| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? Kalali,If you doubled your budget,you might want to look at the Linear tube audio MZ2s.Lot's of good reviews either professional or users on this one.I have one on order but won't get it for 2 weeks,the only drawback is the remote only controls vo... | |
| Upgraded to Proac D20R I'm happy for you and I hope you get a lot of musical enjoyment.That's a good description of the difference that sounds spot on to the differences of the 2 models.Kenny. | |
| What Audio Research preamp would be an upgrade to my LS2B Do you have a mk1 or mk2 Ls2b and what is your budget.Audio research has several upper model preamps it depends on how much your willing to spend.There is lots of other brands also unless you want to stick to AR.Best of luck to you,Kenny. | |
| Amp choice for Harbeth (SHL5) The vac would be a great choice and the shl5's need some pwr to play there best.If you have never had a tube amp you might do some reading about them to learn at least the basics.Ask questions here on these threads.Best of luck to you,Kenny. | |
| I ordered Focal Aria 936 Looks 2.8 ohms to 8ohms, I would'nt worry about it the a21 will have plenty of pwr. to play plenty loud.Best of luck to you and I hope you enjoy your new speakers.Kenny. | |
| Need to find Adcom dealer I didn't know they are still being made. | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? For sound and so far reliablty, I like the sound of the black treasures and the we300 b replica.I haven't had much longevity from the Sophia's,300b's,2a3's or there 45's.The sophia's do sound good though.Best of luck,Kenny. | |
| Parasound vs Primaluna vs Alternatives Whacky,I'm assuming you have never heard a tube amp,I started with a Mac 275 and Khorns 31yrs ago when I was 21 and have lots of gear in between to now.Going to sound diff. Than a parasound and the only way to know for sure is to try.Like Roxy sai... | |
| Preamp issue? I've had tubes on one channel lose gain or volume before but they usually get noisy and grainy in the sound first. | |
| Preamp issue? Ether,I'm glad you found the problem,you can't use the 6h30 in place of the 12au7's.The 6h30 need to be used in a circuit designed for them,don't try it.Best of luck to you,Kenny. | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? Kalali,George is spot on on his analysis,your best choice for under 1k is the Freya.Can be used in passive or tube gain mode and definitely sound better than the cj or Mac.I had a Freya but didn't really like it and sent it back for a refund durin... | |
| Revel or PSB Mat4150,The macs would drive either one of these speakers just fine,It comes down to which one you like the best I'm assuming you have listened to them.Best of luck to you,Kenny. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Sfseay,Well said +1Kenny. | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. Lance,Good to hear your liking the AHB2,keep us informed.Do you think it betters the Job in your system and could you tell us the rest of your system.What kind of cables are you using between the MZ and the AHB2,knowing the AHB2 has xlr input only... | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. Facten,I won't get my MZ2 for a couple of weeks.I sold the mw ls-100 to a friend in our local audio club and I will be borrowing it back for a direct comparison in the future.I still have my soul shine for now and will be comparing also.Kenny. |
