| Surge Protection for Bryston 14BSST Maybe they don't get lightning or power spikes in Canada, but I would suggest any surge protection is better than none. 110-120 volts, 60 watts, 120 cycles is what should come out of an electrical outlet and that is what your equipment was designe... | |
| Preamp/DAC combo suggestions Yes, make sure either the dac is tube or the pre is tube. I personally don't think both need to be tube, but I'm a tube pre forever type of audio buff. With a tube pre, you can get a wide variety of solid state dacs. | |
| What is the best place to buy tubes? www.tubemonger.com is my recommendation. Maybe not the source for the overpriced, exceedingly rare, overrated, name-dropping tubes; but, if you like reasonably priced, mighty fine tubes, check it out. | |
| Need help with upgrade path Tube pre-amp with a SS. power amp. Best of both worlds, pre-amp tubes are relatively inexpensive. My opinion and I'm sticking to it. I have had a tube pre (custom built around the 12au7 tube) and a variety of SS power amps for decades. I won't hav... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Audio death by boomers? No, it will be the Ipod. I am a boomer with nephews in their twenties. They aren't interested in audio, none of their friends are interested in audio. They are interested in downloading music from the internet into their ip... | |
| Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea? Try the JungSon with your speakers, if you can. Reading about the Jungson, it sounds like a good buy. If you are getting it at a deep discount, it may be a great buy. Get a tube DAC if you want to get some tube warmth into the system. Question: wh... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Guidocorona. dyslexia appears. Heil Amt, not a Heil automated teller machine. Snopro, I know what you are saying, vis a vis the sound. I am hearing instruments I have never heard before on my familiar albums. Yes, I am old enough to remember the i... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Guidocorona, I have a custom made 12au7 pre amp and an Audiosource Amp Seven T. This is a Tripath based amp, 200watts at 8 ohms. Got it off E-bay. The rumor is Audiosource had problems with FCC and radio interference. I hear nothing but black quie... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Tubes and Class D. I have heard all solid state systems with class D power amps. Larryi gave a good description of the sound. I have a tube pre and a class d power amp. I think the sound is both highly detailed and warm. Clean, clear, tight, and w... | |
| Audiophile Results The speakers. Ultimately, the link in the chain that turns electricity into sound waves. | |
| ProAc budget level S.S. or Digital amp synergy? Don't be afraid. I have a tube pre and was using an original Son of Ampzilla. I bought a Tripath based power amp off E-bay. I have no plans to replace it. A tube pre, with a "class d"power amp (to me) is a very good combination. | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Kudos Mjfvashon! Well said. A power amp, bottom line, will only amplify what it is feed. I believe the knocks against early CD is that it was solid state shrill. Vinyl did sound better through solid state pre and power amps. Time went on, improvem... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Believe what you will. Ultra Audio, HiFi+, 6 moons, PositiveFeedback, Audio Critic (reviewing the ICE powered B&O BeoLab 5), Stereophile, Absolute Sound, etc., etc., all seem have found positive things to say about the Switching Amplifier tech... | |
| Seeking best digital amp for $2000 Digital amp with tubes upstream. If you are going to go with a digital power amp, have a tube pre or tube dac. I have a tube pre with a class t power amp. I will always have some sort of Class D, T, Ice, etc. power amp with a tube pre. I think the... |
