| Any love for the Gentalex Gold Lion 12ax7 gold pin? The Gold Lions have never impressed me. Though I haven’t tried12ax7’s. Typically I find that the one’s I have tried have no soul. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD Glad the BAT is working out. Your post has actually pointed me in a new direction I hadn't thought about before. I'm now looking at pairing my new QLN''a with the BAT. First though need to find another deal like you got :-) | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @liangx5 It was very interesting reading your results with' the iris and t+. I recently read a review by another iris/t+ owner that had a different outcome. I don't remember which update he did but after the update he sold his iris and went bac... | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers I did the same. My listening levels average 80 db with peaks in the low 90's. It's tough getting old. | |
| Sweet sounding tubes for preamps Take a look at an Atma-Sphere MP3. Uses 2ea 12AU7 and 6NS7's in the line stage. I have one and use GE NOS tubes in both positions. Its a wonderful preamp that will pair up nicely with many different amps, particularly balanced amps. | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers Whoops just saw the preamps we not balanced. Never mind. | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers Wow, 85 db is very loud. No wonder my wife is always yelling at me. But going back to cables, if both the preamp and power amps are fully balanced you can use inexpensive balanced cables. Mogami or something similar for no more than a couple hu... | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please @diminishedchord check the Focal website and spec sheet for your speakers. I believe it says your speakers drop to 2.9 ohms, which can be difficult for a tube amp to handle. Do a search here for speaker impedance. Lots of info to digest and one ... | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please Just checked specs for your speakers. Not an easy load. They dip under 3ohm. Not really a good match for tubes. You’re probably loosing the lower octave of your music. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please Also in a small room you can easily get away with speakers under 90db so long as they’re any easy 8 ohm load and you’re not a head banger. Mine are 87db and fine in a similar sized room. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please You can buy the original version of AU 24 speaker cables for less than $1,000. Maybe even gen. 2. I bought my 3m pair for $500. They come up occasionally on A’gon and US Audio Mart and will be a nice match for your speakers. | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II Michal: I checked with my dealer again regarding delivery of the Brooklyn Bridge II. That's why I'm on this thread to begin with. They were expecting delivery in July, but say there are no updates. Same thing the OP is saying above. Would you... | |
| FYI: Dynaudio Evidence Masters are being made again! Why all the skepticism.? | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II Michal thanks for responding My post above was only to comment on the others who said they were unable to contact Mytek. Good that you’re able to reply to the apparent confusion as well. It’s unfortunate that manufacturers such as yourself get... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? Probably not the right thread to bring this up (we don’t want anyone here to start having heart palpitations) but dealers are now taking preorders for the new Aurender AP20. $22k and it’s all yours. |
