| how close in sound can a tube and ss amp sound ? Mapman, at last; something I can agree with. | |
| how close in sound can a tube and ss amp sound ? Every time I mention this "phenomenon", someone tells me that P = E X I. My 75 watt monoblocks never went to electronics school and they don't know that they are not supposed to kick the crap out of my 150 watt channel SS amp. | |
| how close in sound can a tube and ss amp sound ? Can we agree that it takes a 150 watt SS amp to duplicate a 75 watt tube amp? | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias I have auto bias. It sounds good and I barely know what bias is. I pay to hear the band, not to make the music. | |
| What the heck is "reverse polarity" ? CJ and Audible Illusions make tube preamps that require you reverse the pos and neg leads to your amp, otherwise the audio will be reversed. | |
| building on a budget--looking for amp advice I've had good luck with Arcam. | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-14LS II vs PV-15 II ?? My bad on PV-15. It deviates from previous pre's in that series. Since I can't audition those preamps, I must base my recommendation on the parts I see inside the pre and your choice of music. The 3A and the Modwright are the only one's I got to p... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-14LS II vs PV-15 II ?? Sunnyjim, I am well acquainted with your problem. If you could audition all of these preamps, that would solve it; but since you can't, you're relying on us. That's fair enough, but in order for this to work; you will have to know what kind of mus... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Fabio used all Krell electronics. | |
| Audible Illusions 3A or Modwright SWL9.0Signature? While I am 100% satisfied with my 3A, if I had $2200 to spend for a new pre, it would be the SWL 9 .0SE. with warranty. | |
| Audible Illusions 3A or Modwright SWL9.0Signature? Do you plan on buying new or used? Someone is asking $1250 for a L2B, which is a 3A without the phono, but they don't have remotes. Those capacitor replacements are for re-newing an older 3A. | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Absolutely! I bought a good tuner, and they took the only good FM station off, or changed it to "crappy" music; I forgot which, but my tuner is gathering dust. | |
| Audible Illusions 3A or Modwright SWL9.0Signature? If money is a problem, the 3A is a no brainer. I replaced the 400V 100uF capacitors plus found room for a Solen metalized Polypropylene 100uF 400V and I'm happy as a clam. My 3A has all the dynamics I want. Those capacitors are easy to replace. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? When I was a child, I liked to mix butter and syrup until it became an indistinguishable mess. I called it "butter syrup". (I was a very clever child) I think I'll title this conglomeration of post's, "An exercise in Subobjective observation".How ... | |
| Nana Vasconcelos? M2sweeneys, I got those two Bush dancer CD's. Nobody does Afro Brazilian like Nana. Thanks for the tip. |
