| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 This is a very interesting thread, and in fact, this thread hind a big question mark for us all. It is the pre we ask for. For example, Audio research Ref 5se, some one try to swap it out and some one call it world class pre. So who is right? Wha... | |
| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? Sopra series are such good speakers, in my opinion. | |
| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? Right now,A lot of Hi End system use 2 chassis for pre ONLY ,the main point is to isolate the electric noise from the circuit, not mention inside the integrated, the power is splitting into pre and amplifier. so the integrated is confined to th... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 OP, If you can borrow a ref 75 se, and hooked up in your system,you might change your mind now. Ref 75 se is very powerful, do not be fooled with its 75w specs. | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 Agree with @ghdprentice You are better to choose tube amplifier instead. Used Audio research Ref 75 might be a good choice with your price range. A lot of people choose SS power amplifier, and I try to remind several times, if they replace with... | |
| Is system synergy worth having matched components? Synergy,yes! It is important. Same brand, not really. The pair from same brand is the understanding of the designer. The pair could be good one, but not great one. You might found the great match on the market with different brand. Just like me,... | |
| Is system synergy worth having matched components? If you ask a dealer, they will tell you it is very important to use the same brand pre and amplifier,as it is the easy way to go and they can increase the sales. In fact, if you are a experience guy, you do not need follow that way, you might ch... | |
| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? @fiesta75 +1 Do not go for integrated. Separates will let you have the chance to change in the future. What you need right now might be a pre replacement first. Luxman C900u used is a good choice. and go and see. | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Cremona Ref 75se is very powerful. For tube power amplifier, how powerful are they? Don't see the specs,you better try and see. I have VT100 mkiii at the same time, but ref 75se go over by far. | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? @axo0oxa I am fully agree with you and you are talking the details which I do not on my prior post. Thank you! The key word to description the while story is "imitate", we use electric device to imitate the live sound, which is completely diffe... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? Back to the amplifier + speaker. If you want the system to have live music, the key is on the right pre. Preamplifiers could be very different,some very high price pre could filter some sparkle of the recording,which you do not know if you do not ... | |
| Favorite Preamps without phono section Demo listen to confirm the pre will open your amplifier, which is the most important point. Another question, is the details you get from the listen. I am extremely love the pre with detail. | |
| Accuphase E-260 Voltage Conversion (100V to 230V) Is that to say if I buy luxman cl38uc directly from Japan,we can change the voltage by ourselves to 120V ? | |
| Audio research reference 10 tube replacement One way or another, they must move on with the ref 10, as it has 6 years since debut. | |
| Audio research reference 10 tube replacement Many years since ref 10 is debut, and I just expect to have ref 11 coming soon. Audio research power amplifier is far better than its preamplifier, and due to 6h30 in the preamplifier,it becomes a hard job, cause 6h30 is a strong horse and I am... |
