| I just don't get PC Audio This is a fascinating thread, since I understand so little about the technology and options. I will sit on the fence for a while. I do agree with the earlier post that when hi-res downloads become the norm (better than RB[?]), that will be the tip... | |
| Speaker advice? Vandersteens are great (especially for the price), but I think that Rotel may be underpowered for them. | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? If you don't need gain, I think a Placette Active (buffer)would accomplish what you are looking for without tubes. | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Ultimately your right, difficult impedance loads (not necessarily but jagged, irregualar dips and spikes) really do need SS. | |
| Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3 Well, it started with a question and now I have taken the plunge. I'll be using Mullard 12au7, RCA Blackplate 12au7, RCA Cleartop, RCA 5814, and Siemens 5814 and mixing and matching those with RCA 6SN7 GT Greyglass and Sylvania 6SN7GTA early on th... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, If your speakers do present a difficult load, there is proabably no better all tube amp (hybrids would also work)to deal with dipping impedances the Music Reference RM9 Special Edition which is one of the few amps that actually increases power int... | |
| Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3 Jtimothya, great reading on that link. Thanks. | |
| Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3 I have Herbies on every tube for good measure. I did spring for the RCA GT (Grey Glass - 1940s)that are suppose to be very well matched and I'm keeping my fingers crossed, quiet. I think I'm going to stick with Sylvania early GTBs for the M-60s, t... | |
| Need Some Help Choosing an Integrated Amp Anthony, I would be suprised if 27 watts does not do it for you. I had the 30 watt Ars Sonum and it drove my 89db Merlins plenty loud. I've not heard the SE, but all VACs that I have heard have been wonderful; hope it works out for you. | |
| Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3 While I understand that to some extent, every tube matters, do the 6sn7s make as noticeable difference in the MP-3 compared with the 12au7s? That is, are these slots worth spending NOS money on? On the M-60s, do the front and back 6sn7s (V1? V2?)g... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Lot's of good designer's; it makes you realize how many talented folks have been involved with the industry, and how hard it would be to pick just five inductees in an inaugural launching of the Designer Hall of Fame. Makes me eager to get to RMAF... | |
| Need Some Help Choosing an Integrated Amp I mentioned it (Red Wine) earlier in the thread. If the SE doesn't work for you let me know. | |
| Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3 I popped in the Clear tops last night and love them (in this unit), I just bought another pair and Mullard 12au7s from the Blackburn factory - I should be set. I also bought some RCA 6sn7GT - grey glass from the 1940s for the MP-3. Thank you all f... | |
| Need Some Help Choosing an Integrated Amp Since the SET option was raised, I would also investigate the Almarro 318B which received a strong review in sixmoons, isn't very expensive, has 18 watts, made in Japan by hand, and looks handsome to me. I thought about buying one for a while, but... | |
| Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3 Any experience with mullardtubes.com? I've seen them advertise here recently, but I've not heard them mentioned by any users, yet. |
