| What preamp to pair with Spectron I used the Supratek Dual with the Spectron MKII (stereo) and it was a good combination, but when I used the EMM Labs DCC2 directly to the amp I got a sound that was absolutely clean and harmonically very rich. The EMM Labs DCC2 directly to the Spe... | |

| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Sound Lab A-1. Big in every way, subtle also.Supratek Syrah. Fantastique tube line and phono preamp.Supratek Cabernet. Closer to the truth even then the Syrah.EMM Labs CDSD transport and DCC2 Digital Control Center. An impressive music machine. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Wc65mustang, I was thinking also on the Merlots to pair it with my Cabernet. Could you explain a little more about the mods that you asked for and why?. Thanks | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Whoopadeedoo, the Grange and Cabernet are prepared with a switch to change between PX4 or 300B, like my Cab, other can use PX4 or 45. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Whoopadeedoo, in one of your prior posts I read about the Visseaux 6L6G or Mullard EL34 used as regulators. Now I´m using WE350B in my Cab. How you compare the 350B with any of those other tubes?.My other tubes are Valvo GZ34 metal base, Sylvania... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Whoopadeedoo, I appreciate your help and please continue posting your opinion in this thread, we need your constructive experience instead of some sterile fights. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Today I´ve listened the Cab with the Mundorfs for the first time and I´m quite impressed, not subtle differences but very noticeable ones, bigger soundstage, mostly in the vertical plane, clearer sound and deeper and more tied bass. I guess that... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The GZ34 and the Bendix 6106 are indirectly heated tubes, heater and cathode are parallel connected. Both tubes have the same base diagrams and both are bi-phase halve-wave rectifiers or full wave rectifiers."Slow start" means the warm-up "rise ti... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I use both the Syrah and the Cabernet with two different systems. A big one with Sound Lab A-1, electrostatics, and Wolcott monoblocks (220 watts/ch) and other "less big" system with Cary 805AE, that uses 845 or 211 tubes with Von Schweikert db99 ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century For all of you, all friends in this forum, who now are in hard moments because of the hurricane Katrina, I want to let you know that I share your pain. Juan (Madrid, Spain) | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks to you, David. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I received my new Cabernet one month ago. Mine is also the PX4/300B version. So far I can tell that the sound seems to be a little cleaner with the PX4 (TJ) then with the Western Electric 300B but I´ll check it again in one more month or so.Eccle... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ecclectique, yes I contacted Edward Wolcow of Foundation Research and now I have the Cd player, Syrah, and the Cary 805C monoblocks connected to the wall with these power cords. I can tell you that the sound is not colored or tamed like with the m... |
