| Best $1000 set up for Avalon Evolution NP speaker? I recently purchased the XPA 200 from Emotiva. It is driven by an ARC preamp and sounds fantastic. A very well engineered and great sounding amplifier. | |
| New cartridge for MMF 5 I had the clearaudio maestro wood on an MMF 5 playing thro a cambridge audio 640p. It sounded stunning. Since then I have upgraded the TT and phono and still use the maestro. | |
| An audiophile dilemma I may be a little late to contribute my 2c. My main system is a pair of Harbeth SHL5 driven by naim xs2 and various digital sources. In my basement I have the 4 pis: a 2 way pro system based on the JBL 2226H and horn loaded B&C DE250 powered b... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15 Thanks Br3098. So despite my intial skepticism about horns I decided to build myself the Wayne Parham Four Pi speakers with the upgraded drivers and stock crossovers. And I am not a skeptic anymore. The midrange and dynamics of this pair absolutel... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15 How about the Cornscalas? They are supposedly having the bass of cornwalls and the open mids and highs of the Lascalas? Has any body built these by Bob Crites design? I have exchanged emails with him and he seems like a true gentleman. Since I hav... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15 A point to reckon because the upgradidtis has been happening a little to often to me. But am hoping a good horn will make me forget the gear and buy music instead. | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 Any updates on those 12AU7s guys? | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 I just got my Shuguang KT88z treasures Grade A. Thanks Horchai for the suggestion. They sound so well balanced and full bodied right out of the box! I have read that it just gets better. But recommended burn in is 300 hours?!! I bought these from ... | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 I am loving the new mullard 12ax7s. Kevin's advice was right on. Smooth organic sound yet the bass is full and less bloated than before. Seems like the noise floor went down and there is more detail. I bet the NOS mullard cv4004 may have been bett... | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 yes jwglista, i am getting skeptical of the value we can find sonically in upgrading the 12au7 tubes. I have always been thinking of the reissue gold lion KT88s in favor of the shuguang kt88 z since the price is nearly half!evilfij - I have the tu... | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 Jwglista - I agree with you on the 6550s sounding a bit flat and dynamically constrained. I personally like the electro-harmonix EL34 to my tung-sol 6550 reissues. What KT88s have you tried?Now the pope 12ax7 .. .are they the same as the dutch amp... | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 Thanks Orpheus10. I did call upscale and was told the pre tubes are shuguangs. I was advised to go for the mullard platinum cv4004's.Does anybody have experience with mullard gold or platinum cv4004's usina a primaluna? any sonic difference betwee... | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 Orpheus10 - The 12AX7 I swapped were stock primaluna for the cheap EH 12ax7s. I am not sure they are shuguang. Are they? I found the EH 12ax7s to be marginally better but better ... in terms of bass response. Are the NOS RCA 12AU7's clear top? | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 Ok Rwwear. Stop with the links already. My thread is for hifi amps and not guitar pedals. | |
| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 Horchai - Thank you. The Shuguang Treasure KT88-Zs look gorgeous! Are they the black treasures you have? There are pictures of them at tubestore.com. At ~ $480 for a matched quad they are quite expensive for my standards. Are they worth the sound?... |
