| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp I would second the previous suggestion regarding Pass. Also, I've heard Spectral preamps driving non-Spectral amps and it sounded very good. To meet your price target you will likely have to find the pramps here on Audiogon. | |
| Merlin TSM MMe's and "Jolida" I'd recommend the Jolida JD 707A rather than the 302B. | |
| sibilence....any cures out there? Do you use a tube preamp/amp? If so, the brand of tube can have an affect. In my system Sylvania is too sibilant. I sold the Sylvanias to a guy in town - his system is darker sounding than mine - and the Sylvanias were a great match. He said he wa... | |
| $2000 Budget for a speaker + integrated amplifier I'd consider Silverline Minuet Supreme speakers and a Jolida 102B integrated amp. | |
| Wilson Wat Puppy 7 or Avalon Opus Ceramique? The times I've owned monitor speakers I tended to listen to them a little too loud in order to get the fullness in the low frequencies that I enjoy. When I put a sub with them I enjoyed them at a lower volume, relying on the sub to give a subtle f... | |
| My speakers - weak link - proposals ? Johncanuck,As the previous posts have requested, a lot more information is needed before anyone can accurately help you narrow your search. Auditioning the speakers with your system would of course the final step.I would like to add too that I hav... | |
| tube recommendation please Gte357,In my experience with my Rogue 99 preamp and M180 monoblocks the signal tube position, as I call it, definitely provided the dominant signature. This was also my experience with an Ayon Spirit integrated amp. It sounds like you'll have to e... | |
| tube recommendation please If the manufacturer could confirm this, that would be great, but I found a picture of your amp on the internet and it looks like the 12AX7 tubes (the pair in the front) are most likely the signal tubes and the 12AU7 tubes (the pair in the rear) ar... | |
| Tell me about "tubey" tubes. For the small tubes Mullards are pretty warm. For the large tubes, the KT90s that I have heard seemed a bit warmer to me than the Gold Lion KT88s. | |
| My 1st tube amp: transformer buzz audible 15 feet? I have a pair of monoblock amps and one of them had a slight buzz that eminated from a transformer. The buzz was related to a quality control issue with the epoxy inside the transformer in a small batch of transformers they had received right arou... | |
| Ayon Orion or Rogue Tempest III? My experience is with the Ayon Spirit-1 and the Rogue Tempest-III Super Magnum.Circuit:Ayon Orion is pure Class-A with zero loop negative feedback.Rogue Tempest-III is Class AB with just a little loop negative feedback, but I don't know how muchPe... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon,The size of the capacitor does not indicate its capacitance. You can get a meter from Sears for about $25 that will let you measure capacitance. That way you can be confident when you place your order. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Gentlemen,Is PVC an acceptable material for a potting container?Thanks,John | |
| Ayon Orion or Rogue Tempest III? I am familiar with the Ayon Spirit-1 and the Tempest-3 Super magnum, would that be of help? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Regarding my last post, I figured out the answer so would ask that no one waste their time writing a reply.Jburidan,There is a "Black" capacitor described on the Duelund website:"The new VSF Black series, designed to fit between our VSF and CAST s... |
