| Best amp under $6k, in your opinion? CK, do you like the NuForce better than comparably priced tube amps? or do you basically prefer owning SS? | |
| Holographic imaging 09-15-08: Pubul57My impression is that my equipment is much more "holographic" than what I hear in live music (jazz, chamber), and live music is much more dynamic than what I can get out of my system. | |
| Best preamp for atma sphere m60 under $3000 used? Hi Spencer. I do wonder if your "issues" with the MP-3 were based on the phono stage which seems to have some noise issues and seems to require very quiet tubes to work best. As a line stage I think it works very well indeed and it sound quite dif... | |
| Best preamp for atma sphere m60 under $3000 used? Pedrillo, it's not just tubes, I have had many top flight tube amps, it is the magic of Atma-sphere, OTLs, Class A, and triode. I've come to the conclusion that IF your speakers are OTL friendly, they are very tough to beat - of course OTLs won't ... | |
| Best EL-34 Amps? If they were voiced with the S30, no doubt they will be driven wonderfully by the RM10s, but as much as I love my RM9s, it is hard to beat an OTL with OTL friendly speakers, but very nice for a high quality change of pace (which is why I keep the ... | |
| Best EL-34 Amps? The RM10 is 35 watts and it is enough power on its own terms, but when you put the 160 watt RM9 in the difference in power makes a difference that is preferable - I was attributing it to the power difference and the fact that it looses no wattage ... | |
| Holographic imaging Will the Hcat be at RMAF? Would be nice to hear it and we could meet an argue there. | |
| Best EL-34 Amps? Kenreau, have your tried KT88s in the Cayin. I wonder because I have a Music Reference RM9 Special Edition which was oringinally equipped with NOS Siemens EL34s but I bought RAM Labs KT88s and thought it was much better with my Merlins. I know Bob... | |
| Dodd preamp vs. McCormack RLD-1 preamp What I love about the J is NPs decision to give it that very high input impedance (242kohm) specifically for the purpose of making it an easy load for tube preamps - a smart idea as the combination of a good tube preamp with the J is as Glenn now ... | |
| Best amp under $6k, in your opinion? Where can you find a Berning zH 270? | |
| Holographic imaging I'm confused. | |
| Replace my Berning ZH-270? Not suprised there is no answer from Blackwillard. The Merlins were great 15 years ago and have only gotten better - don't know how to weigh the "marginally" comment, other than to say each generation has been an improvement and the VSM is one of ... | |

| Help with Pre-Amps From the QS website:"I don't know of a better line stage preamp for around a kilobuck." Sam Tellig, Stereophile,March 2001The Quicksilver Line Stage Preamp embodies the Quicksilver philosophy of simplicity. It uses only one 12AX7 per channel, resu... | |
| Help with Pre-Amps In your price range, I would consider a Quicksilver Audio linestage, very, very good for the price. I don't think it is much above that new, and should be in your range used. |
