| Audio Horizon Pre Owners - Tube recommendations? Thanks, Mark and Newbee --Looks like Joseph is going to be sending me a quad of Siemens ECC88s to replace the Amperex.I appreciate your input!Rob | |
| Potential DAQuestion - Tube preamps and Buffers Steve --You've piqued my curiosity in a big way, only bolstered by what 4hannons just said.I've sent you a PM via Agon, Steve.Thanks again, all! | |
| Potential DAQuestion - Tube preamps and Buffers Hi, Zd542. Thanks again.Having enjoyed my Opus 21 for a number of years, I would *dream* of getting rid of it until I was convinced of a clear cut difference. Problem is, I live far, far away from any high-end shops, so demo'ing is a bit difficult... | |
| Potential DAQuestion - Tube preamps and Buffers Thanks, Steve - That was my understanding of the async.I'm still looking in that direction, although I appreciate Zd542's nod to the Opus. I would like to try something other at some point.Looked at the Wavelength tubed DACs. Might be a bit expens... | |
| Potential DAQuestion - Tube preamps and Buffers Thanks, Zd542. I will certainly keep that in mind. I'm sure there are plenty of other things I could do to improve the sound in lieu of a new DAC.Thing is, I've read a lot of positive about Async USB DACs, whereas the Opus only accepts 96KHz S/PDI... | |
| Potential DAQuestion - Tube preamps and Buffers Thanks, folks. I had already gotten the impression that the tube buffer would be a bit redundant in this setup. (Actually, I think Santa is bringing me one, but it is returnable if it doesn't work out.)When we first got the Audio Horizons pre-amp,... | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. ** Update **I'm pleased to report that this issue has been resolved by Spectron.After the amp was returned by UPS due to an obsolete Spectron address, I sent it back in on Oct. 22nd. It was returned on Nov. 19th. The lead engineer told me: "I susp... | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. Revrob --Does your amp issue sound something like this?YouTube video of my Spectron issueRob | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. Revrob -- I've replied to your private message. Sorry for the delay, I've been offline for a month.Sadly, the amp never made it to Spectron for repair. No one at Spectron had informed me that they moved locations two years ago, so I sent it to the... | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. ~Mcintech -Thanks for putting this into perspective for me.You see, I never had any of the jobs you mentioned, nor do I have 32 years electronics repairs experience. Heck, I probably couldn't recite Ohms Law Theory on a bet. Clearly, then, I can't... | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. ~Update:~Spectron was *highly* responsive to this situation, and I've had a good email exhange with the folks there, and a couple of really nice phone conversations with Toni. I can safely say that they understand how frustrating this situation is... | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. Thanks, Knghifi. | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. Jazzcourier - I understand what you're saying, but given the circumstances I've encountered, my experiences are different from yours. Specifically, I sent this amp to them with the same problem in 2011, and they sent it back un-fixed.As an update:... | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. I like the way you think, Unsound! Last time, it was $100 to ship one-way, and it wasn't fixed.Thanks for your reply, Chayro. Unfortunately, I can't just walk away. There is simply no room in my budget to replace this, so if I can't get a fix, I'l... | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. A bit of a bump on this, as I'm calling Spectron today.Can anyone recommend a good, independent tech who might want a go at this problem? Thanks. |
