| Best used preamp for $1500? You can probably get the Wyred STP-SE used for around $1500 or so. Easily everything you want in a preamp, except if you want tubes. | |
| 6922 tube recommendations Those $35 cryo'ed 6H23 tubes are a steal. It's only that the supply is greater than the demand right now since not too many people know of them. Soon when word gets out and the few ( <100 ) out there are gone, they're gonna re-sell for hundreds... | |
| 6922 tube recommendations Please look at the tubes being sold by member "Tcscata"6H23 are perfect for 6922. I use them in my tube buffer and they sound fantastic! I mean better than $200/pr tubes for much much less. Just check them out before you buy. | |
| Lively and Dynamic SS Preamp... Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE fits all your needs | |
| Do better ingredients make a better Ground Wire? Ozzy, where do you place them as both leads are hot, only 180 degrees out of phase from each other?John | |
| Do better ingredients make a better Ground Wire? Bud, I think it was stated before, but I don't understand why. I have a fully balanced amp (Wyred 4 Sound) that I run in full balanced from source through preamp to amp. Why will the GCs' do nothing in my case? | |
| Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR Well tell us, are you still running both XLR and RCA?If so how does it sound now? | |
| ADCOM GFA-5800 clipping make sure if you use stranded speaker wire that there isn't one small strand touching another. I have seen this happen and the system will still work, but overheat the amp soon after. | |
| Next - Tube Preamp, Integrated, and/or Crossover? First try the 300SE full range if you can. See if the volume is acceptable as split freq bi-amp will only get you a slight bit more volume with the 300SE.I'm not sure on your possibel paths, but definately get a buffer before the NHT volume to kee... | |
| Can foam padding isolate better than spikes? Home Depot is a treasure trove for all these "McGuyver" tweaks. | |
| Ribbon speakers look at Legacy Victoria LE | |
| Laziness in a dark room & digital hi-fi Look into a Blacknote DSS 15 it will read FLAC off a hard drive and has a built in HQ DAC. | |
| can mundorf supreme caps be used for AC filtering Yes, I do it and it works great. Lots more detail in the music that I was never able to hear before. The 600 volt rating is well over the 120 volts of house AC. | |
| Tube Buffer between cdp & pre My digital source Blacknote DSS 30 has a built in passive volume output, so to better match the impedances I use an Audio Horizons TB 5.0 tube buffer in between the Blacknote and my amp (W4S ICE amp). Without it the highs are somewhat reduced and ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Since the resistor changes with the amount of light, could I open the case and use a light bulb with a remote dimmer to change the volume? |
