| tube pre amp plus solid state power amps? I always used that combination in the past because I could not afford a high powered tube amp. Recently I purchased a tube amp, they are much better to my ears. I also have a tube pre and high quality SS. The difference is in your depth of listnin... | |
| What is your favorite tube for a preamplifier ? the RCA12au7 NOS is my favorite tube. | |
| Need help choosing a preamp If you like Adcom, there is a GFP 565 for sale on this website. | |
| which preamp to buy??? Conrad Johnson PV10 is your best bet. Add RCA 12au7 NOS tubes and you will be in audio heaven. | |
| Reel to Reel for play back I have been into reel to reel since 75. My huge vinyl collection was the reason for reel to reel. I had a Teac X1000R. I now own an Otari Mx-5050 and a Technics 2 track 1500. In comparison, the playback on the Otari sounds as good as the recorded ... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue I am using the audible illusions 3A. There is no better preamp for the money. | |
| C.J. PV-5 vs PV-10's 11's and 12's I have a PV-10 in one system and a PV-12 in another system. Although the PV-10 is good, the PV-12 is better. | |
| Primaluna and Rogue I bought a prologue 6 a couple of months ago and I have not quit listening since. After switching to NOS tubes, I believe it sounds better than ARC. | |
| Tubes for Modulus 3A I have owned a Modulus 3A for many years. I breathed new life into my unit by replacing the 400V 100UF electrolytic capacitors with new ones; same brand and value. One of the electrolytics is too difficult to replace, I left it in. I found room to... | |
| Tube el34 I recently purchased 2 quad of el34 Tungsol for my prima luna 6 mono blocks, and I am quite satisfied. | |
| Matched Tubes do I need them and why? They should me matched. This should not cost much more. If you want to take your pre to a whole new level, buy NOS which cost more. I would guess the 12ax7 are for the phono, while the 12au7 are for the line. You can buy the most expensive pair fo... | |
| Tonearm re-wire - what would you use? Incognito wire from Galen Carol Audio. Specially for Rega Arms. Rewiring the tone arm rewarded me with a fantastic improvement in the sound of my Rega P3. | |
| Tubelike SS Power amp There is no such animal. Buy a tube amp and enjoy. | |
| Next step: tube pre or tube power amp? A tube pre is the best start. Tube power amps are hot and expensive. In order to get the best out of a tube amp you will need to roll tubes, and that can get quite expensive. | |
| Audio Research or Conrad Johnson Tube Pre-Amp??? I own a PV10a and a PV12L, they both deliver that exquisite CJ sound. NOS 12au7 RCA Blackplate tubes take them to a whole new level. Get copper or brass tube dampers when you order tubes. I get my tubes from Brent Jessee recording. My tubes have l... |
