| Most Quiet TUBE Preamp. Linestage. $ 12K or less I was at Chris's house when we compared the ARC, BAT and Aesthetix and I can confirm that they were all very quiet. I never heard any noise or hum at all so I would venture to say they were silent, but I didn't stick my head in a speaker or anythi... | |
| Most Quiet TUBE Preamp. Linestage. $ 12K or less Like Raquel said, at your budget there are some fine SS choices as well. I recently purchased an Essential 3150 from Raul and am very happy with it. There are a couple threads going on about it on the Analog form if you are interested.Matt | |
| Electrical issue Can you tell us more about the filter you are using? | |
| My Teres 350 is on the way Just to support Frank, I ordered my Schroeder thru Thom at Galibier and recieved excellent communication from both of them. I tried not to bother Frank much, out of respect for everyone else who was waiting too, but when I did he was always quick ... | |
| Electrical issue Hi Sherod,Well, yes, but not in the way I thought I would. I can't count the number of times I had my friend Terry, who is an electrician, over to the house to try whatever I had read about in an effort to kill the noise. In the end, it never made... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Isn't it Feliz Navidad?:-) | |
| What Turntable to Buy I can't help with the VPI choices, but Galibier is about to release the Serac, which will be more affordable than the Gavia or Stelvio. It shares a lot of the critical parts of Thom's more expensive designs and is probably worth looking into. I be... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Hi Dan_ed,No issue, just curious. I didn't mean to suggest there was any gross mismatch, as obviously everyone involved, except me maybe:-), has enough experience to know better. Judging by the comments above I'm sure whatever load the pre had (ma... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Out of curiousity, did Raul change the load impedance resistors to match any of the carts with you all this past week? Considering how sensitive some of our carts are to these things I thought it might be worth asking. | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Or maybe the number of Pesos it would have taken to bribe the customs officials to let him cross the border with it? | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I don't know what the 3150 stands for either, but everytime I look at it, it reminds me that the Essential contains 3 stages - an MC amp, MM amp and Linestage - and has a balanced output impedance of 150 Ohms. Seems reasonable(?), but I'm just tak... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Since that didn't work out so well - I posted the pics on my system page so you can just click the link below. The pics hosted on the other site are higher resolution, but I'm afraid it will limit the number of folks who can view them in a day. I'... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Here are some pics. I've never used an image hosting site before so I'm not sure this will work, or how many people will get to view them in a day before it stops access, but thought I'd give it a shot.FRONTREARPOWER SUPPLYINSIDE MAININSIDE POWER ... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I bought the Essential and recieved it a couple of weeks ago. Raul was here on Wednesday and we spent about 5-6 hours listening to albums and cd's. We had a great time, and meeting Raul was like spending time with an old friend. In fact, I hope in... | |
