| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x @ghasley agreed! Tone and texture in abundance. With the O96s, the combo with the Monbrison seems perfect. Immersive sound and the texture drives a realness I’m enjoying. Thanks for your impressions. | |
| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x @ghasley cv391. Makes me curious about the el84. But the 391 is really good | |
| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x I ended up getting an Shindo Monbrison, which makes the Leben sing. But I also got a Shindo Montille, and that outshines the Leben by no small measure. | |
| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x @lak no, the preamp section has tubes. It’s not merely a volume pot. | |
| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x @lak thank you for another wonderful suggestion. Can’t believe they weren’t on my radar. @kasperbergholt i checked and the balance control and boost are active in preamp in mode. I can’t speak to how the Leben is built, but I do know that over... | |
| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x @kasperbergholt 2 great suggestions. I’ll look at the Leben preamps. And I’ll do some reading about Yamamoto. What do you like about that maker? I have not checked to see about the tone and balance functions when in preamp mode. I’ll check in the... | |
| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x @jasonbourne71 thank you. I’ve had no exposure to ML, but you’ve got me curious! What do you like about ML? | |
| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x @blackbag20 great suggestions. I’ve often thought about Backert. I’ve heard so many good things. ARC is another great idea. Any suggestions for model? I’m thinking about Shindo. Heard good things about synergy with Leben and Devore. Also... | |
| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x @lak i really like the Bottlehead preamp. Maybe I should stay with it. It was relatively cheap and bested the preamp section of the Leben. But as an audiophile the little voice always starts asking questions. | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help Thank you! To KT-77s are a revelation on the Leben cs600x. They wanecthe amp up for more lively and complex music including pop and rock adding both dynamics and speed. Thank you for the suggestions @davehg. | |
| Pairing Border Patrol with Devore O/96 @missioncoonery do you have Devore’s direct email address? | |
| Pairing Border Patrol with Devore O/96 @pcorys Thank you!! I’m convinced | |
| Pairing Border Patrol with Devore O/96 Thank you @pcorys. I’m concerned the 8 w provided by the tonmeister won’t be enough. The Devores aren’t as efficient as rated. I think that’s why I’ve been hearing push-pull amps are a better choice. Thoughts? | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much The Covina dealer is generally unpleasant. He sounds burnt out and just wants to make sales. He also has the nasty habit of asking what you own and insulting the stuff he doesn’t sell. |
