| Will a new Preamp sovle my Problem? What have you tried so far? | |
| what is the best amp you've ever heard I think a pair of atmasphere's ma2's driving a pair of soundlab A-1 speakers; for solid state a upgraded pair of mccormack dna-1 monoblocks driving a pair of merlin 4b+'s had a very stunning sound;but hands down the OTL's of atmasphere are the bes... | |
| Best Power amps in $7000 range Would you consider a hybrid amp?If so take a look at the moscode 401hr; 200 watts,tube like sound and a free 30 day in home trial period.Also tube rolling is able to be done without hurting the wallet. | |
| Searching for a new Pre/Pro Again Maybe the emotiva products might serve you well;Check out their website and they have a excellant upgrade plan available.I am running one of their dmc-1 and it is quite nice; it will support 7 channel and generates 2 sides for 9; also supports 4 s... | |
| Who do you like for equipment mods? I would second your choice also; I would add Scott Franklins'(of past MFA)name to the mix, located in the San Jose area.Scott performs excellant mods with the same results as Bob Backert; very highly recommended engineer. | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? I second Pcoombs recommendation of the Klyne pre amp; I have a 6LX3P; excellant build quality,high wife acceptance factor and mates well with my tube amps (cary slam100 and Manley ref 440/200 monos); results are excellant. | |
| Help pick next speakers: Have Paradigm, Totem Would you consider a planar or dipole type speaker? | |
| Sub recommendations for electrostatic speakers thanks guys for some early feedback. | |
| Are Atma-Sphere MP-1 and VSE RTP-3D similar? Dracule1; why don't you give Ralph(Atmasphere)a call and talk with him on your concerns; he will answer you honestly and will not jam his gear down you throat to get a sale; this has been my direct experience. | |
| Where are you today? Moved to tubes and have not looked back;I can not find the midrange magic in solid state that I have in tubes,but I have never listened to the elite of the elite of solid state,so it may exist and I just don't know about it.I am looking someday to... | |
| Apogee vs Soundlab Chris- check out what Jafox used in a mod on his speakers:"I also replaced that horrible "brilliance" rheostat with a gold plated double-contact selector switch of 6 resistance values (values 0-> 2 ohms range). Treble clarity significantly impr... | |
| Apogee vs Soundlab Jafox: Thanks for the feedback;the brillance rheostat replacement is a mod I may try;again thank you. | |
| Apogee vs Soundlab Strange comments on the vtl amps as albertporters system had the vtl 750 monoblocks driving his soundlabs; when I emailed albert for advice regarding his setup there was never a bad word mentioned; there must have been a weak link else where in Ga... | |
| Tube Dampers? I don't have any secrets of how to remove the left on; I use dampers on my 6922's in my PSE HL-1 with great success; they are from herbies audio labs; check them out;only a few $$ and they work with no left on. | |
| Joule 150A MKII versus Atma-sphere Preamps I agree with Tvad as I have run my PSE HL-1 in both modes and the Balanced always seem to have a lower noise floor and offered more resolution;also when I last talked with Ralph he recommended using Mogami cable which I did and think it is excella... |
