| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp audiogabby, nice to hear input from an owner who's owned other tube preamps. This is my first and I'm really enjoying the different presentations of my favorite music tracks I hear from this preamp when compared to the SS units I've owned in the p... | |
| Has any heard the new McIntosh MA8900 integrated? What are your source component(s) and speakers and how long are your speaker cables? | |
| Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp If buying used is an option, the older McIntosh SS amps may give you the sound you're looking for within your budget. | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp The preamp sounds good with both the Vincent/Vandersteen and Mac MC2200/ Martin Logan systems but the lushness and warmth is more pronounced with the Vincent/Vandersteen combo partly because the room setup is very different as well Mac is inherent... | |
| Thiel 7.2 - Classe, Krell or Bryston? There's a completely recapped Krell FPB-700cx up for sale now for $6500. That should be able to drive any speaker reasonably well. | |
| What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework? Sorry we are going completely off topic here with speaker placement but I now completely understand George's point. In my case I have the same side/back wall set up but the bay window is about a meter deep and it feels like the musicians are sitti... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Forget to add that the bass is also noticeably better. Can’t say if its tighter but its more apparent specially at lower volumes. Somewhere I read this might be attributed to the nature of the 5AR4 rectifier tube but I have no prior tube preamp ex... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Received the Unlimited preamp a couple of days ago and been playing it since. Really love the sound it makes. Its got that so called mid-range bloom and lush sound that folks have been taking about and associated with tube preamp. The detail is co... | |
| Phono preamp question Thank you folks for all the input. One of the reasons I really stretched my budget to get the 565 back then was all the great reviews for its phone stage since I only listened to LPs at the time. Last week a buddy of mine brought over his Vincent ... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette 2's vs Tekton Ulf's Congratulations on your purchase. Sonus Faber makes beautifully built speakers and the Amati is exceptionally handsome. I have no doubt they sound as good as they look. All the best. | |
| Has any heard the new McIntosh MA8900 integrated? Sounds like the McIntosh is not a good match for your speakers. Try a different speaker output impedance port, 4 ohm vs. 8 ohm, regardless of the speakers nominal impedance as that made a big difference in my system with different Mac amplifier. A... | |
| What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework? "I even took the wall out inbetween the speakers...."Interesting comment. In one room, I have the speakers placed on the sides of a bay window, well away from the side and back walls. On good recordings, the image depth is as deep as the depth of ... | |
| Removed my Audible Illusions Mod 3 from rack after 16 years and feet have turned to goo " I think it all depends on the the product used by the manufacture ."It must. I have a 40+ year old Pioneer SX-980 that has been dragged around several states and various climates and the feet look fine but are somewhat dried out and lost their e... | |
| Removed my Audible Illusions Mod 3 from rack after 16 years and feet have turned to goo How/where did you have it stored, e.g. humidity, temperature, etc.? Wonder what does it look inside... | |
| MQA DAC or Not? I have the digital coax output of my Node2 going to a non-MQA DAC and to my preamp and connected the analog output of the same Node2 as another source to the same preamp. This allows me to switch between the two sources instantly and compare at a ... |
