| Harbeth Super 5s vs 5+s You know the drill. For people with ordinary means, an investment like that, only they can decide that if is what they like and are willing to shell out that kind of money, for this upgraded model.That said, the obvious expense you have invested i... | |
| Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions So did you try it? Or are you just asking hypothetical questions regarding the possibility of such a set up? I strongly recommend you try it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Theoretical audio is never a great substitute for the actual audi... | |
| Job Integrated Amp. How much do they cost? Any financial incentive? You should say so one way or the other. Why are you interested in them? Could you give a quick overview of what this offers over existing models? | |
| Any Audio Research Reference 610T Owners here? If money is not an issue, you may want to try Gold Lion (Russian) KT-88s. I don't think you will need to get more power out of them using the new Tung Sol KT-129s or 150s.I know you can get matched quads, I did, Matched octets I don't know. I woul... | |
| Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions You will be very happy I bet with the tube output power. The precision of the digital pre will work great with the ability of tube power amps to create a holographic 3D sound stage. I don't think the electrostats will be good, go with the 3As and ... | |
| I need info to have JM Labs Daline 6.1 repaired. Try Bill Legall at Millersound. He is a perfectionist craftsman. Not sure if he has the Data you seek but he can fix your speakers. | |
| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport TEAC is the parent company of Esoteric obviously their high end division. I would hope they apply some of what they use for Esoteric into TEAC, but I wouldn't count on it. If they put Neo -VRDS in a reasonably priced TEAC CD player, I would buy on... | |
| Dynaudio c4 signature & c4 platinum difference Please forgive me in advance about the Dyne Audio C speakers. What role does the large almost slab looking pillar open to the drivers back action? It looks like the drivers are put the baffle which is then attached to the big structure, but open a... | |
| Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem Cables cost something. potentially a great deal, unless he promised them for free. My guess is that you might need to change more than cables to achieve the sound you want . I would hear him out with the cable cure, but then it is time to change t... | |
| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport I am surprised that there is even one at that price. I think you may want to up your ante If you want a good Esoteric, I am less familiar with CEC. | |
| Speaker improvements Which models sport this new diffraction baffle? | |
| Any HE Speakers with Sonus Faber Sound? The sound will be different, with the SET almost requirement of Horn loaded drivers or very efficient full range single driver speakers. I think that they are an acquired taste. | |
| ever used KT88 for bass and el34 for mids/treble If you are really running separate amps not channels for the treble and mids on one and using another amp for the bass, then you can use different tubes. I think it should sound good or great. BTW how did you set up your crossovers? | |
| Need reasonably priced balanced preamp How much is reasonable too you? There are bargains at all price points, once you get away from absolutes like free or close to it. | |
| Is no preamp really better that a good preamp? The correct answer is no. That should suffice for now. Even attenuated power amps with dials for gain like my McIntosh must have circuits that allows for attenuation to control volume is indeed acting just like a passive pre amp.The correct answer... |
