| What Would you Trade your System FOR? ok brian what does a ferrari diablo look like? does everyone see that i made sure to include mantinence? if you were given a ferrari it would costs about 700 a month just to drive it. thats a 12 cylinder. 400 a month for a 8. i see that jeffloista... | |
| What Would you Trade your System FOR? a ferrari f-50. with free service and parts, including tires. and diana krall. | |
| What tube preamp to get to smooth out the sound????? back to the origanal topic. tube preamp under 2k; jadis dpl, or maybe even a jpl. cat, conrad premiere 10. 7 b . vac. these to me are the most lush for under 2k. used of course. | |
| Is 60 amp electrical service enough for high end tube system i would say bring an electrition over and put him to work. you do need a 200 amp box i would think. your sound room should have 20 amp lines for each amp . and 20 amps for your preamp. you can never have enough juice. | |
| Tube amp for a somewhat difficult load atma-spheres ,jadis ,vac,wolcot, sonic frontiers, conrad, etc; all these amps are worth a try. they are all damn good amps. i have owned jadis 200 monos ,conrad premier 11 ,12s and 8s, sonic frontiers power 3s. on and on. i would of been happy wit... | |
| Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like? i think that levinson does sound clinical to me as well . i stated that after hearing the grand slams with the 33hs that it sounded sterile. the 27.5 and 23.5 i remember sounding much more musical. but i have to say as someone else already said he... | |
| Tale of the preamps i had the jadis jps2 and ja 200s awsome combo. maybe try the jadis amps.cat amps and preamps are awsome as well. and of course the atma- spheres. i know every body is sick of me talking about them but tube research has no compromises. i dont think... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? the two best speakers i have heard are the jm lab utopias and sound lab ultimate 1s. | |
| Tube Curious dweller i have had the same tubes running for 4 years + no problems. i also leave them running 24/7. i have never sent my amps back nor have my two friends that own tube research amps and preamps . ss also has to break in. but when the transistors... | |
| My DVDA player has -120db to 0db Do I still need a pre-amp? subdoofus your speakers are awsome i have the utopias. i agree with no proceser but if you had a good tube preamp it would even be better. | |
| SS Monoblock 100+W as cheap how about a hafler xl 280 . it does 145 into 8 200 into 4 and 400 mono into 8 560 mono into 4 good little amp. i think if you can find one it will be around 250 to 500. i have one laying around . i like it. | |
| The right amp for Martin Logan Ascents out of the amps you mentiond ,the mccormick is the one. but i would say tubes of course. the little bat may be a good choice . how much do you want to spend? not only are tubes more detailed than ss but they are more lifelike. i run tubes in my th... | |
| Tubes Tubes Tubes... tubes have a lot more voltage and current. i can never understand how anyone can run apair of mls or sound labs with ss, just because what jtinn said about 16 ohms. thats why marton logans sound brash with ss. | |
| Tube Curious the good thing people dont realise with tubes is when they wear out pop in a new one. when ss wears out put it on a ups truck for repair. you wont be sorry.i had the bat also. i liked it. i also had the power 3s they sound a little more ss , but s... | |
