| NICE 6922 tube that is warm vs cool I guess you've visited "Joe's tube lore" at aa? If you want some midrange magic and not rolled off extremes then the tube you already mentioned Amperex 7308 I thinks is the best overall but if all care about is mids then telefunken 6922 followed b... | |
| Which tubes is better. Siemens or Telefunken? The NOS FAQ section Ben Campbell is likely referring to can be found at Audioasylum.com..go to tubes section and from the upper left hand corner you'll get to info on NOS 6922 and variants. | |
| Best Cd Player For Around 3000 My vote goes to the Bow Tech ZZ8..or..sell your pre, add that money to your 3k and get an audio aero capitole. | |
| "Fast sounding tube amp" with plenty of power? any? Wolcott Presence Monoblocks..220 watts of el34 power, not your stereotypical tube amp. | |
| Suggestions for making SILVER work in system? IMHO..silver is best mated with tubed gear. | |
| What kind of power needed for Martin Logans? I use the Wolcott Presence monoblocks for my SL3's..these are my second pair of ML's...tried a few amps, moderately or high powered tube amps are the way to go. | |
| What tube preamp to get to smooth out the sound????? Blue Circle BC3 is can be had for well under 2k used..power supply can be upgraded..only 2 6922's means you can do lots of tube rolling without breaking the bank and voice the pre as you wish. | |
| Tube amp for a somewhat difficult load Wolcott Presence monoblocks should work well also. | |
| best cd player for 2500- 3500 I would go with a used Bow Tech ZZ8, great build and sound,had mine for about a month so far and no regrets. | |
| What equipment do you really like? Soundlab U1's, CJ ART and Premier 8's, Basis Debut or Simon York S7. | |
| reliable tube sources Email audiogon member "longplate" a real tube expert who can help you out with your NOS tube needs. | |
| Best Preamp for under $1750.00 I'd second the Blue Circle, you can get a used BC3 for about $1600 and you'll be hard-pressed to find better near that price point..if it's too lush for you, then look at Audio Research. | |
| Tale of the preamps Siddh..I don't have experience with Jadis but I did once own and love a Cat SL1 MK3..and with careful tube rollingyou can probably get sound you are looking for from it..to my ears, the CAT was revealing but not analytical as some people say, very... | |
| Amati Homage I'd go with tubes..stereophile reviewed them using CJ prem 12's but with your budget you could get used CJ prem 8's andfor pre the CJ 16ls. | |
| Opinions Sonus Faber Electa Amator II I've never heard them but most people will tell you that the original version is superior because it uses the same tweeter as the Extrema, not sure what else has changed. |
