| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? "I’ve had good luck on E-Bay, but I’ve heard horror stories also."Horror story for me - got curious to try something new after listening to Mullard 2492s. So bought some Amperex Bugle Boys on ebay that fried my pre’s power supply as soon as I powe... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? You can’t spell “Tru-Fi” without “fruit.” Coincidence? I think not.Obligatory relevant thread comment: Pass makes some really good stuff. | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? I get your concerns over repairs and the dealer’s response, but I am in a similar boat with my Symphonic Line electronics from Germany. This fall I had an output board fry in the CDP/DAC (ooo-oooh that smell, can’t you smell that smell?). The solu... | |
| Paradigm Persona series I really wish bo1972 would find this thread. Then we could have a steel cage death match between Tru-Fi and Persona. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Folks, it will go away if you don't respond to it.DFTT (Don't Feed The Troll) | |
| Symphonic Line - No longer in business? Still in business - I’ve been in touch recently with their U.S. representative Klaus Bunge to straighten out an issue with my Symphonic Line CD Player. Seems Rolf Gemain just hasn’t gotten around to updating the company website. | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 Just think how much publicity the entire D'Agostino line has gotten by coming up with these monsters. SuperAmps as clickbait? | |
| Would like to hear from Ayre owners especially those who dared to venture. Not an amp, but my Ayre C-5xeMP player that I use for SACD and DVD-A sounds great with my Symphonic Line pre-amp and monos. | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? The spikes that come with Salon 2s are OK but putting Star Sound Apprentice XL stands under mine made a substantial positive difference. I have them under my amps as well, but they make the biggest difference with the Revels. | |
| First time w/ Tubes - pings/noises normal? Another potential source of noise - your volume potentiometer. I once fiddled with tubes, sockets etc. for about a month before squirting some De-Oxit into the potentiometer and presto! noise was gone. | |
| Preamp tubes ran their life? A few years ago I thought I had a tube issue in my pre-amp. Turns out the volume control pot was dirty, and the sound cleared right up after I sprayed some Caig De-Oxit into it. | |
| Upgrade bug - advice on amp or preamp upgrade from Ayre for Revel speakers? Soix's Plinius suggestion is spot on. I drove my Salon 2s with an SB-301 for a year before upgrading to Symphonic Line Kraft 25s, and the SB-301 did a really nice job putting meat on the bones. | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions 4425, at least we haven't heard about two-dimensional sound. Yet, anyway. | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions 4425, I agree that shilling the products one carries by jumping into threads where the OP never asked about those products - under the guise of “being helpful” or “providing additional options” - is still shilling.But look on the bright side - at ... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions The model example of appropriate dealer participation on the forums is Johnny Rutan of Audio Connection. He only posts when someone asks for his input or is specifically referred to him, or when questions pop up about brands he carries and knows ... |
