| EAR 834 line stage I don't know anything about the preamp but I have the EAR 534 power amp. It sounds marvellous, is built like a tank and punches $$$ above its weight, which is considerable. Also, when I wanted info on the tubes EAR responded with the information i... | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp My favourites are NOS Mullards or Telefunkens. | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives @flasd You didn't mention what kind of music you listen to. If it's heavy rock forget Maggies or Sonus Faber for that matter. If you don't play rock I can only think the speakers are emphasising poorly recorded material or as has been mentioned y... | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Nord Purifi Class D amplifier. Still being built but should have it mid October. I don't expect it to exceed the SQ of my Rogue Stereo 90 or EAR/Yoshino 534 but hopefully it will at least get close and I'll be able to lift it without the danger of... | |
| Its not vinyl @jasonbourne52 +1 | |
| VTV Amplifier @oldhvymec Which Nord amp did you get and what do you think of the SQ? | |
| Buckeye amps @holmz Regrettably I have a heavy cold and in deference to other attendees I won't be attending Alan March's presentation today. I have tried repeatedly to phone,. message, email Alan since Friday morning but he has not responded. Very disappointi... | |
| Amplifier recommendation @holmz Alan March is presenting at a meeting of the Sydney Audio Club on Sunday which will give me a chance to evaluate his Purifi amps first hand. Not as good as trying out with your own system but better than nothing. | |
| Amplifier recommendation I note a lot of recommendations for Atma-Sphere Class D monoblocks. I don't have the space or money for monoblocks but if Ralph is still reading these posts I wonder if he has a single box Class D on the horizon. Also any plans to find a distribut... | |
| Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room Sonus Faber, either stand mount or floorstanding, the best you can afford, new or second hand if you don't want to stick with ESL or Planar. | |
| Recommendations please! I had the Van Alstine Transcendence which was a great preamp with plenty of inputs. I upgraded to an Aesthetix Calypso and the difference in SQ was marked. The Calypso also has a remote, plenty of inputs both balanced and RCA but it is a line stag... | |
| tube pre & ss amp integrated I have an Aesthetix Calypso preamp and love it. | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement @russ69 What class D amp do you have? | |
| Jacqueline Du Pre (cellist) New Box Set Anyone out there who, like me , were fortunate enough to see and hear Jacqueline DuPre play live would perhaps agree that it was not just her technical brilliance which made her great but also the unbounded enthusiasm she brought to a performance.... | |
| Upgrading tweak1 I'm surprised you haven't been pilloried for positive comments re Chinese clone cables on this site. I too tried Odin 2 and Cardas Clear Light cables and had the same reaction as you, great value cables beating anything I had heard costing... |
