| Futterman. Jump in? Or, not so fast... Roberjerman - Thanks for the comment. I had sent you a message a day or two ago and it appears you might not have noticed. Can you tell me how many hours you get out of a set of tubes on the H3aa's? I've read somewhere that they will go 10,000 hou... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I'm using an Innersound Electrostatic amp. It is a circa ~`1999 - 2001 or so amp that I have seen for $2000 and less. | |
| Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote? Supratek - I think the Chardonnay is priced right around $2000. Seek out the thread entitled "Preamp Deal of the Century". At one time that thread had 26 million hits. I don't think I ever read through each and every of the 70+ pages. But I read e... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I hope you feel you're still getting value out of this thread. Kinda seems to me that what started out as a pretty straightforward quest - to pick up a wonderful tube preamp - has evolved into a somewhat wide open discussion of many wonderful opti... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Can't remember, but did you mention the size and dimensions of your listening space? If not could you post them here? if you did, could you repost them here? | |
| Almost embarrassed to ask, but... I suggest you search out the thread titled preamp deal of the century on this forum. It will help you learn about the supratek preamp which is right around $2,000 and the Don Sachs SP preamp and the ultraverve preamp. These are all tube preamps an... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I warmly invite you to consider tracking down and auditioning a pair of Quad ESL speakers. 63s, 988s, 2805/2905, etc. Any of these might require a rebuild (cost about $2000 with shipping) but there is a reason why these are universally well regard... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? just a quick note about system matching. Over the weekend I took my orchid up to my brothers place. In his system he has a rega CD player and an audible illusions preamplifier. One of their newer ones. Feeding into a big beefy parasound Power Am... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? One other point I want to make is that you're really not in that unique of a position with respect to finding it hard to audition some of this equipment. At least in my experience the very best equipment is hard to find. It's not mass Market. Yeah... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Well, it’s been a while since I looked at this thread. And internet fora are nothing if there aren’t Divergent opinions expressed, right? Having said that, I will recommend that with respect to your power amp question you seek out a white paper wh... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I suggest you look at either Don Sachs or supratek. They are within your budget and are handmade, with point-to-point wiring and are a very, very well-regarded on this forum.Look for a thread on this forum titled. Preamp deal of the century. And l... | |
| People and Place: A review of SW1X DAC SW1XLampizatorABBAS AudioAudio Mirror TubadorMHDT LabsAnd probably Audio Note should be in there somewhere. All these DACs share some similarities with respect to design philosophy and technical approach. And lately all of these are getting rave r... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I think the question of whether a Z is better than a T variant is open for discussion and might depend on other system characteristics. Don Sachs, who builds very well-respected Preamps and buys a ton of tubes from China and uses them in his equip... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? That's pretty high praise for the Shuguang tube. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I think that all this attention being paid in this (very worthwhile) discussion might be drawing attention away from the fact that the stock Orchid is really super satisfying. You don't have to modify it at all to get superb, non-fatiguing music... |
