| VAC doesn't reply to emails. inna sounds like a dirty pot any competent local tech should be able to clean it for you in minutes no need to ship the amp back to Vac. | |
| Do you sell the stuff you don't really need or fill up your closets with it? I used to sell everything but lately just don't have the interest or energy to sell so I just keep stuff. I'm a pair of speakers away from a 2nd system but nowhere to put one! | |
| Kinki Studio EX-P7 pre-amp Congrats @audiofilo123 I have to say your system bears a striking resemblance to a gent I know as Naka9. ;) And glad the downsizing is still going well for you! :P | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? +1 on Auralic either the new S1 as suggested previously or a used Aries I am currently using an Aries G1 and previously an Aries Mini and love both devices. Good SQ, very reliable and well supported plus a good quality free app. | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest I've found my ending happy place with tubes, no room or $$ for R2R here but the tubes give me a nice relaxed feeling and hopefully personality. ;) | |
| Choosing between 2 preamps Congrats on the new preamp! I'd say for the difference in price go NOS not a fan of current production small signal tubes personally. | |
| Amplifier gain settings - what do they do? Always turn your amp on last and off first. And I'd use the volume control on your preamp it's likely better quality then any gain pots or attenuators on an amp. Air Tight still makes amps with them and I'm sure a few other manufacturers do. | |
| Amp suggestion for Merlin TSM speakers Signature Sound services Merlin speakers and imports Ars Sonum tube integrateds which I think Bobby was originally importing and using with his speakers. https://sigsound.com/product-lines/ars-sonum/ That said any good pushpull amp in the 15-... | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? Here is an Audio Note M2 for $2750 no connection to the buyer just an AN fan here. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650185472-audionote-m2-preamplifier-balanced/ | |
| Transformer Hum Perfect result that's what DC blockers should do and obviously in your rewiring somehow some DC got on the line glad you got it solved! | |
| Preamp Output Completely Different with Tube Amplifier versus Solid State Amplifier It could just be that your two tube amps have higher gain than the First Watt and so amplify that tube rush more. | |
| Do military/industrial tubes sound better than regular ones ? I've had good luck with JAN/Phillips 6922 tubes but I don't think being military is a guarantee of better sound or longer life. | |
| Check This Out! Ha I missed the updates on this thread now I don't feel bad about saying it looked like a washbasin on Bill's system thread! That phono stage looks pretty sweet though. | |
| Reliable Dealer for 6CS7 tubes Tube Amp Doctor seems to have them. https://www.tubeampdoctor.com/en/6cs7-double-triode | |
| Takatsuki 300B $255 !! Damn maybe I should try selling some of my cigar boxes! |
