| stereo preamp $2-5K suggestions I haven't read all the post as I see some are in regard to the speakers. As others have mentioned, the preamp has to be compatible with the amplifier which means a lower output impedance when mating with solid state amps. There are a lot of good c... | |
| Need advice on a tube line stage If you are interested having a tube preamp custom built with the options you want, we do a lot of custom builds. Of course doing comparisons going this route is not possible. | |
| JOLIDA Issue Very possible you could have had a bad tube from the start. Call your dealer (or Jolida if bought used) and let them know what's going on.Whenever dealing with tube products, the tubes are always first suspect when there is a problem. | |
| Can you recommend a simple Tube pre amp? Shubert, If you can contact me here through AudioGon and let me know who this is and what piece you have, we can figure this out as well as why I did not get or respond to your inquiries. You can also try emailing me again at the Response34 addres... | |
| Why do designers/manufacturers...? I think we all know that no matter how good us manufactures design any part of a product, there will always be someone out there that believes it can be improved upon. Too many times a 'tweak' is not better, just different.".....They would be bett... | |
| Why do designers/manufacturers...? Its all about money and inventory. It cost a lot of money to stock expensive "tweaky" stuff. This also leads to higher selling cost. A high volume manufacturer has to remain consistent. There are a lot of consumers, in fact most of them, that dont... | |
| Gain of line preamplifier No one type of preamp is going to be ideal for every system. There are many variables to consider such as the type of source being used, gain of the amplification and output voltage or gain of the preamplifier.We all have our views on passive vs a... | |

| Preamp help? Any decent preamp will match up well with the Carver tube amps. I personally prefer tubes but regardless of what you choose, be sure to look at something of decent quality. I have heard the Carver amps on numerous occasions (we have shown with Car... | |
| 300B PSET Missed a word above......"less power should NOT mean less bass". | |
| 300B PSET I have designed both SET and PSET and still make both. My experince, as mentioned above is that a well designed SET should not compromize dynamic authority. Less power should mean less bass.PSET amps done right can provide the best of both worlds.... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I don't think its a lack of interest in high end audio but more a lack of appreciation of music by the younger generation. If you listen to todays music, it becomes obvious that no matter how good the system, it will still sound like crap. High en... | |
| Need advice on a tube line stage Hi JA, It will be interesting to see your findings with a passive unit(s). Curious as to which ones you will be trying. I have found that passives and solid state amps don't provide the most potential the amp has to offer. There seems to be a lack... | |
| HT input anomaly on Grounded Grid Preamp It sounds to me that there is certainly something not correct in the wiring. I have been designing and building tube preamps for years and many with HT bypass. It is a very simple configuration and the volume control should have absolutely no effe... |
