| Tube Preamp/solid pwr amp or solid pre/ tube pwr My personal preference, after years of enjoying a large selection of tube and ss components, is a tube pre and a solid state amp. I tend to spend the most money on my preamp and have found that top end tube pre's have been extraordinarily quiet wh... | |
| Looking to hear from Thor owners Hi Guys,Just saw the recent thread and thought I would throw in my two cents (about ugrading to higher power amps). I have a TA-1000 Mk 2 preamp, TA-3000 Mk 2 phono amp and used to have the TPA-30's. Of course, they all sounded great together, but... | |
| Thor TA-1000 MK 2 pre and Aleph amps Os, 2, 5 Hi Bob,I used to live in Naperville but moved to Tinley Park a few years ago (but still in the greater Chicagoland area).

| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? I currently own Canary Audio CA-160 (switchable..100 watts triode or 140 ultralinear) tube monoblocks and they have been a favorite for years. I have seen them used on Audiogon in your price range.I have used them with Avalon Radian speakers (simi... | |
| Exact power.....hookup question NsGarch and Bill_K......thanks for the posts. Looks like I will use them independently with seperate outlets. Based on what I have read it is generally better to hook up the source components to the SP-15a and my tube monoblock amps to the EP-15a.... | |
| Exact Power....sp-15 or ultrapure? Nsgarch.....you hit the nail on the head! The first duplex is exactly as you described, so it must be the SP-15a. Mine doesn't have the tag or model #, not sure if it came off or was an early model. Thanks again for your help, as this will assist ... | |
| Exact Power....sp-15 or ultrapure? Larryken....thanks for your reply. I really do like my EP-15a as well. From my research all the EP-15a's had the window which show the voltage, mine does not, it is just a plain silver face, so I'm not sure if it's the SP-15a or Ultrapure (both of... | |

| Tape input on preamp - Can I use for other sources Hey Guys,Many thanks for all the help! I just purchased a used Thor TA-1000 preamp (line level) and it has only 4 inputs (one of which is labeled 'tape'). I was truly hoping that I could use the 'tape' input for another source component.This is th... |
