| Cary SLP 2002 or Joule LA 100 Mk III or?w/PassX250 Reb1208 - Regarding your slp 2002, what do you mean by - "The gain stage has been loaded down to give more range on the volume control." I'm thinking of getting an slp 2002, and i need all the info i can get. ThanksPaul | |
| Is the Exemplar 3910 clearly superior to the 2900? Hello Tbg! :-) Did your old 2900 suffer from the popping or hissing at the beginning, or in between, tracks of a disc? I've read alot about it. Is it an annoyance? i'm sure you know why I ask. :-) Be wellpt | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Nealhood - Thanks for the tip on the Decware 685. I'll be honest - I haven't heard of it. But PLEASE put up a post regarding how it sounds. BTW - Where did you get yours? | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Hi AlexDon't misunderstand, what i'm asking. It's not wether the APL 3910 is worth the asking price. It's simply - how far off of the performance mark, are the "bargains"? I am not an electrical engineer, nor do I pretend to be, so I wouldn't know... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Mikannen - Good question. At $3200 and $4200 respectively, the Exemplar and APL machines are pretty expensive. The RAM and Underwood units seem like bargains. I too, wonder how the 'bargain' Mods stack up. | |
| B&W 801 Matrix III...which amp to use?? I had those very speakers. I had good results with the following amps. Aragon 8008BB - (probably won't sound as you want.)Krell KSA 250 - Great stuff! Krell FPB 400cx - GREATER stuff!!. I would say go with a "Class A" amp 250 wpc or better (depend... | |
| Good tube preamp w/ HT bypass Thanks for the info Kincade. I appreciate it. I'm tossing around either a Cary SLP2002 or an ARC LS 16, in the tube world. I'm also hoping to get a listen to an H-Cat P-12A preamp it's SS and supposedly THE preamp! I hope it pans out. The HCAT is ... | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Rwwear - would i just hold the meter contacts on the 'outputs' of the preamp? | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Rwwear - thanks for the technical info. :-) What type of meter? And what should the 'safe' readings be? | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Thanks Rooze, will do. I figure, the worst that can happen is, I'll have to change it back if i don't like it. Of course, I'll try it with my SS stuff, BEFORE I buy the tube pre. I was thinking of the ARC LS16.....or maybe a p-12A, H-CAT. If i go ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Alex - I've been following this thread for a while. Please excuse me for being so abrupt, but - How much does your modded 3910 cost? Does the machine retain it's "universal" status?ThanksPaul | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Rooze - Where did you get the instructions on how to do the operation? Why does Krell NOT ship the amps with the protection? | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Will the manufacturers say if their products "leak" DC? It doesn't seem to be something a company would want to admit. | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Wvick - I think dammage DOES occur. I'm not sure what exactly happens, and I don't want to 'experiment' with my Krell. Newbee - Thanks for the second BTW :-) I might just try a Tubed CDP. I wonder if the (Modded Exemplar, APL) 3910's counts as a t... | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? So to be safe the jumpers SHOULD BE MOVED. Right? How does this effect the sound of the amp? Anybody know of a SS preamp that sounds like a tube preamp?thanksPaul |
