| Sieman-Phillips 7308 and JAN Phillips 6922 Tomycy6 is right. For a better understanding and history go to Brent Jessee's site and read what he has to say about the 6922 tubes. | |
| Classic 16.0 Integrated Amp Can't comment on the 16.0 but I do have the 6.1 and its pretty good. At first I thought it was great, thinking it would mellow out some but it retained just a bit of its stridency. This was through some Tonian TL-D1s and those speakers are very re... | |
| Amplifier progression and change If you live with only 2 sources and no remote, I'd check out the Burson integrated.I just got the older model and it is stunning. I can't believe it but from what I've read, the newer model is even better sounding. | |
| Revisiting Tube Recommendations for Cayin TA-30 I, too, had the very same amp you have and only sold it because it got too hot in my upstairs apartment. That was one great sounding amp. If its tubes you're looking for and good advice to go with it, try Brent Jessee at his site. He is most accom... | |
| Article explaining how CD players work There is a great intro to a review that opened my eyes to how CD players work. It doesn't quite answer your question but goes a long way to explain some of it. The article is a review of the PS Audio Perfect Wave in the Dec. '09 issue of 6moons.co... | |
| music hall 25.2 DAC mod Rja, That is correct. | |
| Need Help on HeadPhone AMP The Burson HA-160 headphone amp just got a rave reveiw from Srajan @6moons. It retails for $699 but partsconnection might have it for less.As for headphones, it's all a matter of taste. | |
| music hall 25.2 DAC mod Being a noob with tubes, please bear with me.There is a label from Brent Jessee on the box that has a space for Gm1 & Gm2 and both have a 'check' after them.Tube type is 6922 and brand is RTC, Mfg. = Mazda. Prod. type = 1971 France.On the tube... | |
| music hall 25.2 DAC mod I, too, got a NOS '71 Mazda from Brent Jessee (w/RTC label) and it really transformed this DAC. He said he'd put it up against any EAT valve as theyare reversed engineered replicas built to very high tolerances but can't usethe same metals used in... | |
| Diffusion versus absorption behind speakers? I was told to try some wool carpets or blankets behind my speakers to keep my downstairs neighbor happy. I tried some thick 2.5' X 3' cotton rugs behind my speakers and she can't hear a thing now. If it can keep the sound from running down the wal... | |
| Depairately seeking 1980's Sovtek 6922's Try Brent Jessee at Audiotubes. He doesn't appear to stock them but he might be able to locate them for you. I just ordered a rare '70s Mazda for a great price. They don't pop up that often. | |
| pacific valve&electric Some here say their Doge pre amp is among the best they've heard.I have the Classic 6.1 SS integrated and like it very much. I've spoken to them a few times and they are pleasant to deal with.Give them a call. | |
| music hall dac25.2-rca or xlr? Haven't tried the balanced out since I can't use them but the RCAs out with the tube sounds great. I know this doesn't answer your question but from what I'm getting out of mine, you should have no qualms just using the tube outputs. The tube out ... | |
| music hall 25.2 DAC mod It's great to hear positives about this DAC. I've had mine for about 2 months now and couldn't be happier. Tried swapping out the tube for a Matshshita and though the bass firmed up a bit, the top end lost air and life and never opened up. After w... | |
| What gives? CD’s, Solid State? You just might want to try a tube DAC. I'm breaking in a Music Hall DC 25.2 and it blows my Consonance CD-120 Linear into the weeds. I leave in on the lowest,'locked' setting as the 96 and 192 settings seem a bit etched or too finely honed for my ... |
