| SUT help @bobsdevices the man himself! Thank's for your insight. | |
| SUT help @billstevenson Agree. I don't want this to turn into a debate on whether one is necessary or sounds different or not, since I'm a pretty firm believer in having to use my own ears to determine that. Even in my own system, what is perceptable to me... | |
| SUT help @lewm That's a very good point! | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? @vthokie83 Thanks for the heads up. I'd never come across his website before. I'll check it out! | |
| SUT help @theflattire interesting! I'm definitely considering the Umami (though I also thought about the Etsuro Cobalt) but I struggle spending $4k (or $6k) on a cart that will have to be replaced every couple years due to wear. The trade in is a 30% disc... | |
| SUT help @theflattire Thanks for sharing. Pretty simple and clean inside. @billstevenson Bob's is definitely an option too. Looks like full refunds accepted minus 10% restock fee for 2 weeks. Could be wise to start there since if I can't really discern an... | |
| SUT help @theflattire home&scitek on ebay? Interesting. Looks like they just use a kit basically. | |
| SUT help @theflattire I think the Sound Tradition Live MC-10 uses HM-7s, but not totally sure. I can't find any info on it as far as if they are still made. The only pre-made SUTs I can find with HM-7 are Swissonor and they're something like $3300, which i... | |
| SUT help Oh - two others that have been mentioned to me in the past: 1. Sound Tradition Live MC-10 (but I don't believe these are still being made?) 2. Sculpture A mini nano | |
| SUT help @lewm Thank you for that - nice and simple! Makes total sense. The only reason I've wanted to try one out is to see if it will improve soundstage width/depth. I love the Modwright stage and the MC input is very nice, but I've never tried a SUT, so... | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? Has anyone used the KR 54UG or Sophia Electric 54UG? Bonus if you've used them and compared with EML Mesh 54UG or NOS RCA 54UGs. | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? @evank Interesting! Well I might be interested should you choose to move them, depending on cost. That's good re: the spatials. The new Q3 models (pretty huge) threw out one of the most 3D soundstages I've heard in person. Pretty magical! | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? @evank Interesting! What didn't you like about them? What tubes do you prefer personally? Also side note - how do you like those spatial speakers? I heard their new Q3 at SWAF in March and was entranced, to say the least. @alexberger i typicall... | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? @alexberger I have actually looked into the Linlai e-6SN7. From reviews, they seem to be superb tubes. A bit spendy for new production, but if they have the performance to back it up, then it is worth it. In the Aric, the pre-amp tubes make an eno... | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? @carlsbad2 that and the fact that they are near $900/each, which is probably an even bigger deterrent. Lot of money to spend for a test! 😅 I assume they'd likely be pretty difficult to re-sell too, if they weren't the right fit preference wise. |
