| Need Amp recommendation Smart move to up budget. If it was me and I owned the Rogue I would find a warm tube like solid state that has high current that doubles between 4 and 8 ohms. The Rogue is not a lush tube preamp but when matched with a warm side of neutral amp ... | |
| Need Amp recommendation If you can stretch a little find and good deal on a McCormack dna-1. I had a Rouge 99 magnum paired with a DNA-1 rev A 15 years ago and to this day still miss that combo ran it with some Vandersteens. Something about that the Rouge matched with th... | |
| Don Sachs older D2 preamp vs his new version Maybe I should add I have access to a 9 month old Dons Dachs D2 and a 4 year old D2, so there is no wait time. | |
| Don Sachs older D2 preamp vs his new version Jay I mean no disrespect but I talked to Don and that’s just not true. It may take a few months or until spring. From what I was told he’s semi retired and working at his own speed. | |
| Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used Decided on the Audio Hungary a20i bought a demo from a dealer so should be here late next week. It stayed within my budget so I’m good with that normally I tend to go over. I saw a used Jadis in my budget but it was 20 years old and concerned with... | |
| Preamp Opinion PS Audio PCA-2 with HCPS outboard power supply, very fast detailed and warmth of tubes under $1000 if you can find one. Close to reference on a budget. | |
| Anyone know a good tube preamp tech in NYC At $180 an hour $250 minimum might need to a cheaper guy. There’s no trouble shooting. Its just a switch change out. | |
| Anyone know a good tube preamp tech in NYC Thanks, I forgot about him he help me fix a Bruce Moore preamp over the phone. Real nice guy! | |
| Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used Words like syrupy and lush may have been a mistake. kennyc my main system you hear deep in recording, big tight bass, some effects coming out of speakers are so real they will startle you coming out of nowhere. Highs have air and sparkle. I truly ... | |
| Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used I watched a video on the owner/designer of Raven Audio and his thoughts on building an amp were very impressive. His philosophy reminded me of Don Allen a guy that built a preamp for me long ago that cost $800 but sounded better than some $5000 pr... | |
| Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used Maybe syrupy is the wrong word. Warm side of neutral may be better. Around 15 years ago I tried the BAT vk5i, Rouge 99 magnum and thought they were nice but didn’t provide the enjoyment of the others tube preamps I’ve owned. I did look into the su... | |
| Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used Will check out Raven Nighthawk, never heard of them. | |
| Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used I was hoping to find an integrated that can use some tubes I already have. I do have 8 Mullard xf2 and old winged C’s el34’s with a lot of life, 6sn7, rca black and gray glass vt-231, kenrads, some amprex 6922 pinched waist plus others. That’s one... | |
| old console stereos with new electronics? Check out Wrensilva consoles. They use an ice amp and mount speakers on some type of isolation. | |
| Jelco sa 750e If you want to go this route the linn arm but you would have to go above the Ittok to improve the Jelco is a pretty good arm. I had a Audioquest pt-9 long ago which is pretty much a Jelco 750 but straight I rewired it added better din wire and ad... |
