| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics @oddiofyl I have heard, that is why I am reluctant to buy any older VTL. I do have a good tech to fix amps but I dont want anything too old. | |
| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics @Hilde45 I was just thinking of tubes as supplied from factory or stock units. For example on the extreme left (warm/tubey) I find Conrad Johnson. I have a Rogue preamp that is more in the middle. I have heard from people that in general that is t... | |
| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics BTW since I have heard the VTL and like their sound I would buy one on the used market except that only the really old ones are available and I am willing to spend more to get something not too old.The ASL are nice sounding but poor reliability fr... | |
| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics @miillercarbon maybe a liner scale lol. On the left is warm romantic, on the right cool neutral? @russ69 My speakers are DIY Satori MW16P (x2) and TW29R tweeters. 2 way design. 90/91 db efficient, -3db @48hz. | |
| AR VT80SE compated to Ref 75SE amp discussion seems like I cant go wrong with either one. I hate when companies install XLR on the equipment but dont install the required circuitry. | |
| AR VT80SE compated to Ref 75SE amp discussion The VT80SE is balanced, or at least the reviews say so and there is a XLR on the unit. I'll give Paragon a call. | |

| SPL: Reference level performance, German build quality, and innovative designs @Amorstereo thank you for your response. It sounds like like you really liked the SPL Performer. I cant wait to get mine. | |
| SPL: Reference level performance, German build quality, and innovative designs Teajay I read your review, how do you think the performer s800 would compare to my Wells Audio Inamorata? | |
| Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier I bought the RP7. When I first turned it on it sounded horrible. After about 50 hours I replaced the JJ tubes with Phillips tubes and OMG what an improvement. The stock tubes are trash. The unit needs about 200 hours of break in. It is leveling of... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again In my best russian accent "Don't Vorry, we make guud for you! | |
| Prima Luna Pre vs Modwright LS100 I am looking for a truly balanced low noise preamp that will have no issues driving 20 ft cables. | |
| Prima Luna Pre vs Modwright LS100 I have options:GE, TungSol, RCA Grey Glass, another set of RCA (I forget what variety)For the rectifier I have Baldwin and Mullard | |
| Compatibility between preamp and amps @mesch I do believe that the 0.85v may be a potential issue. My speakers are about 92db efficient. I get noise (hiss) from my system and I think it is incompatibility between the 2 pieces. each on their own with other components they are fine. |
