| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... 12-06-13: MceljoJmcgrogan2 - In theory, if the goal of audio equipment is to reproduce the original signal as close to the original as is possible then it would be expected that as the various pieces of equipment get better and better the resultin... | |
| Most Quiet TUBE Preamp. Linestage. $ 12K or less I'll bet it sounds like a killer preamp Peter. Best Wishes on your audio adventure as a manufacturer. If you ever have any photos to post, I'd love to see it. What kind of tubes are you using? Line stage or w/ phono? Are you still modifying Counte... | |
| Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H I have a friend who owned both. He loved the sonic presentation of the Nighthawk better, but it presented some noise issues. So he switched to the Clearaudio Basic Plus. While he said the Clearaudio was dead quiet, he said it was rather sterile so... | |
| Mechanical Hum from Class A Amplifier Clayton Rtilden, re-read Dragon_vibe's post, the Coda 15.0 only runs in Class A bias up to 100 wpc. The 33.0 that you recommend next only runs in Class A bias up to 15 wpc. He was using the Clayton Audio M-300's, which were 300 wpc of pure Class A power. ... | |
| Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H In your budget I would recommend looking for an integrated phono stage. Either a full function preamp w/ phono stage or an integrated amp with a phono stage built in. My preamp has a phono stage built in that adds $500 to the cost of the preamp. T... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... 12-05-13: MceljoI made a similar suggesting at my local audio store that Nordost Sort Kones should have less of an effect as the equipment design gets better because I wouldn't expect a $500 CD player to include the same level of care in the desig... | |
| Comparisons HT Pro-9 reference se & AZ Hologram II I'd also be interested in reading others experiences with these two cables. I'm currently using the Acoustic Zen Hologram II, and feel it is a great bang for the buck cable, but I haven't had a chance to listen to the HT Pro-9 Reference SE cables. | |
| Most Quiet TUBE Preamp. Linestage. $ 12K or less LOL! This thread has been dead for almost 7 years now. Johngossman resurrected it by saying all tube preamps are dead quiet. So I guess that settles that. ;) | |
| Mechanical Hum from Class A Amplifier Clayton That is a shame, though I can not blame you, I know what a hassle it can become. As I posted earlier, I gave up on my M-100 monoblock amps too for transformer hum. These are great sounding amps when the music was playing, but that constant hum dur... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... Is it reasonable to assume that a power cord could make a difference in my system at this price point? Sure, but remember, different is not always better. I do not have much experience with current cords in your price range, so I will defer to oth... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Phono One SE or SE+ Phono Preampl Someone fell asleep at the wheel. ;) | |
| Help ? I don't want to get ripped off A good way to get some idea of value is to go to Ebay and look at the items "completed listings" price. That way you will see what the item has sold for and what the item's price was that didn't sell. Obviously there is a wide variety in the prici... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Phono One SE or SE+ Phono Preampl LOL! What Brf said.I am looking to sell a 5 foot 15A Dream State Audio Lucid Dream power cord. 8/10 condition, asking price is $695.Hey Brf, this could be a cheaper way to circumvent paying those nasty fees!! LOL!! | |
| Mechanical Hum from Class A Amplifier Clayton Good luck, let us know how you make out. | |
| Tube preamp question 12-02-13: DuckdownmanThanks for the input Jmcgrogan2 , I appreciate it.If I were to add a tube pre with a ht bypass that was non balanced would this now make my system unbalanced since it's connected in line? Yes, a break in the chain in any spot ... |
