| TRL Sony 2000es or RAM Toshiba 3960 I'm sending Paul a Marantz SA14. Paul said that after mods, the only competition it has, is TRL's own $30K machine. Here's hoping! :-) | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Guido - :-D Got it yesterday! It arrived in good shape. Whew! As I type this it has been burning in for 31 hours. Not sure where to begin talking about it. The build quality? Unbelievable! Yes it's heavy. When you open the top, you can't help but ... | |
| DK Design NOS Valves? 711smilinSeems as though you've had a change of heart. Best to you. :-)paul | |
| DK Design NOS Valves? 711 SmilinWhere do you find enough Amperex pinch waist d getter from the 50's that will allow you to collect them? C'mon share your secret. ;-) | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Hmm. Thanks Tvad. I hadn't considered that. I suppose, if Emmanuel entered the info, that would generate a tracking # automatically. 5 more days, can't wait. Hope I'm not letting my expectations be too high. :-) | |
| tube upgrade for first sound I could just scream! I was expecting delivery of the Frist Sound, yesterday 3/18. I looked up on the UPS tracking site, and lo and behold.....the "RESCHEDULED" delivery date is now 3/24! How does that happen? The unit was obviously shipped - then ... | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? hi Dave - NO! I was tracking the delivery from ups. (scares me to begin with) and the Pre was "rescheduled" for delivery to 3/24! Six days past the original delivery date! What's up with that? How does that happen? Emmanuel Ships the unit - it has... | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Well gang. I figured I might add some thoughts to this thing I started. There are, after all, several tube preamps which, by design, do not leak DC. (Yay!!!! For all the Krell owners out there.)I am one day away from taking delivery on a new First... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound GuidocoronaI'll be getting the standard configuration. Hoping it's here this week! When Emmanuel first emailed me he seemed genuinely excited that I would be pairing the FS with my Krell. The first review I read, (Sounstage) was based on the stand... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Guidocorona Before I answer you, I just wanted to thank you for asking Emmanuel about the Hot Rod First Sound units. :-)I decided to work my way up the price ladder. Keeping in mind the caveat of DC leakage. The first stop along the way was the Tu... | |
| Tube Pre with remote and 2 pairs of outputs Try the TAD-150 from Bizzy Bee. Around $700 NEW! | |
| Anyone Heard the McCormack UDP-1? I've got to say. I haven't read the review in stereophile. I'm glad I haven't. I've read at least 3 amazingly glowing reviews, and I have to agree with what I've read. The UDP-1 SOUNDS great on redbook, AND SACD in my system. I have no Idea how it... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Artg Thanks for the kind words. I'm really getting excited about putting the FS in my system. I haven't been this excited about a single piece of gear in a long time. :-) Where did you get your pinched waists?thanks againp | |
| tube upgrade for first sound ArtgMy system is pretty simple. you know - simple is as simple does - :-) I currently have a McCormack UDP1 - very outstanding on redbook /SACD/ DVDA. DVD-V is fun too. Although I'm not THAT much of a videophile. The UDP1 runs into a Lexicon MC8 -... | |
| Anyone Heard the McCormack UDP-1? I too think it sounds great on redbook and SACD. I haven't read the Stereophile review. but it was apparently a bit negative. here is a review that is not negative http://www.onsoundandmusic.com./index.html?http://www.onsoundandmusic.com./issues/0... |
