| Character of EL-84 amps Mikirob, I have seen those and emailed with Dennis a little. He had a 6L6 SE but I was worried about the low watts. I'm sure his Magnavox EL84 rebuilds are great. Viridian the RM-10 puts out the same power as the 8B so I'd be OK unless I get a big... | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state Followup on the Mapleshade cables....Nada. It's been a couple weeks at least so I checked and my card hasn't been billed. I called and got a nice lady, said it was in backorder, meaning they will ship my order when they get more cable made. I canc... | |
| Please Recommend a Low Gain Solid State Amp ARC Boy, I really loved reading that post Distortions. | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state I certainly will report on the Mapleshade cables.I emailed with George about the Lightspeed and sent him specs for my Creek CD43 Mk II, Marantz 8B. Kind of surprising the price has remained the same. He said I'm OK. I want to compare those specs t... | |
| Character of EL-84 amps Viridian, I think you told me about the Acrosound once before when I posted a question about neutral (non-fat) tube amps. I'll keep an eye out. I have been leaning toward an RM-9 but maybe the RM-10 is worth considering too. Clio99 have you heard ... | |
| Please Recommend a Low Gain Solid State Amp ARC Well, I really think the culprit is that SP-8. I'd be willing to forward some funds to help you pay for a new pre. :-) | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state 4hannons, is it necessary to use a tube buffer with the Lightspeed?Thanks. | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state 4hannons, I certainly believe you, as I am quite surprised at how smooth and sweet the ST-140 sounds. I see why people say it has a very tube-like sound. It really has a very nice balance across the spectrum, and a very clean but buttery musical p... | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state Counterbiz, thanks much for your post and welcome. I am rather new myself. I would very much like to try biamping since I just obtained the B&K. However, I'm listening to ProAc monitors with a crossover of 3000 Hz. I would be putting the impor... | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state Swampwalker, Charles1dad, and Lloydelee21, I am beginning to think the same thing; the pre is the heart of things and what I should focus on. A new CJ is exactly what I need, does anybody know the next Powerball numbers? What do you all think abou... | |
| 4 ohm or 8 ohm tap on old tube amps? Yes I heard about the damping factor. My bass is really tight for an old tube amp, and I wonder if the system will be less so on the 8 ohm tap. I'll try it tonight and post back.BTW I read on some site that Sid Smith and Saul Marantz disagreed abo... | |
| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state Ssglx, funny you should suggest that, I just ordered some helix plus last night, after a long pleasant conversation with Pierre. I happen to own a Scott integrated, and it was fascinating to hear what he does with them. Interesting chap to say the... | |
| Cary CAD 120s MkII vs. Music Reference RM200 MkII Wouldn't the RM-9 be more comparable to a Cary? Course you can't get one new but Roger has them. | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... Hi Guys, well I've spent a few days with the B&K ST-140. Thought I'd put it in a new thread though, as some person might be interested but might not find it in this McCormack thread. To wrap the McCormack topic though, I won't be buying one, a... | |
