| If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps... I haven't heard the three preamps you're looking at,however they all seem to come from very good manufacturers. The only thing that would make me shy away from the LM pre is having to use a step up transformer, but that's me. Best of luck with... | |
| speaker distortion What equipment is he driving the speakers with? | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? I thought tubes added even order harmonics? | |
| Best Sounding Passive Preamp I own a Promitheus TVC. I have had it in and out of my system (depending which amplifier I am running) for 3 years. It worked flawlessly when I used it with my Monarchy SM70's and Nola Boxer 2's. I have even ran it using 25' rca's. No issues what... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Thanks 1gertrude,I had a little issue yesterday with a sub cable that wasn't making nice in the sandbox. Now that this is taken care of,some quick impressions. Here's a quick rundown of my gear. Right now I'm running a pair of Hornshoppe Great ... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Well, I finally have the Unlimited in my possession. Aric shipped it out last Thursday as he said he would,and according to tracking I was to have it on Sat. the 26th. The USPS had different plans. After having taking a tour around the upstate NY ... | |
| Low Watt Solid State Amp I run a pair of Monarchy's. I have never checked the temp,but they do get warm to the touch. | |
| Low Watt Solid State Amp I own a First Watt F5,and a pair of Monarchy SM-70mkII's. I picked all of them up on the used market. The F5 was slightly over your budget.(and I do mean slightly) The pair of Monarchy's were well under your budget. Very nice amps in tasty class A. | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 My house is worth about half of what these amps sell for. That's fine. They are not marketed towards people of my means. It makes me chuckle when I read how upset people get when something like this is released. If you really want to show these fo... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Yikes! | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Thanks for the heads up kalali. That is funny you mentioned tubes. That is one of the questions I asked him yesterday. He gave me some good recommendations. I have some 12ax7,and some t7's I'll try. I hope to have the pre at the beginning of next ... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp I corresponded with Aric yesterday. He was able to send me a pic of my new baby! As he stated earlier in this thread,he'll get it out Thursday. Aric is definitely a class act,and takes time out to help his clients. He always responds very q... | |
| Adcom Gia 555ii amp and gfp 565 preamp Sounds like a nice set up! For the longest time I had the same issue with subs. They filled in the lower regions ok,but they always sounded like something wasn't quite right. I finally connected them directly to my amp using high level inputs,and ... | |
| Adcom Gia 555ii amp and gfp 565 preamp That's good to know that SS equipment that has been sitting doesn't have to go through the same steps as tube equipment. Enjoy that amp and pre! What speakers are you running? | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp What I meant was,will I need any additional break in? Or will my ears need to be burned in? Lol! |
