| Classe 350 vs Pass Labs X600.5 Rtn1, from your comments, I assume you don't leave the XA200.5 on 24/7? How long of a warm-up for maximum performance? Have you compare the Bryston 28BSST to your Pass? I heard the 28BSST runs very cool, only requires an hour of warm-up and sounds... | |
| Need help with IC upgrade Cardas Golden Cross Checkout Zu Varial MK3 ... read the 6moon review. Cardas GR is veiled and colored compare to the Varial. It best cables costing 2X to 3X ...Zu offers a trial period and FYI, it takes 300+ hours to break in. | |
| Sound of SED Winged C KT88 vs. SED Winged C 6550's Newbee, thanks for the comparison. It's tough to roll power tubes since the amp requires 4MQs. I'm satisfied with the sound of the amp so probably stick with GL reissued KT88 when it's time for a new set. Already rolled all the small tubes ... was... | |
| Sound of SED Winged C KT88 vs. SED Winged C 6550's I switched from EH6550 to GL Reissued KT88 several years ago and the GL is SUPERIOR in every way. Surprisely GL is warmer but also much higher resolution. My amps require 4MQ so NOS is out of the question. Looking for a tube with the sound of GL R... | |
| Sound of SED Winged C KT88 vs. SED Winged C 6550's Newbee, can you comment on the sonic differences between a SED 6550 and Reissued Tung-Sol 6550? ... which one has less smear when dealing with complex passages and poorly recorded compress music.Thanks! | |
| Bryston square series question ... That's what I figured ... nothing is free :-) Thank You for all the responses. | |
| Bryston square series question ... The reason I ask is ... in the middle of MF Stereophile 7bsst2 review, Bryston dropped off a new unit with fixes for some issues. I was wondering whether Bryston consider it a fix or upgrade? If it's a fix, then it should be free for owners with t... | |
| cable recommendations I auditioned Red Dawn on Graaf GM200 and EAR and it's a great match. Found NOT a good match on both Pass and Krell. Better match with Tube components.Check out Zu Varial MK3 interconnects. It works especially well with tube components. Varials rep... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 2, Heaven or Hell? For $3000 I probably expand my search especially you want a warmer sounding preamp. Check out CJ CT5. It has the warmer sound and remote that you want but it only has single ended I/O. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 2, Heaven or Hell? My favorite 6922 tube for SF is the Amperex Holland SQ E88CC.I've own 3 different SF preamps and 1 amp. I find stock SF sound is a little thin, lean, mechanical and dry. The PCX SE+ mod addresses all the weaknesses and much more. IMHO, PCX SE+ mod... | |
| Mcintosh C-2300 first impressions The smooth plate Tele is a touch warmer than the ribbed plate. I prefer the ribbed plate. | |
| Mcintosh C-2300 first impressions Is it possible the 2300 is a bad match for your amp? From my experience, the 2200 is a horrible match to Krell FPB600. Sound is flat, liveless, veil and NO deep bass ... impedance mismatch.BTW, Telefunken is a must for 2200 and 2300. Major improve... | |
| sonic frontiers sfl-1 or bryston 11b ? Not familiar with the Bryston ...SF SFL-1 was my 1st adventure into tubes many many moons ago. It's neutral with a touch of tube magic ... a very nice preamp. I was using it with a Krell KSA100S with excellent results. Also if it ever needs servic... | |
| Eggleston Dealers My experience with EW was very positive. My speakers were built on order and Jim Thompson replied to all my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. It's possible they are traveling for shows and have not gotten your message. | |
| Eggleston Dealers Dirk, I ordered my new EW through Walt. His Audiogon username is "Dolfan". I don't remember but I think he is based in North Carolina so pop him an email. He's a great and fair dealer to deal with. Good luck! |
