| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps I am a huge fan of both Shindo and Devore O/96s...I visited two different dealers of both brands, and at my assigned dealer, heard the combo. I know many on this forum love the combo and think they are a great match.They were NOT the best combo i... | |
| 845 tubes. New not old stock Has anyone had 2017 experience with Elrog? I would like to try them, but the data I've found online is mostly from their early days and it was hard to tell if the troubled ones simply failed, or failed and caused amp issues (I never read definiti... | |
| Am I having an affair with my SET monos, or are life-long relationships possible? Ok, I'll spill the beans...Classic Audio Loudspeakers' Hartsfield reproductions with John's own field coil drivers, fed by his personal Atma-Sphere MP-1 pre-amp and Atma-Sphere Novacron amps. I don't know what table and cart he has. The Hartsfiel... | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Ralph, may I order your adapters directly from you? I couldn't see how to order on your site directly. I'd like to try the adapters first, then I'll consider sending you the pre for modifications.Thank you very much for your help. | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Do the adapters you talk about on the site help alleviate that? | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Agreed..."tape output" is full signal (no attenuation)...I misspoke there. Also good advice to contact Ralph...I know he's quite active here as well. | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Charles, do you remember how you connected it? Did he have adapters or did his have SE outs? | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? I'm specifically asking about using them with SET amps that only have RCA/SE connections. | |
| Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them? I bought a pair of Thoress 845 SET monos...very, very nice. Waiting on some NOS replacement driver tubes before I declare full victory and move it to my #1 (to date), but they sound totally awesome with the mismatched ones that came with it alrea... | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP I was totally a triode-mode guy for the first 18 or so months of the 150s. I updated my cabling all around the system to Audience SX (from SE), and I put a really clean pre-amp in front. After that (I think it was the combo), I preferred ultra-l... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp I caved and put the KT150s back in after just under 3 days. It's all the loveliness of the EL34s, but at SCALE. Everything is just "more" of what the EL34s have. Soundstage is much much larger, bass is deeper and a little tighter. Sparkle a li... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp fsonicsmith, I agree that it would be very interesting to see the PL HP (or non-HP) against some of ARC's references and other brands', including the separates stacks obviously (in the reference lines).I don't have an easy way to get my hands on r... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp pokey77--agreed, that comment and the Saturday event results prompted me to put the EL34s I had neatly foam wrapped in the cabinet back into my PL HP last night for a couple more hours of listening, and I have them playing right now again as I ver... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Thanks Kevin and enjoy your trip. I appreciate your throwing this together and also for changing up some of your approach at some of the suggestions. I think you really got a more interesting set of results than you might have otherwise (great c... | |
| Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them? Great stuff, thank you both.I'm coincidentally considering trying an 845 set amp. Quad II Classics are also a great suggestion...will read up more on those.I really want to love the First Watt stuff...someone has suggested I need to pair it with ... |
