| Preamp Deal of the Century nothing fancy. bendix 6106 rectifier, electro-harmonix 6SN7, sovtek KT66 regulators. i'm interested in trying out the different NOS 6SN7 out there, but presently would rather invest money into other areas of my system. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century previous to the chardonnay, i owned:acoustic research sp-16lpass labs x2.5aragon soundstage (when 2-channel and ht were integrated)ead theatermaster encore (when 2-channel and ht were integrated) | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century tom:i think part of the issue is that power cables connected to the speakers are unshielded and one power cable on the right mablec is unshielded as well. hopefully i'll win the lottery soon and be able to purchase the remaing 3 purist audio power... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century slowhand:yes the buzzing comes from both speakers. it may possible be i'm hearing the noise floor of the amp, but i'm not really sure. i've been emailing kevin covi back and forth as he and i are at a loss for the reason for the buzz. like i said,... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century yes, the KT88 tubes buzzed as well. i don't think it's my cheap interconnects as the tweeter continues to buzz even when the cables are unplugged. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century the sixpacs are effectively a cary amplifier so they exhibit much of the same sonic characteristics as other cary amps. syrupy is the best way i can describe it. the malbecs are much more dynamic by comparison. of course, it's hard to make an accu... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century i must preface all my following comments by saying that my system has been Âdown since i placed the deposit for my malbecs in june of 2006. my system has been through some major changes. i sold my art audio carissa (16 watt SET) which I was usi... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century maril555:i should be able to get in a decent listening session this weekend so i'll try to post my initial impressions sunday night or so. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century fyi:my malbec is back from kevin covi. turns out it had a bad screen resistor. i'm letting the amps cook right now so i hope to be able to give some sort of mini-review/impressions within a month or so. i have two quads of EL34 coming in the mail ... | |
| Tubed pre to go with Aragon 8008BB i don't think you could go wrong with a supratek chardonnay at $2100 plus shipping and whatever extra options you want (remote, home theater bypass, balanced outputs...). | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century that's what $400 for shipping will get you. i'm sure your shipping fee will be less since the preamps aren't as heavy as two monoblock amplifiers and they come in a single box (at least my chardonnay did). the quick shipping turnaround also has to... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century my malbecs were shipped on 12-18-06 and i received one on 12-20-06 and the other on 12-21-06 from what i recall. dhl managed to split the packages up in ohio. i live in mobile, alabama so you might be able to receive the sauvignon a day sooner. en... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century duettasigs:the primary options that mick has availabe for his preamps is home theater bypass swith and remote volume control. the cabernet already comes with a pair of balanced inputs/outputs. if you've got something specific in mind, just email m... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century from what i recall, ray ordered a pair as well. not sure if he got his in yet though. i emailed him earlier today so maybe we'll hear from him shortly. | |
| Any PRIMUS fans out there? i love primus and i've seen them live twice. i can't really recommend a particular album to you as i love them all. i suppose my top three not including the newest album would be "frizzle fry", "sailing the seas of cheese", and "pork soda". |
