| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? +1 on the Ultraverve from Dehavilland. I bought one used for less than half your budget and immediately sold my Primaluna preamp. The Ultraverve sounded much better than the PL in my system. I rolled many tubes in the PL but to me the key is the U... | |
| Advice on trustworthy audio resellers who check condition, offer trial period? Upscale Audio sells used on their site. I have only bought new from them in past years, but their service and support was good for me. | |
| Synchronicity: Buffalo Springfield and The Beatles I will have to check it out. That box set is awesome, music and sound. One of my all time favorite bands. Very interesting Neil comments about the mono/stereo versions also. I had all those lps but still got the box, for like 15% off which was a g... | |
| Manley Chinook - chronic issues Also I remember reading somewhere someone had a Chinook noise problem because they had only placed the top cover on the unit and not screwed it back on. | |
| Manley Chinook - chronic issues I bought a used Chinook a few years ago from a dealer (not Upscale) and have rolled tubes, used MM and MI carts, different loading and gain settings and never had a problem. I also had an inexpensive resistor fail in a brand new, modified preamp o... | |
| MC cartridge loading: still baffled Good post on anti-skate! Learning never gets old. Thank you all! | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Bitfrost multibit on US Audio Mart - been there awhile, since I got mine. May take less. Just FYI. I use an Audioquest coax. Reasonable price to match DAC and CD player. Have fun with those CDs! | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I also looked hard at the compact Marantz CD player at Music Direct which would sound good, but met my needs by using what I had and only buying a used DAC and keeping the DAC upgrade, and transport upgrade for that matter, open. Used all that ext... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I have been through this as well. 95% vinyl listening but have a great collection of CDs not available on vinyl. For a $700 budget I would buy a NEW transport at best deal I could get, and spend the rest on the best USED Schitt DAC I could find. I... | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? No. | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. +1 on Ballads. | |
| Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story @mtbrider, I watched Horn from the Heart last night. Very good. Thank you for the heads up. | |
| Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story Speakin of Peter Green, I just got his second solo lp after Fleetwood Mac on the Music on Vinyl label, “From the Skies”...played it once so far, never heard it before. It is great! | |
| Need under $1500 preamp for my system Dehavilland Ultraverve, used. With leftover buy a phono pre and still be under $1500. Great tube preamp for the money. Check out Dehavilland website to see what you get. | |
| de Havilland Mercury 3 preamplifier review I bought a used Ultraverve and liked it so much I had Kara build me a Mercury III with upgraded Dueland output caps. I am keeping both preamps. Love her stuff and she has been great to work with. Ironically I live in SC also. My power amp is the A... |
