Tube for a Noob ??? The Modwright Oppo 105 with modded tube stage for 2 channel and it will handle your 5.1 HT as well. Works in my HT room. I stream from my network but it's also got a very good transport. Not cheap but still much less than a good vinyl setup and re... | |
Black Sands Audio. I have several of the violet MKII power cords. It was my first time buying an after market PC. I was skeptical and the difference in the sound made me a believer. They are a very good PCs. | |
Best Recording of Music My best recorded vinyl LP is Stanley Clarks "if this bass could only talk", this recording is incredibly dynamic and it has my favorite version of "goodbye porkpie hat" | |
Climbing the Preamp ladder I have owned a few preamps and two of them in the 4K price range. I now use the $1100 linear tube audio Micro ZOTL2 as my preamp. This pre is mainly intended to be a head phone amp and a good one it is but it is the best preamp I've ever heard per... | |

MicroZotl2.0 Deluxe vs Dennis Had Dragon IHA-1 I have not heard the Dragon. I do own 2 Micro ZOTL2's, so if anyone has the Dennis Had amp and is in the Central Maryland area for a comparison I'm game. | |
Why the lack of Virtual System postings? This thread got me motivated to post my system finally. | |
Any options for low power class A amps? I am a big fan of the Micro ZOTL as well. It powers my 8 ohm, 93db speakers quite well and it also works as an incredible preamp. And then there is the ZOTL10. | |
The most transparent speaker cable I have spent some time on this roller coaster. I have tried Audioquest, Clearday, Triode Wire Labs, Synergistic Research Element Tungstun and most recently Morrow Grand Reference Elite at $4K. I have finally been stopped in my tracks by Bob Grost'... | |
Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? Zachawry,definitely use the Micro ZOTL as a preamp with the ZOTL40. It beat a 4K preamp I tried in my system. The two were meant for each other. The ZOTL40 will work without a preamp, it has a volume control but it's better with a pre.This combo i... | |
audible illusions m3a I also had an AI preamp, the best phono stage I ever had was in it. I sold it before ever having any problems.If it's not warranty work I would try Ric at EVS. http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/index.htmlHe used to build those preamps when he worked at ... | |
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Again, the speaker cables, I can't get over the difference. It is astonishing. It seems my previous, very expensive cables were holding back the bass. I now have had to make adjustments because the bass was overloading the room. | |
Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? David,i like to try things even when I don't always understand them. I did install a hospital grade outlet when I cleaned out a spare bedroom to use for my stereo. I can't tell you if it made any difference at all, no way to test this without goin... | |
Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? The NOS Mullards as you probably know are extremely expensive. I purchased a used quad of XF2's for $300. These are used tubes mind you but they test strong. The ZOTL 40 is very easy on tubes so I expect to get a pretty good life span out of these... | |
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Has anyone tried either the blue or yellow PC on the PS Audio P10 power plant? Bob says because of the varying wave forms it's tough to design a PC for. |
