| What Solid State PreAmp? I agee with Larry on this one. My latest preamp is Dodd and tubes that it cam with were JJs new stock that sound like crap. In contrast, Mullards or Amperex pumped new life into Dodd that out of the box was lacking soul and character. Since it is ... | |
| RWA amp with DODD preamp both battery powered Cruz123,Good news bad news.Bad news first:JJs suck and should be replace as soon as possible.Good news:Dodd is very responsive to tube rolling and it's the tube roller's delight. I have visited another audiophile today and took my Dodd for a ride.... | |
| Who do you like for equipment mods? I like Bob as much as the next guy ( he is a genius ) but if you guys will keep mentioning his name - he won't get any sleep. Besides the turn-over isn't that bad ....yet. But when it reaches a month then it is our fault. ;)I love my Cybers with B... | |
| RWA amp with DODD preamp both battery powered Cruz123, I am also on the look out for few pairs of Amperex 7308 PQ white label USA as well as Bugle Boy 6DJ8s and Amperex USN-6922 White Label GP. Those were recommended by one of the very first owners of Dodd pre amp. I trust his opinion and wil... | |
| With 15W tube amp, which speakers to use? Omega Super Hemp is very , very good. Zu speakers are nice as well. You can add Emerald Physics CS2 for it awesome performence - with EP CS2s you will need another amp for low frequencies. PS makes nice $1000 mini amp 150wpc I think. Be carefull w... | |
| A future city dweller's dilemma... Or Omega Super Hemp, Super 3. I, like you have had that problem with my 2nd system. I bought AAD 2001 monitors and love it. However it might be very difficulte to find these in your price range......maybe if you sold Maggies ? Sometimes they show ... | |
| Bamboo isolation better than maple? Sure, go for it. I have my stands and MMF 7 turntable plinth made out of Bamboo - works for me........got them from TJMax as well at huge savings on the ones that were demaged. Not an issue since I cut them to size and finish it all with Watco oil... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? There is a difference between Low Fi, Mid Fi or Hi Fi but it is not only in terms of price range ......at least not in my book. I believe it should reflect the differences in quality of the material that is reproduced and its honest, accurate imag... | |
| Hyperion HPS-938 speakers Hawkeye43, are you interested only in HT preamp or you want the best of both Worlds????? It can be done you know. Your budget would help make some useful recommendations. P.SYou will never reach musical nirvana with HT processor alone. No matter h... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Gain skill in TT building and design made me stop looking at any turntables out there. Dodd audio made me stop looking at preamps.Consonance Cyber 800 modify by Bob Backert stop me from searching for new tube power amp.AAD 2001 monitors end the se... | |
| Help me spend $5,000 on a 5.1 speaker system Well, I am not sure about the rest but I would go full range ( or at least very close to it ) all around and sub only for .1 effects. Especially true if surround music is your cup of tea. There is no substitute for full scale presentation IMHO.Als... | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? Dodd Audio.......and yes , it is not the SS but with only two 6922 and only one cap in the circuit it is as transparent as I have heard. Besides its great/awesome sound, it runs on four batteries. Any power issues and power cord selection is out o... | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm Not all things are created equal........BC is not my cup of tea , RWA is.....system sinergy matters more then adding sugar or lemon - start with the best tea and clean water add sugar and lemon later. :) | |
| Speakers for a smaller room/moving issues... With all that space.......Quads will work nicely .....I wished to have that kind of space!!! | |
| RWA amp with DODD preamp both battery powered In short (after few hours) - I really think that I am done........three preamps bought this year , another one on the loan and I belive this preamp is a keeper. I don't want to say how it sounds.....yet, but I am very, very glad I took that chance... |
