accepted only PayPay and/or Wire transfer. A deposit of 50% is required when you place your order. The wait is probably around 3-months or more. But couldn't tell you how it sound... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler - Like you and others I'm just sitting tight. Obviously none of us want to bug Mick every 15 days but I'm surprized (worried) to know you haven't heard anything yet. I was hoping to receive mine by the end of June. Doesn't look like it wil... | |
| has anyone heard anything gd about the b&w cdm1sp Victor my friend, I see you've caught the upgrade bug -- there is no stopping now. If you generally like the sound of your current setup - B&K (I forget the model numbers) with B&W cdm1 monitors, you could look into a pair of B&W 802 M... |
